In Unit 0, I taught you how to write words in Korean. Above, you can see the first set of words you should study to get you started. I have not yet taught you how to use those words or how conjugate them.  \nThe words for “hello,” “thank you,”“how are you,” and “please” are actually quite difficult in Korean. There is actually grammar within the words themselves. At this stage, I would simply memorize these “greeting words” as one unit, and you can worry about the grammar within them later when it becomes relevant. The words are:  \n안녕하세요 = hello  \n감사하다 and 고맙다 are the two words that are commonly used to say \"thank you.\"However, they are rarely used in those forms and are almost always conjugated. They can be conjugated in a variety of ways, which will be introduced in Lesson 5 and Lesson 6.  \n© [HowtoStudyKorean.com](HowtoStudyKorean.com) – Unit 1: Lesson 1 1  \nThe most common ways to conjugate these words are:  \n감사합니다감사해요  \n고마워고맙습니다고마워요  \nThe way to say “how are you” in Korean is:잘 지내세요? = How are you  \nAlthough this is the most literal way to say “how are you” in Korean, it is not as common as the English expression. Korean people love food, and common way to greet somebody is to ask them if they have eaten. The idea of asking questions in Korean is taught in Lesson 21.  \nThe way to say “please” in Korean is:제발 = Please  \nIt is, of course, important for you to memorize these expressions in Korean, but you need to know that there is a reason why they are said that way. For now, don’t worry about why they are said that way, and simply memorize them. We will get back to them in later lessons when they become important.  \nKorean Sentence Structure  \nOne of the hardest things to wrap your head around in Korean is the alien-like sentence structure. Essentially, Korean sentences are written in the following order:  \nSubject – Object – Verb (for example: I hamburger eat), Or  \nSubject – Adjective (for example: I beautiful)  \nI am going to quickly explain what a “subject” and “object” mean, as your ability to understand later concepts depends on your understanding of this.  \nThe subject refers to person/thing/noun/whatever that is acting. The subject does the action of the verb. For example, the subject in each sentence below is underlined:  \nI went to the park I will go to the park My mom loves me He loves me The dog ran fast The clouds cleared up  \n© [HowtoStudyKorean.com](HowtoStudyKorean.com) – Unit 1: Lesson 1 2  \nIn English, the subject always comes before the verb.  \nThe object refers to whatever the verb is acting on. For example, the object in each sentence below is underlined  \nMy mom loves me The dog bit the mailman He ate rice  \nStudents studied Korean  \nIn English, the object always comes after the verb. However, a sentence with a verb does not require an object. For example:  \nI slept  \nI ate  \nHe died  \nSometimes there is no object because it has simply been omitted from the sentence. For example,“I ate” or “I ate rice” are both correct sentences. Other verbs, by their nature, cannot act on an object. For example, you cannot place an object after the verbs “to sleep” or “to go:”  \nI sleep you  \nI go you  \nSubjects are also present in sentences with adjectives. However, there is no object in a sentence with an adjective. The subjects are underlined in the following adjectivesentences below:  \nSchoo","cbCaidYFbpzKbK7v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidYFbpzKbK7v","pdf",172437,"English","# Greeting Words\n# Korean Sentence Structure\n## Subjects and Objects\n# Verbs, Adjectives, and 이다\n# Korean Formality System\n# Korean Particles (~는/은 and ~를/을)","[{\"question\":\"What Korean greeting words should beginners memorize in Unit 1, Lesson 1?\",\"answer\":\"Memorize 안녕하세요 (hello), 감사하다/고맙다 forms for “thank you,” 잘 지내세요? for “how are you,” and 제발 for “please.”\"},{\"question\":\"How does Korean sentence order differ from English in this lesson?\",\"answer\":\"This lesson describes two core patterns: Subject–Object–Verb and Subject–Adjective.
