Adjectives come in two forms in Korean. In their main form, they are inflected like verbs (i.e. with honorifics, tense, and speech levels) and come at the end of their sentence or clause.
- 붉다: "(to be) red"
- 푸르다: "(to be) blue"
- 크다: "(to be) big"
- 작다: "(to be) small"
Adjectives also have a "attributive" form that ends in ㄴ (often 은). Grammatically, adjectives in this form are
관형사 ("determiners"), which always come
before the noun they modify.
- 붉은: "red"
- 푸른: "blue"
- 큰: "big"
- 작은: "small"
