Korean Sentence Structures


The structure of Korean sentencers are different to English sentences. It's pretty much the opposite. Japanese sentence strucutres, however, are very similar to those of Korean's. That's why Japanese people have much easier time learning Korean than Americans or Chinese, and vice versa. 

The general structure is: Subject - object - verb

If a normal english sentence is like: I like pizza

A Korean sentence would be like: I pizza like

나는 피자를 좋아해요

naneun pijareul joahhaeyo

@Kat Basically, yup!
But you would need to add the "eul" after ice cream. Its something like "the" and added after every described noun. I like ramen.→나는 라면을 좋아해요. (Its also kind of why most korean speakers add "the" way too many times in their sentences.)

And if talking about an object (or anything not a person/pet/etc) you wouldn't usually use "love". I guess in some joking or sarcastic instances it could be used, but to express that you like something a lot, you would use "very" or "a lot"
Ex. 나는 아이스크림을 많이 좋아해요.
I like ice cream a lot.

ice cream it'd be like ;

나는 아이스 크림 사랑해요
