Verb Conjugation of "쓰다" ? I am asking in the sense of, in English as well as Spanish and French we "conjugate the verb" to to proper pronoun. Il est/Elle est, He is/She is, etc. Is this also true in Korean? If so, how do I attempt this correctly?

do you mean 'I am, you are, she/he is' like this? korean verbs are not changed by subject pronoun ... but they are changed by tense.. what mstania said.. and changed by situtation.... 쓰니, 쓰고, 써서, 쓸, 쓴 etc.. and changed by listener and speaker's relation.. (like polite way to say or not) i wrote this : 1 내가 썼습니다., , 2. 내가 썼어요, 3. 내가 썼어 No 1 is most politeway to say. and 2 is more 3. is informal way

I think that doesn't work at least in Korean. (also in Chinese,Japanese,Malay)

Thank you, all of you. I suppose I wasn't entirely detailed enough. My apologies. Hoon, you answered what I didn't ask. How I meant to phrase this was, the ending of verbs changes at times due to the pronoun. Thank you for specifying that Korean does not have this fun little quirk! Thank you again Everyone!!

Using male or female (pro)nouns is the very 'western'-style way of using language, it will rarely be found in many Asian languages. Korean verbs conjugate depending on some particles or verb endings, such as -야, -도, -요, -ㅆ-, not the gender of the subject. 쓰다 to use/write 여기에 써요. 여기에 쓰지. 여기에 써야 돼요. 여기에 썼어.
