Most words in a Korean sentence have a particle (a fancy word to say 'something') attached to them. These particles indicate the role of each word in a sentence – that is, specifically which word is the subject or object. Note that there is absolutely no way of translating these particles in English, as we do not use anything like them. The following are the particles you should know for this lesson:
는 or 은 (Subject)
This is placed after a word to indicate that it is the subject of a sentence.
Use 는 when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a vowel. For example:
나 = 나는
저 = 저는Use 은 when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a consonant. For example:
집 = 집은
책 = 책은를 or 을 (Object)
This is placed after a word to indicate that is the object of a sentence.
Use 를 when the last letter of the last syllable is a vowel. For example:
나 = 나를
저 = 저를Use 을 when the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant. For example:
집 = 집을
책 = 책을We can now make sentences using the Korean sentence structure and the Korean particles.
I like you = I는 you를 like
는 is attached to "I" (the subject)
를 is attached to "you" (the object)The same could be done for sentences with adjectives. However, remember that sentences with adjectives will not have an object.
The movie was scary = The movie는 was scary
는 is attached to "the movie" (the subject)
