Articles, gender + plural

Korean has none of the three; Portuguese needs o/a/os/as and adjective agreement on nearly every noun: "as casas brancas".

Word order (SOV→SVO)

Korean is verb-final; Portuguese puts the verb after the subject: "eu comi arroz", not "eu arroz comi".

ser vs estar

Korean 이다 covers both; Portuguese splits "to be" — ser for identity/permanent, estar for state/location. Learn the split as new grammar, not vocabulary.

Gender + agreement

Articles and adjectives agree: o livro vermelho / a casa vermelha.

ser = permanent/identity; estar = temporary/state.
