Korean nouns have no grammatical gender and take no article — the same word covers “a book” and “the book”. Meaning comes from context and particles.
Plural is usually optional: numbers and context often carry it, and the plural particle 들 can be added (사람 → 사람들).
Nouns are marked by particles: 은/는 for the topic, 이/가 for the subject and 을/를 for the object (사과를 먹어요).
The particle changes with the final sound of the noun: 이/가, 을/를, 은/는 and 와/과.
Korean word order is subject–object–verb (SOV), so the verb comes last and the particles show the role of each noun.
Counting usually needs a counter after the number: 세 명 (three people), 두 개 (two things), 한 권 (one book).
