2 Korean grammar, What's the difference with English Grammar? Korean is essentially the same with Latin, but with this difference: Instead of conjugating the noun, Korean language adds a particle at the end of the noun to show which one of the seven parts of language it belongs to. So in Korean, just like Latin, the word order does not matter. Here are the same two sentences in Korean. - 개가 사람을 물다. Gae-ga sa-ram-eul mul-da. (Dog bites man.) - 사람이 개가 물다. Sa-ram-i gae-reul mul-da. (Man bites dog.) Recognize the nouns first. Gae is dog, and saram is man/person. You can see that in the first sentence, the particle ga, attached to gae shows that gae is the subject; the particle eul attached to sa-ram shows that sa-ram is the object. So gae-ga sa-ram-eul mul-da and saram-eul gae-ga mulda mean the exact same thing, just like Latin. Let s go back to what we know. English has something pretty similar to particles: prepositions. Nouns in a sentence, except subjects and objects, need a preposition to explain what the noun is doing in the sentence. For example, consider the sentence: She walked to the park. This is different from She walked the park. in fact, that sentence makes no sense, because there is no preposition telling us what the park is doing in that sentence. The to in front of the park tells us that the park is functioning as an adverb it is describing the manner of the verb, i.e. walk. English has a similar feature as Latin as well, because you can actually conjugate nouns in English. To show plurals, we generally conjugate the noun by adding s or es. Cup can be changed to cups. Noun is also conjugated to show possessives by adding s. So a cup belonging to Mary is Mary s cup. (You can also say that this is not really a conjugation, but a form of particles in English.) In Korean, all the above-named functions showing the function of a noun in a sentence or showing a certain feature of the noun are done by particles. So remember: In correct Korean grammar, A noun cannot stand alone without a particle.

language it belongs to. So in Korean, just like Latin, the word order does not matter. Here are the same two sentences in Korean. - 개가 사람을 물다. Gae-ga sa-ram-eul mul-da. (Dog bites man.) - 사람이 개가 물다.

3 Situation 2. With Jihye in the restaurant S : 어서오세요! 몇 분이세요? S : uh-seo-o-se-yeo! Myeot-bu-ni-se-yeo? S : Welcome! How many are you? A : 두명이요. A : Du-myeong-e-yeo. A : We are two. S : 네, 이쪽으로 오세요.

B : go-map-seum-ni-da B : Thank you. - What is the difference between go-map-seum-ni-da and gam-sa-hamni-da? 고마워 (go-ma-wo) is used between friends or to a younger person than you. 고마워요(go-ma-wo-yo) can be used to everyone in a friendlier way. This is more respectful than 고마워(go-ma-wo). 고맙습니다(go-map-seum-ni-da) can be used to everyone, and it makes you sound more polite and respectuful. 감사합니다(gam-sa-ham-ni-da) is used for a more formal occasion than 고맙습니다(gomap-seum-ni-da). ******고마워 < 고마워요 < 고맙습니다 =< 감사합니다****** Q.
