I know for many native English speakers, learning a language like Korean can be both daunting & intimidating due to the difference in sentence structure. A basic compound sentence like: "I want to go to Korea to see Korean Unnie." When translated to Korean, the word order is almost completely reversed and becomes: "I - Korean Unnie - to see - Korea - go want to." -저는 한국언니를 보고 한국에 가고 싶어요.- 저는 헌국어니를 보러 한국에 가고 싶어요. But your brain reorganizes the words for you automatically; and believe it or not, this is much easier to say if you don't think about the word order.
Henry Nakamura : Initially one does, but once once one becomes fluent in a language, one no longer consciously thinks about word order. We make try to think of a particular word, but we don't think of where to insert that word in a sentence.
Tony Ahn, Jr. I don't understand. Don't just ALL of the verbs go to the end? Like "We got what we came here for", isn't it "We what we here for got came" ??? Please answer lmao this is what I have trouble with.
bts is my life. i don't think you can except it. ~ The short Answer: No you do NOT just put ALL the verbs on the end of a Korean sentence. In English grammar, basic sentences follow the pattern: Subject + Verb + Object In Korean grammar, basic Korean sentences follow the pattern: Subject + Object + Verb OR Object + Verb In longer sentences where there are multiple verbs & objects, you still need to group words as: Subject + Object + Verb / Object + Verb By the way, there is no direct translation for your sentence: "We got what we came here for." Koreans would say something like: 우리가 여기 온 목적을 달성했어요. "We achieved our purpose here." (We here purpose ours achieve did.)
Tony Ahn, Jr. What about a sentence with I, you, and me. "How could you do that to me" which is the subject? Also , can you give me a list on what goes first to last? Like subject object verb (then) object verb (next) object noun, then conjunction, preposition, etc.

Hey, I know this is 9 months ago and your Korean probably improved a lot but your translation is kinda wrong. "저는 한국언니를 보고 한국에 가고 싶어요." If I had to translate that to English it would be: "I see Korean Unnie, and (I) want to go to Korea." Which is probably not what you were trying to say LOL. For this sentence you need the particle ~(으)러 가다/오다 = To go/come for ~ reason. So something like this: 저는 한국언니를 보러 한국에 가고 싶어요. = I want to go to Korea to see Korean Unnie. The hard part of learning Korean for me is there are multiple ways to say something that means the same thing. Learning which one to use and when to use it is very hard. For example, this is another way to say your sentence: 저는 한국언니를 보기 위해서 한국에 가고 싶어요.
The word order for korean & Indian sentences are exactly same, So it is very easy to understand and make sentence. But it may be hard for english and other speakers to make sentences.
Korean unnie, your channel has helped and supported me so much! And I now know the Korean structure! If it wasn’t for u I could have been still struggling with the Korean language, thank you for all your support
Agh, I am such a slow learner! I should probably learn more basic stuff first as its a bit difficult for me, personally. But this video should help me in the future. And it's not that it's complex just so very different from English! I wish I could make sense of things and be a quicker learner!
Would it be possible to make a video for a basic conversation, or something along those lines? For example, how to understand and say both sides of "Hello, how are you?" "I am good, thanks!" and so on. If there is already a video like this of Korean Unnie's I haven't seen, please let me know!
Tony Ahn, Jr. I've got Korean friends, who live in Korea. So the only way too meet them properly is to go to Korea. And if i can meet Korean Unnie, that's a plus 😀.
+한국언니 Korean Unnie I'm going to visit in January, between the 11th and 30th. Is there any possibility you would have a "meet and greet"? I would also love to thank you personally!
Hello Korean Unnie.... Can you teach us about basic grammar and how to use it in daily life.?? And there are so many words for... You.... Me.... I.... He... She... Etc... So kindly plz tell us which Korean word we should use to adress people.... Thank you...
하다 usually is used to mean "to do", or is added to nouns to make verbs like 사랑하다-to love, however it has other meanings other than to do. So just try to look at the different ways 하다 is used and the context and apply it as best as possible.
I still have some questions 1.when you form a sentence for example: did you forget something?,how would you form it because I’m still unsure of the verb matter,i do understand a little bit thanks to you but what would be the verb for did,an,am and stuff like that
Personal tutor would be difficult cuz I'm too busy these days :( But you comment the songs that you want to learn and I will make a video explaining the lyrics. :)
very useful video.thank you so much. By the way,you're very pretty and cute 😍. I've already learnt Korean.I need document to practice listening.Do you have some suggestion for me?
Romanization is not really helpful because in romanization the pronouncation is different on the way you pronounce it ex. (Sorry if im gonna use a bad word example) 씨발 romanized: sibal pronounciation: shibal

Tony Ahn, Jr. really? How do we even not think about the order when we are speaking?
Henry Nakamura : Initially one does, but once once one becomes fluent in a language, one no longer consciously thinks about word order. We make try to think of a particular word, but we don't think of where to insert that word in a sentence.

In English grammar, basic sentences follow the pattern:
Subject + Verb + Object
In Korean grammar, basic Korean sentences follow the pattern:
Subject + Object + Verb
OR
Object + Verb
In longer sentences where there are multiple verbs & objects, you still need to group words as:
Subject + Object + Verb / Object + Verb
By the way, there is no direct translation for your sentence:
"We got what we came here for."
Koreans would say something like: 우리가 여기 온 목적을 달성했어요.
"We achieved our purpose here."
(We here purpose ours achieve did.)

This is actually true haha

Hey, I know this is 9 months ago and your Korean probably improved a lot but your translation is kinda wrong.

If I had to translate that to English it would be: "I see Korean Unnie, and (I) want to go to Korea." Which is probably not what you were trying to say LOL.
For this sentence you need the particle ~(으)러 가다/오다 = To go/come for ~ reason.

저는 한국언니를 보러 한국에 가고 싶어요. = I want to go to Korea to see Korean Unnie.

The word order for korean & Indian sentences are exactly same, So it is very easy to understand and make sentence.
But it may be hard for english and other speakers to make sentences.

Thank you for the informative video. I just have one question. What was the pronunciation of clothes in Korean. I was actually confused.
옷= ot
Hello Korean Unnie.... Can you teach us about basic grammar and how to use it in daily life.?? And there are so many words for... You.... Me.... I.... He... She... Etc... So kindly plz tell us which Korean word we should use to adress people.... Thank you...
what is the meaning of 하다? in the first example (to wash face, it is used as "to do". In the fifth example it is used as "to put on")
하다 usually is used to mean "to do", or is added to nouns to make verbs like 사랑하다-to love, however it has other meanings other than to do. So just try to look at the different ways 하다 is used and the context and apply it as best as possible.
For makeup it is actually used as "to do makeup"
I still have some questions 1.when you form a sentence for example: did you forget something?,how would you form it because I’m still unsure of the verb matter,i do understand a little bit thanks to you but what would be the verb for did,an,am and stuff like that
very nice teach

오랜 시간 일을 너무 피곤하고 아파요. 예, 번역기를 사용합니다. No way out.break free
사과를 먹다 correct me please
머리=hair, head.
It would be more useful if you had written in English letters also so that I can know the correct pronunciation
I will make a video of learning Hangul soon so you could read and write Korean alphabet! :)
It's better not to know the romanization
Romanization is not really helpful because in romanization the pronouncation is different on the way you pronounce it ex. (Sorry if im gonna use a bad word example) 씨발 romanized: sibal pronounciation: shibal
