Grammar of the Korean language

Inbox

• Korean doesn't conjugate verbs according to the subject.[cite:@armstrong2021why]

• No grammatical gender.

• Subject-object-verb.

• No grammatical plurals.

• Korean is a "null-subject language," meaning that the grammar permits independent clauses to leave the subject implicit.

• Verbs and adjectives are two partitions of a greater class of words, and are both called verbs (in Korean). When the difference is meaningful, adjectives are descriptive verbs and verb verbs are action verbs.

• Verbs and adjectives are a fully "closed class," meaning that new verbs and adjectives generally aren't considered acceptable, unless formed with -하다. source: wiktionary sigh i need to set up zotero on my laptop.
