[A/N: Thanks for the flood votes guys. #RoadTo1kVotes]
When you want to ask an opinion about something (the topic), you can say
“… 어때요? (How is ...?)” as in “How’s the class?” (or “What is … like?” as
in “What’s Korean food like?”). The answer may be, “It (the class) is hard.”
In English, question words like ‘what, when, where, who, why, how’ appear
at the beginning of the sentence, but Korean sentence order is the same as the answer, which means the topic comes first regardless of whether or not it is a question. Consider the example dialogue below:
A: 수업 어때? (How’s class?)
class how is?
B: (수업) 힘들어. (It’s hard.)
class is hard
Other Examples:
(1) A: 한국어 수업 어때(요)? How’s your
Korean class?
B: 괜찮아(요) It’s alright.
(2) A: 커피 어때(요)? How’s the coffee?
B: 맛있어(요) It’s good/Taste good
(3) A: 한국 음식 어때(요)? What’s Korean
food like?
B: 아주 매워(요) It’s very spicy
