  Romanized: Karen-eun

• 그 향수를
 – “그” means “that” and functions as a demonstrative adjective modifying the noun.
 – “향수” means “perfume.”

Tips for remembering:
• Subjects often have particles like “은/는.” Use “은” after nouns ending in a consonant and “는” after a vowel.
• The object marker “를/을” attaches to the noun that receives the action.
• Learn common verbs like “사용하다” and practice conjugating them into different polite forms.
• Notice word order: Subject → Object → Verb, which is typical in Korean sentences.
