Let's Learn Korean!
The Korean Alphabet also known as Hangul, or Chosongul (Han-geul in
South Korea) (Chosn'gl in North Korea), is the native alphabet of the
Korean language.
[South Korea]
The modern name Hangul was coined by Ju Sigyeong in 1912. Han means
"Great" in archaic Korean, while geul is the native Korean word for "Script".
Han could also be understood as the Sino-Korean word "Korean", so that
the name can be read "Korean script" as well as "Great Script".
I'm sorry if there's some mistake. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't
study on a korean school. It's a self-study only. Thank you.

Example, Harry Potter it will be, ' ' (haeri poteo) when you read this it
will be Heri Poto. (silent a and e) for example only.
(!) This is the fun thing: listen to Kpop (for example the one in the video link),
watch Kdramas, watch movies (I love Korean horror movies), watch variety
shows (like Running Man) etc. If you lose interest in learning Korean these
things will motivate you and you can also catch some words and the
pronunciation while doing it.

I'm sorry guys but it's difficult for me to upload more pages on how to learn
Korean because I'm trying to learn it too and I feel as though I'm just making
it more difficult for you by throwing random vocabulary and stuff without
much sense so I'll be putting many webpages to learn Korean, okay?
If I find useful things (such as how to construct phrases) I'll be sure to
upload it

When you are referring to someone who you know well, then you may be
able to refer to them directly, such as using their first name. However when
youare introduced to someone to whom you are not familiar with, or am
meeting for the first time, then you would add -ssi to the end of the name.
An example of this would be Doojin-ssi

Learn Korean - Sentence Structure and Word Order (p.1 of 1)
Note: There is another post about sentence structure
In Korean the structure of sentence differ to English sentences, for example
the phrase Chal Chinaessooyo literally means "Well have you been getting
on?" which is the opposite from English.
In general the structure of the Korean sentences is broken down as subject
- object - verb
"Jon the ball kicked"
There are a few words that you may add to the end of verb stems at the end
of sentences, these include -yo which makes sentences polite, and -ro
which means "in order to".
In some cases the verb stems may in effect end in consonants in which
* The construction can only be used in verbs involving 'going' and 'coming'
and cannot be used with other verbs at the end of sentences.

In regards to the order of a sentence, there are four basic types in Korean.
These are:
S + N
S + V
S + A
S + O + V
* S = subject, N = noun, A = adjective, O = object and V = verb.
For example,
In English, the past tense of "go" is "went."
In Korean, the past tense of "" (gada, go) is "" (gatta, went).
The verbs function in the same way in English and Korean.
However, in the case of adjectives, the past tense of "good" in English is not
"gooded" but it is
written, "was good."
Contrary to this, in Korean, "" (jota, good) has a past tense form of "
" (joatta, was
good).
Compare:
In English, "good" (present) "was good" (past)
In Korean, "" (present) "" (past)
Therefore, the adjectives in Korean function like verbs in that they can be
converted to a past tense
To understand
Topic Particle - /
, the topic particle, is attached to the end of , which means the pronoun
"I", to show that the
topic is about "I" or the subject is "I".
= I am a student, too.
In this sentence, , the additive particle, is attached to to show that in
addition to a person or
people who are students, "I", too, am a student.
/ [Topic Particle]
The first particle, we'll learn, is /, the topic particle. It is used for a
subject or topic of a
sentence. is used for nouns without a final consonant, and for nouns
with a final consonant.
Let me explain,
= I am
= A person is
consists of +
= n (an initial consonant)
= a (a vowel)
You would use the polite form even when the person you're speaking to is of
the same age as you or younger than you if you're not very close to the
person and/or you're in a formal social setting. I'd say it's best to stick to the
polite form first and then use the informal form later as you gain more
understanding of the Korean language.
The major mark of the division is probably the age. The polite language is
used to people above one's age and informal language to people equal to
and below one's age.
However, generally, the polite language is generally used in many social
situations and the informal language is usually used among close friends.
In Korean, the verb endings change depending on whether the language is
used in writing or speech.
For example, " " which means "I went to school" is a written
form, and "
" is a spoken form.
= I went to school (written form as in writing, books, diary
and newspaper)
= I went to school (spoken form as in conversations,
movies and dramas)
= I
= I + (Topic particle)
(usually in spoken Korean)
= I + (Identifier particle)
= I + (Additive particle)
= I + (Object particle)
(usually in spoken Korean)
= my
= mine (written Korean)
(usually in spoken Korean)
Note: becomes when combined with (Identifier particle)
Polite form (, I)
= I
= I + (Topic particle)
(usually in spoken Korean)
= I + (Identifier particle)
= I + (Additive particle)
= I + (Object particle)
(usually in spoken Korean)
= my
= mine (written Korean)
