Let's Learn Korean (Hangeul) Part 2

Hello everybody! Sorry for the late post.. :) In part 2, I'll tell you how to make a sentence in Korean.. So, let's check it out! ^^

English sentence => Subject + Verb + Object + Description (time, place, etc)
Korean sentence => Subject + Description + Object + Verb

So, if in English we have sentence like "EunHyuk eats rice in restaurant", we'll change it to "EunHyuk in restaurant rice eats".

EXAMPLE!!
English sentence => LeeTeuk studying Korean in school
S V O D
Korean sentence => LeeTeuk in school Korean studying
S D O V
이특.. 학교.. 한극어.. 공부하다..
Note :
학교 = school
한국어 = Korean
공부하다 = study

Don't forget about this to make the sentence complete!!
1. Always add "는" (if the last alphabet is vocal) or "은" (if the last alphabet is consonant) in Subject.
Example : I => 나 + 는 = 나는, You => 너 + 는 = 너는, LeeTeuk => 이특 + 은 = 이특은
2. Always add "를" (if the last alphabet is vocal) or "을" (if the last alphabet is consonant) in Object
Example : Me => 나 + 를 = 나를, Book => 책 + 을 = 책을, Korean => 한국어 + 를 = 한국어를
3. Always add "에서" which means "in" in Place Description
Example : in Restaurant => 식당 + 에서 = 식당에서, in house => 집 + 에서 = 집에서, in school => 학교 + 에서 = 학교에서
4. For the Verb, just change "다" in Verb with "~ㅂ니다"
Example : Love => 사랑하다 = 사랑합니다, Go => 가다 = 갑니다, Study => 공부하다 = 공부합니다

So, to final sentence is 이특은 학교에서 한국어를 공부합니다

ANOTHER EXAMPLE!!
English Sentence => I cook samgyeopsal in kitchen
S V O D
Korean Sentence => I in kitchen samgyeopsal cook
S D O V
나.. 키친.. 삼겹살.. 요리하다..

So, the final sentence is 나는 키친에서 삼겹살을 요리합니다



How do you feel?? Is it fun to learn Korean? Or is it difficult? Don't force yourself too much to learn Korean.. Just enjoy it, and you'll master it little by little.

I'm not an expert in Korean.. So, if I've writen something wrong, please tell me.. Your comment will be really meaningful to me :)
