Translating English to Korean: what to know
Subject Particles and Topic Markers
Korean requires particles after subjects and topics that don't exist in English. Use 이/가 for subjects performing actions and 은/는 for topics or contrasts. Omitting these particles makes sentences sound incomplete or confusing. The choice between topic and subject markers changes emphasis and meaning, not just grammar. English speakers often forget these entirely or use them interchangeably.
Verb-Final Word Order Required
Korean follows strict Subject-Object-Verb order, placing verbs at sentence end. English's Subject-Verb-Object pattern cannot transfer directly. All modifiers, including entire clauses, must precede what they modify. Questions, negations, and tenses are marked at the verb ending, not with separate words before the verb. Maintaining English word order produces incomprehensible Korean sentences.
Honorific Speech Levels Are Mandatory
Korean has six grammatical speech levels that English lacks entirely. You must choose appropriate verb endings based on listener's age, social status, and relationship. The casual 반말 versus polite 존댓말 distinction affects every sentence. Using wrong levels causes serious social offense. English formality through word choice doesn't map to Korean's grammatical honorific system embedded in verb conjugations.

What does the “Meaning kept” score mean?
After each translation, a second AI check compares the original and the translation and scores how closely the meaning survived (100 = same meaning). Below 90 you'll see a warning — double-check names, numbers and negations. The check processes your text and immediately discards it; only the score is kept.
