Abstract

This article delves into the multifaceted nature of Korean adjectives, examining their types, suffixes, and how they manifest in different tenses. The study highlights the syntactic and morphological features that distinguish Korean adjectives from their English counterparts, providing detailed examples to illustrate these distinctions. By exploring the structural nuances of descriptive and stative adjectives, as well as their conjugation patterns, this paper aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of Korean adjectival forms. The findings contribute to the broader linguistic discourse on East Asian languages, offering insights that may inform both theoretical and applied linguistic studies.
