Sentences in korean are written in the following order:
Subject – Object – Verb
(for example: I hamburger eat)
Or
Subject – Adjective
(for example: I beautiful)
I am going to quickly explain what a “subject” and “object”.
The subject is what is doing the action.
I eat hamburgers
In English, the subject always comes before the verb.
The object refers to whatever the verb is acting on, or what the action is affecting.
I eat hamburgers
In English, the object always comes after the verb. However, a sentence with a verb does not require an object. For example:
I eat
Sometimes there is no object because it has simply been omitted from the sentence. For example, “I eat” or “I ate rice” are both correct sentences.
Subjects are also present in sentences with adjectives. However, there is no object in a sentence with an adjective.
Every Korean sentence MUST end in either a verb (like eat, sleep or walk) or an adjective (like beautiful, pretty, and delicious). This rule is so important that I’m going to say it again: Every Korean sentence MUST end in either a verb or adjective.
