All of you might already know that Korean follows the S-O-V structure.

Subject always comes first but it is often dropped

And unlike English, object precedes the verb.

For example, I eat food in English would be I food eat in Korean and it would often be food eat since subject is often dropped.

In this episode of Korean Unnie, we will practice this Object Verb structure with everyday phrases in Korean.

1) 세수를 하다 (to) wash face

세수 face wash

하다 to do

세수를 하다 to wash face

Oh 를 here is the object marker. There are object markers in Korean that you attach behind objects. They are 을 and 를. You attach 을 when the object ends with a consonant and 를 when the object ends with a vowel. I will make a video just for this later on so don’t worry about this too much right now.

세수를 하다 wash face

2) 이빨을 닦다 (to) brush teeth

이빨 teeth

닦다 brush

이빨을 닦다 brush teeth (천천히, 정상)

3) 머리를 감다 (to) wash hair

머리 hair

감다 wash

머리를 감다 to wash hair

4) 머리를 말리다 (to) dry hair

머리 hair

말리다 dry

머리를 말리다 (to) dry hair

5) 화장을 하다 (to) put on make up

화장 make up

하다 to put on

화장을 하다 to put on make up

6) 옷을 갈아입다 to change clothes

옷 clothes

갈아입다 change

옷을 갈아입다 to change clothes

These are the phrases that we have practiced and learned today.

I hope these examples helped you to figure out the basic structure of Korean sentence and always feel free to ask me any questions through comments.
