Korean Word Order

Korean Word Order
韓国語の語順
한국어 어순
 
 
The normal word order for Korean is subject-object-verb.
The biggest difference from English is that the verb is located at the end of the sentence.
And the syllables in gray are the markers, which, in technical terms, are called particles. These particles tell us which word is subject, object, or etc.


韓国語の通常の語順は、主語-目的語-述語の順です。
英語と一番大きな違いは述語が文の最後に位置することです。
また、灰色の音節は専門用語では助詞と言いますが、この助詞は、どの単語が主語なのか、目的語なのかなどを教えてくれます。

한국어 기본 어순은 주어-목적어-술어 입니다.
영어와 가장 다른 점은 술어가 문장의 가장 뒤에 위치한다는 점입니다.
그리고, 회색 음절은 전문용어로 조사라고 하는데 조사는 주어인지 목적인지 등을 알려 줍니다.

오늘 우연히 발견한 사진 A photo I stumbled upon today 本日、偶然見つけた写真 일본에 처음 놀러 와서 당시 유학중이던 동생이랑 교토의 절에서 찍은 사진입니다. 初めて日本に遊びにきた時、当時留学中だった妹と京都のある寺で撮った写真です。 When I first came to Japan for fun, I took this photo at a temple in Kyoto with my sister who was studying in Japan.

Korean age is a way that Koreans calculate their age. It is always one or two years more than your international age (or Western age). Korean age is different than international age because of two reasons. First, you are automatically one year old at birth. In Korea, on the day of your birth, you are considered to be one year old; the time you spent in the womb counts as the first year of your life (despite it only being nine or ten months). Because of this, your Korean age is always at least one year higher than your international age. Second, you age another year because of the turn of the calendar year. Therefore the change of the year on January 1st automatically advances your Korean age by one. Your date of birth doesn’t affect your Korean age.   This is the fomula for “Korean Age”...

(Korean) 안녕, 안녕하세요, 안녕하십니까 (English) Hello, Hi, Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, How are you?, What's up?, and etc... (Japanese) おはよう、おはようございます、こんにちは、こんばんは   반말 Casual language タメ口 안녕 비격식체 존댓말 Polite language for daily conversation 非格式体の敬語 안녕하세요 격식체 존댓말 Formal language for writing and business 格式体の敬語 안녕하십니까     대화 Conversations 会話 A: 안녕하세요. B: 안녕하세요.   안녕하세요 is the most common way of greeting someone in Korean. This greeting is in 존댓말, or polite/formal language. When someone greets you with 안녕하세요, you can simply greet the person back with 안녕하세요. When you write this greeting, you can write it as “안녕하세요.” (statement) or “안녕하세요?” (question form). Either way is perfectly acceptable. 안녕하세요 was originally a question asking “Are you doing well?”, “Are you at peace?”, or “Are you living well?”, but since it is a very common expression, people began to not expect any special answers in reply. For example, when you ask a friend of yours “What’s up...
