LEVEL 1 LESSON 24
So far, through our previous lessons, we have learned how to say what where when and who.

What = [mwo] Where = [eo-di] When = [eon-je] Who = [nu-gu]

And today, we are going to learn some more (interrogatives).

How = [eo-tteo-ke] Why = [wae]

How much (money) = [eol-ma] How + adjective/adverb = [eol-ma-na]

Generally, these interrogatives in Korean are used before the verb of a sentence. But as the word order of the sentences is much more flexible (thanks in part to the subject/topic/object markers), they can come in at various parts of sentences, depending on the context or the nuance.

Examples 1. [eo-tteo-ke] = how ? [eo-tteo-ke cha-ja-sseo-yo?] = How did you find it? ( = to find, to look for)
