Starting out in Korean beginner

RULE 1 I eat pizza. Subject – verb – object This is true for a lot of other languages too, like Spanish and French. So this is probably what you’re most used to. But in Korean (as well as Japanese), sentences are formed in an SOV pattern, like this: 나는 피자를 먹어요. na-neun pija-leul meogeoyo. I (subject particle) – pizza (object particle) – eat Subject – object – verb It can be difficult to start thinking in this order when trying to create sentences, but remember this key Korean grammar rule: Korean verbs always go at the end.

2. TO BE VERB Am, is, are: 이에요 / 예요 (polite), 입니다 (formal) To be, to have: 있다 To not be, to not have: 없다

3. PRESENT TENSE 먹다 → 먹 meokda → meok Now let’s start with formal polite tense. If a verb stem ends in a vowel, we add ㅂ니다 to the stem. If it ends in a consonant, we add 습니다. Like this: 먹다 (meokda, “to eat”) 먹다 → drop 다 → add 습니다 → 먹습니다 가다 (gada, “to go”) 가다 → drop 다 → add ㅂ니다 → 갑니다 Easy enough, right? Now, for polite present tense. This one is a bit trickier. If the verb stem’s last vowel is ㅏor ㅗ, you’ll add 아요. If it’s anything else, use 어요.
