Subject + Noun (이다 to be)
1. The Korean verb “이다” (i-da) means “to be”, which serves like an English “be”-verb in a subject+noun sentence.
2. 이다 is used to indicate that a noun is indeed a noun. Common structure is Noun1은/는 and Noun2[이다]^
Example: 저는 학생입니다 - I am a student |
Korean Question Sentence - Yes No Question
Korean language formulates a yes-no question simply by changing the sentence ending, from -ㅂ/습니다 in statements into -ㅂ/습니까 as questions.
All other elements in the sentence remain in their places. -ㅂ니까 is added to end-vowel stems, and 습니까 is added after end-consonant stems.
Example:
당신은 학생입니까? - Are you a student?
당신은 사과를 먹습니까? - Do you eat apples? |
