How it works
Use 안 before many verbs and adjectives to negate them, and keep Korean question structure close to statement order with a questioning tone or punctuation. This pattern typically appears as 안 + verb/adjective and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- The base word order usually stays very similar to a statement.
- 안 gives a compact, common spoken negation pattern.
Why it matters
Talk about existence, possession, and negation clearly.
