ABSTRACT
The direct object refers to a noun that experiences the action indicated by the verb. In English the direct object of the sentence is typically determined by the place where it appears. For instance, the direct object of the sentence “I eat steak” is “steak,” as the word “steak” appears after the verb “eat.” In Korean, however the direct object is primarily determined by the direct object particle 㦚V⯒. Just like the subject particle, the direct object particle 㦚V⯒ is a two-form case particle: 㦚 is used when the preceding noun ends in a consonant, and ⯒ is used when the preceding noun ends in a vowel.
