Some verbs have a noun and a verb form, in this case it will be written like this: noun form(하다 or another verb ending) with the first definition being the noun form and the second usually being the verb form. If the noun form has a Chinese character, then it will be noun form(하다 or another verb ending) <Chinese character>. Note the Chinese characters correspond to the noun or the stem of the verb and also you can click on the Chinese characters to explore their respective vocabulary page. If you are confused about the whole Chinese character thing, check out the section [[Hanja]].

| 선택 is the noun form (choice, selection).<br>선택하다 is the verb form (to choose, to select)<br>선 = 選, 택 = 擇
|-
|도망(치다) <[[逃]][[亡]]> - escape, to escape
|도망 is the noun form (escape). <br>도망치다 is the verb form (to escape).<br>도 = 逃, 망 = 亡
|-
| 육개장 <[[肉]]―[[醬]]> - the name of a Korean spicy beef stew
| If there are dashes before or after the Chinese characters, then that means there is no Chinese character representation for it. In this case 개 is not derived from a Chinese character and has no representation, so it has a ― in it's place. Do not confuse ― for [[一]])

We need people to make the vocabulary pages very in depth and informative. For example, if there are multiple Korean words for one English word, state the difference, which one is used more, whether it's formal or informal (etc).

Some basic ways to contribute:
*Proofread the pages we already have and check for mistakes.
*Add more examples to our [[:Category:Chinese_Roots|Chinese roots]] section.
*Each [[:Category:Chinese_Roots|Chinese roots]] page should have all it's hanja characters on it's page. If there are some missing, please add the missing characters. For example there are 5 character representations for [[입]], if the page only had 入, 立, 笠, then you could add the other two characters 粒, 卄 on [[입]]'s page. Some characters can have 40+ representations. If you don't know any examples for that character, it's fine, just leave it there and let someone else add an example in the future.

You can find all the information needed to create or edit vocabulary pages here.

Please remember, we are NOT looking to become a dictionary. We have therefore decided not to create a comprehensive vocabulary list. Instead, we focus on learning vocabulary in context where it will be useful. Rather than individual vocabulary pages, we focus on subjects. If here complicated words, or similar words that need more in depth explanation, add the to [[Category:Individual words|individual words]] category.

*Please link the Chinese characters in the <> brackets. We have decided to no longer to link the Korean words. Also do not capitalize the first word after the dash unless it needs to be.
:For example: 입구 <[[入]][[口]]> - entrance
