SOV

Korean is classified as an SOV language, which stands for (Subject-Object-Verb) word order. English on the other hand is an SVO language. A subject is the one who acts. An object is the one who receives the subjects action. For example:
(
English) Bob loves Jenny.
Who loves Jenny? Bob does. Who is loved by Bob? Jenny is. In Korean this sentence will be in the the word order:
(Korean) Bob Jenny loves.

some basic facts

I am having fun learning this language , its much easier than I assumed .
The Korean language is spoken by more than 60 million people. It belongs to the group of Altaic languages together with Japanese, Ainu, and Mongolian, which were split one another several thousand years ago. Syntactically, Korean shares some common characteristics with these Altaic languages, while over 70% of its contemporary vocabulary came from Chinese.
