🎓GRAMMAR : Basic Korean Conjugations (Verbs and Adjectives)

Description:
Basically , all verbs and adjectives consist of two parts:
1. A word stem (the part that remains consistent)
2. A word ending (the part that gets conjugated)

In the dictionary, all word endings are 다 (da) which must be conjugated according to use. Conjugations happen differently depending on at least 4 criteria:
1. Sentence tense (past, present, future)
2. Politeness level (formal polite, informal polite, casual speech)
3. Passive and causetive forms.
4. Speech styles.

Structure:
Basic Conjugation according to Politennes level.
1. *Formal polite* Language is usually spoken to people who are older than you or in a higher position of authority.
2. *Informal polite* Language is used simply as common politennes to all people.
3. *Casual speech* is used among friends, close relatives, and to those who are younger than you.

Questions:
1. Formal polite: ends in-(스)ㅂ니까 ? (are you watching a movie ?) = 영화를 봅니까 ? (yeonghwaleul bobnigga ?)
2. Informal polite: ends in-아/어요? (will you go to school?)= 학교에 가요 ? (haggyo-e-gayo?)
3. Casual speech: ends with the word stem and rising intonation (Do you want to eat lunch ?)= 점심 먹어? (jeomsim meogeo?)

Statements/answer:
1.Formal polite: ends in-(스)ㅂ니다 (yes , i'm watching a movie)= 네,영화를 봅니다. (Ne, yeonghwaleul bobnida)
2. Informal polite: ends in-아/어요 (No, i'm not going to school)= 아니요 , 학교에 안 가요. (Aniyo, haggyo-e- angayo)
3. Casual Speech: ends with merely the word stem (i already ate = 먹었어) (meggeosseo)
