To say to gather up politely in the present tense, use 주워요 (choo-wuh-yoh) · juwoyo. Below is the full conjugation of 줍다 across the three tenses and three everyday speech levels.
Grammar note (ㅂ irregular): ㅂ-irregular verbs end in 다 with a ㅂ final consonant. When a vowel suffix is added, the ㅂ drops and 우 is inserted (or 오 for 돕다 and 곱다). For example, 돕다 (to help) becomes 도와요 in the polite present instead of the expected *돕어요. Before consonant suffixes the ㅂ stays: 돕고, 돕지. See all ㅂ-irregular verbs →
