How do you conjugate 우다?
Why does it become 울지마 when you say "don't cry"? Where does the ㄹ come from? And how would you say "I am crying."

Answer

Oops, for "I'm crying" it's just 저는 울어요 (plain present tense) or 저는 울고 있어요 (progressive).

Answer

The verb "to cry" is 울다. There is no verb 우다 as far as I know. When you want to say "don't do something", you add -지 말다 to the verb stem. So 울 + 지 말다. And then conjugated, it is 울지 마세요 or just 울지 마.
