<div style="padding:0.4em 1em 0.3em;">The Korean Wiki Project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible to anyone.

<!-- <Korean wiki project:한국어 위키 프로젝트>는 한국어에 대한 모든 내용을 통합하고, 누구나 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 만들기 위한 협동작업 프로젝트 입니다. 이 사이트는 현재 작업중에 있습니다. 아직 많은 부분이 완성되지 않았습니다. 이 사이트는 아직 공식적으로 공개되지 않은 사이트이며, 충분한 내용을 담기 전까지는 공개하지 않을 예정입니다. -->
 
This website will explain Korean grammar patterns, Korean idioms, slang, along with practical vocabulary words organized by subject. This site will also thoroughly teach you how to read and write Hangeoul (한글), the Korean script, with many examples and even advanced consonant assimilation rules. The site was originally intended to explain everything in English, however as the majority of Korean language students these days are Japanese and Chinese, we encourage users to provide translations in both languages respectively.<br>
 
<!-- 이 사이트에서는 한국어 문법, 관용어, 속어, 주제별 실용적인 단어 등을 설명해 드릴 것입니다. 또한 한글을 어떻게 읽는지, 어떻게 쓰는지, 그리고 자음동화법칙 까지도 다양한 예시를 들어 가르쳐 드릴 것입니다. 이 사이트는 원래 모든 것을 영어로 쓸 예정이었습니다. 그러나 한국어를 배우는 사람들 중 일본과 중국분이 많기 때문에 일본어와 중국어로도 번역할 수 있도록 사용자분들의 도움이 필요합니다.  -->
 
One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in depth information and accurate translations for Korean grammar patterns and vocabulary words where other dictionaries and books fail. Another goal is to make all information on here simple and easy to understand rather than trying to sound as professional and intellectual as possible. There is no point in trying to sound extra articulate when all the person wants to do understand something about Korean. <br>
 
<!-- 이 프로젝트의 목표 중 하나는 다른 한국어사전이나 한국어 교재에서 빠져있는 문법과 단어를, 가장 정확하고 철저한 해석과 번역으로 제공하는 것 입니다. 또 다른 목표는 이 사이트에 있는 모든 내용을 전문적이고 어려운 말이 아닌, 최대한 간단하고 쉬운 방법으로 전달하는 것입니다. There is no point in trying to sound extra articulate when all the person wants to do understand something about Korean.  -->
 
  
In order to make use of this wiki, your computer must first properly display Korean characters. If you see boxes, random characters or question marks, throughout this wiki instead of Korean characters, then your computer isn't properly displaying Korean characters.

<div style="border-bottom:1px solid #007236; padding:0.4em 1em 0.3em;">
 
Anyone who has studied Korean as a second language knows it’s hard to find a book that is both accurate and easy to read. On top of that, most books don’t provide thorough details on grammar usage and don’t describe the feeling certain grammar and words give off. Even the best dictionaries provide no insight into whether the word is mostly used by females, if it’s inappropriate to use to strangers and if the word sounds too formal to use on most occasions. These are often learned in intensive language institutes and through immersing yourself in Korean culture, where using the wrong word might’ve made a few people laugh at your expense.
 
<!-- 제 2 외국어로써 한국어를 배우고 있는 분들이라면 정확하면서도 쉬운 한국어 교재를 찾기가 힘들다는 것을 알고 있을 것입니다. 대부분의 교재는 문법의 정확한 쓰임을 제시해주지 않으며, 단어나 문법의 정확한 어감을 설명해주지 않고 있습니다. 심지어 가장 좋다는 사전에서 조차도 어떤 말은 주로 여자가 쓰는 말인지, 어떤 말은 처음보는 사람에게 쓰면 안되는 말인지, 또 어떤 말은 너무 문어적인 표현인지를 설명해주지 않고 있습니다. 이런것들은 어학원을 통해서 배우거나, 말실수를 함으로써 사람들을 웃게 만든 경험에서나 배우게 됩니다. -->
 
<br><br>
 
For students studying at a language institute, the standard text book might not provide enough explanations, examples or have numerous bad translations. So these students often rely on other textbooks (which have their own problems as well) and end up looking through several textbooks. When it’s time to study, no student wants to carry around several textbooks and hunt for the same grammar pattern in each one. Additionally, there will be things the student learns in class that aren’t provided in any of their textbooks.
 
<br><br>
 
<!-- 어학원에서 배우는 교재에는 충분한 설명과 예문이 없고, 번역이 잘못되어 있는 부분도 다수 포함되어 있습니다. 그래서 어학원에서 배우는 학생들은 다른 책을 찾게되고(물론 그 책도 문제가 있기는 마찬가지입니다), 그러다보면 나중에는 수 권의 책을 뒤적여야 합니다. 한국어를 공부할때 같은 패턴의 문법을 찾아서 여러가지 책을 찾아봐야 하는 고생을 하고싶은 사람은 아무도 없을 것입니다. 게다가 어학원에서 배운 내용이 포함되어 있지 않은
 
책도 있을 것입니다. -->
 
With a wiki, people who have figured out the accurate translation for Korean grammar patterns can give their own 2 cents and put up their own articles. Telling the textbook it’s wrong isn’t going to change anything, whereas in a wiki if you see something wrong you can fix it yourself and add your own insight. Furthermore no one wants to carry around several text books and pages of notes and go searching through them; it’s much easier to pull up an article on this wiki, not to mention it can be accessed anywhere, anytime. For more information, see [[Korean_Wiki_Project:About|about Korean Wiki Project]].
 
<!-- 한국어 문법 패턴을 정확하게 번역할 수 있는 분들은 이 사이트에 의견을 낼 수도 있고, 글을 작성할 수도 있습니다. 한국어 책은 틀린점이 있어도 아무것도 바꿀 수 없습니다. 하지만 이 사이트에서는 틀린점을 발견하면 언제든지 수정할 수 있고 보충할 수도 있습니다. 게다가 여러 책을 찾아가면서 공부하는 수고 대신에, 이 사이트에 와서 검색하면 쉽게 찾을 수 있습니다. 언제 어디서든지 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않는다는 것은 언급할 필요도 없겠지요. <Korean wiki project>에 대한 더 많은 정보를 원하시면 [[Korean_Wiki_Project:About|여기]]를 클릭하세요. -->

As with all good wikis, we need a number of good contributors, both non-native and native speakers alike. Non-native speakers, especially those who have taken Korean classes and own various textbooks, shouldn't shy away from contributing. However, with non-native speakers contributing, not all examples and sentences will come out correctly. There are always sentences that seem good, but still sound awkward to native speakers. This is where having native speakers contributing would be extremely helpful. If you want to start contributing now, please [[Special:UserLogin|create an account]]. After creating an account, please visit the [[Getting started|getting started]] guide for more helpful information.

Newspaper icon.png Welcome

Welcome to the Korean Wiki Project! This project is a collaborative effort to unify knowledge on the Korean language and to make the information easily accessible and relevant to anyone. First, it must be noted that this site is under major construction; A lot of the articles are incomplete and have only been created for future editing. One of the goals of this project is to provide the most accurate, in-depth information and translations for Korean grammar patterns and vocabulary words where other dictionaries and books fail. Another goal is to make all information on here simple and easy to understand. As more people contribute to this project, the information becomes more accurate and better explained. For more information on this project, see the about section.

  • If you have any suggestions, ideas, or requests for this wiki, please post them on here (you do not need an account): Suggestions and Requests
  • A lot of the articles here are incomplete. If you would like to request an article to be finished, we can give it priority. To do so, just leave a comment here: Suggestions and Requests
Question orange.png Getting Started

Before attempting anything on the wiki, you should confirm that your web browser can properly display Korean characters. If you see random boxes and gibberish or Korean characters here: "안녕하세요?" then you must install Korean characters.

All of the below entries are important tasks. If you can, please contribute to these articles in any way possible to help fill in pages that have been identified as important.

Internet and text messaging
We need more work done on this page. Please add content to this page.
Sogang and Yonsei categories needed!
We already have categories up for grammar patterns that appear in the Seoul National University program in the grammar pattern section. However we need current and former Sogang and Yonsei students to categorize grammar patterns for their respective text books. For example, if you see a grammar pattern that appeared in the level 1 book of the Sogang program, add [[Category:Sogang Level 1 Grammar]] or if there is a grammar pattern in Yonsei's level 3 grammar add [[Category:Yonsei Level 3 Grammar]] to the bottom of the particular grammar page (and so on). As an example here are the categories for SNU:
Welcome template

Causative form
We need a more complete list of Causative verbs.

The grammar pages could always use more detailed or clear explanations. In fact, many of the grammar patterns still need to be defined and need examples. If you are a native speaker, please add sentence examples and explanations.

Do you know the distinction between two grammars? Please explain the difference or add more details to an already written article to help clarify some difficult similarities.

We need sentence examples for grammar pages, slang pages, proverb pages, and many others. If you are a native speaker, please visit the incomplete examples category to see which pages still need more sentence examples.
