Understanding Verb Conjugations

Building a solid understanding of Korean grammar is key to fluency. Instead of forms like the Japanese te-form, Korean focuses heavily on verb conjugations and sentence endings that change depending on politeness levels and context. For example, the same verb can look different when used formally (합니다), politely (해요), or casually (해).

Adjectives that Act Like Verbs

Adjectives in Korean also work differently compared to many languages. They conjugate just like verbs and are essential for expressing states and qualities. For instance, '크다' (to be big) becomes '커요' in polite speech and '큽니다' in formal contexts.

Communicating Across Contexts

By mastering these patterns from verb endings to adjective usage learners gain the ability to communicate naturally across different situations, whether in casual conversations with friends or in professional environments.
