This made me start thinking about the time Namjoon was teaching V some English by asking him some questions and V would say "Movie seeing" and "music listening" because that's the order it'd be in in Korean.
yep omg now that i think about it i was always like wait, he's saying it backwards not just because he was learning english but that's how their sentences are structured omgggggg
Right? It all makes sense now 😫 Like, their language sounds weirdly structured to us but our language probably sounds just as strange, if not more strange than Korean. At least in Korean you get to the point faster, with less stress on things that should be obvious with context 😂
What helped me remember sentence order was to think of it in Yoda talk but with the subject omitted XD. "Movie, I saw", "Train, I took", "Apple, I ate" and just minus the "I" and there you have it!
I was literally so confused and thought that it was so hard that the verb had to go last and that Korean was such a weird language before I realized that my native language too uses that system and I just never realized it XD
My goal was to be able to watch ww2 german newsreels without subtitles :p, then it was to speak german without accent, and then to be able to speak the Berliner dialekt without accent and then the stage variety (Bühnendeutsch)
That's so dope, Korean is so practical its amazing. Considering the natural tendency of language of going simpler (abbreviations for example) in order to transmit information quicker, this quirk of the context having such an active role to actually omit whole parts of a sentence is so so coooooool ✨ argh it never fails to impress me
I just remembered an article somewhere that I read. Pretty much the Korean hangul system and sentence structure was made easy so that peasants in the olden days would be able to easily read, write, and speak Korean.
I've always thought "Wow, it's so crazy that we remember all these words and know what they mean!" and now I'm like "HOW DO WE KNOW WHERE ALL THE WORDS GO HOW DO WE REMEMBER THIS STUFF HOW DO WE JUST KNOW HOW HOW HOW WHY WHY WHY LIFE CRISIS EXISTENTIAL CRISIS ALL THE CRISES RIGHT NOW" I'm so overly dramatic, but it is so incredible.
@@brigettecarnate2462 I mean I was going to do that but hangul is easier to learn then katakana,hiragana and kanji which has like 5000 characters so it depends on what you want to do really
That's because Spanish and English have a very similar sentence structure, that makes it one of the easiest languages to learn (for native English speakers). I personally know four lanaguages, and two of them have a sentence structure that is similar to Korean, therefore it will be easier for me to learn the language.
@@bellaruben7458 Relatable, I am native to english but I cannot learn the verbs and adjectives and stuff, it's going to make learning Korean so much more difficult oof
For me sov is easy ,my mother tongue is in sov , while studying I relate korean to my language it is easy rather than in English. I am learning English for a while but it is still tough for me, I think korean is a simple language it has so many similarly with my language.
Even though I already knew this it's so good to hear it put in such a clear and to the point way. Thank you. It helps to make it clear and easier to explain to others too.
In the English order of saying XD If you take a look at the korean subtitles... Example: Your path, you must decide. >>네가 결정해야 한다, 네 길을. (You must decide your path.)
Thank you this was really helpful (sorry to mention BTS) I was watching a video and they said basically bangtan we are. Idk what they said They were introducing themselves and they said bangtan first. I was so confused I almost game up on learning Korean. I didn’t know the grammar would be drastically different.
Well actually, 'Bantan we are.' isn't grammatically correct in Korean either:) But people often use that while talking. +) 'bantan' in the sentence above is not an objective, it's a complement, so it has the similar sentence structure when compared with English. So it's: SOV & SVC Hope this will help you!!
for people that are confused, when i started learning japanese (which has the the same SOV structure) it was explained to me that you had to form sentences the way yoda would. so instead of "It is a pen" you would say "Pen, it is."
*cries in broken korean* the basics got me struggling...but I need to learn cause I love bts and I wanna watch run bts without needing to read sub titles 😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩
Well, I think , if English n korean both r not ur mother toungue, then this channel is a great platform to know both the languages closely, coz not jus korean is made easy hear, I can speak English well, but I'm seeing it from a different perspective, thanks a lot for the video..
For desi people here, even we have same kind of sentence structure. For eg normally even we say 'maine movie dekhi' I find korean and Hindi very similar in some ways.
this is what ive been looking for ! im pretty decent at reading hangul i just need to learn about the grammar and sentence structures also some pronunciation! hopefully i'll start to understand korean much better soon! i can understand minor phrases and words but i really want to be able to understand and have conversations as i would love to visit korea
It’s kind of funny because in AAVE the object is usually the most important so “saw a movie” has a stronger sentence essence than “I saw” and makes way more sense
I'm french , but learning english was way more easier😂 now i struggle in French ,why did they make this language this difficult ..And i'm here now, learning Korean to have struggles in English and more in French 😭
을 and 를 are object markers, they are used after an object and before a verb. they are only used in cases where the verb describes something. try thinking of the verb and then adding "what". i ate (what) and that will mean there needs to be an object marker. like with "eating" you have to be able to eat something. like an apple. and with the verb to watch, you have to watch something. it would be translated like this, I movie(object marker) watch(ed). 을 is used when the korean word has a Pacchim or what is translated as, a consonant at the end of a word like 책 (book). because there is "ㄱ" you have to use을 because a consonant like "ㄱ" can not go with another consonant "ㄹ". so it would be written like this 책을. and for an example with a vowel, 개를 (dog). 저는 책을 읽었어요 - "i (topic marker 은/는 - same Pacchim thing) book(object marker) read" - i read the book.
를 is the direct object partivle.. You put 를 after the word that is the object of the sentence. Just like they've shown in the example: (I) ate an apple. You can learn more of this by searching it on the internet or ask a Korean friend if you have one :D Don't mark my words about the explanation, it might be incorrect, I'm not a native speaker. Have a great day
So easy... If you already know japanese grammar or any language with a similar grammar structure, this should be a piece of cake! So glad i already know japanese lol
I'm so stupid I thought that Korean is very difficult because of the verbs comes in the end but now I realize that my own language URDU use this system so it becomes more easy for me to learn heheh
i just started learning korean, and my mother language is croatian. As far as i know, croatian and korean language have almost the same grammar and the way sentences are formed and it makes it much much easier to learn and understand :) We also don’t use subjects much because it’s just too obvious 😂
I'm just assuming this, please correct me if I'm wrong. But I saw that the 4 examples you gave were on the past tense (I *saw* a movie//I *bought* the present//etc) and in Korean they all finished with "sseo-yo", my question is: Does "Sseo-yo" mean it's a sentence in past tense? Thank you in advance
I thought this would be more complicated than I thought. Then I realized this is super similar to learning Hawaiian, cause here in Hawaii we have school electives to learn the native Hawaiian language and this is almost basically the same
i remember hating learning grammar in elementary and now I'm like OMG WOWOWOW ENGLISH IS SO WACKKK HOW DO I KNOW HOW TO DO ALL THIS WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABT IT
I have two questions. The first would be how a question word order would be formed( where to use how,what,when where, who, and why). My second would be when there are two nouns. Like “this baby’s bottle” or “the students textbook”
I can speak three languages: persian, turkmen turkic and english. I hope I can learn more languages in the future. I sometimes think I can't. I hope I can continue.
日本語と一緒じゃない？ The grammar is extremely similar to Japanese, which does everything in this video as well actually. It's a good language to learn if you know one or the other! (My wife is a native Japanese speaker, but half Japanese and Korean, so we are thinking about learning Korean together. It seems like a natural progression.)
It makes sense if the subject is important in English because "I" am important in the west. I think with Korean, the community mentality makes the other thing "movie" more important in the sentence. In English it's all about what WE are doing to something, but Korean it's like, what are you taking part in... does that make sense... I dunno it helps me.
