‘What’ is always a keyword in a language, and important to growing your vocab and skills but there are multiple ways to say ‘What’ in Korean! Which one you use depends on the information and the words’ location in a sentence. Don’t worry though, I’ll run through all this simply and give examples to help you master what you need to know.
Mastering Korean future tense, along with the other tenses, is one of the first things you probably really want to get into when you’re starting out with Korean! After all, it can take your sentences from very basic to more fully communicating and expressing yourself. Luckily it isn’t that hard to get started with the future tense ~ㄹ/을 거예요 and speaking about the future.
Korean object markers are simple enough to get into and figure out as a beginner though there are some tricks to them too. The 을 and 를 particles are attached to words to show that it is the object of a sentence.
Time for some quick grammar! The Korean present participle ‘~질’ can be attached at the end of a word and attaches the meaning of ‘act of using/doing’
This is actually a super useful particle that you’ve already been using without knowing it! The 시 particle shows up in 안녕하세요, with the literal break down of it being 안녕 meaning peace and 하세요 (하다 + 시 + 해요체 honorific form)
