The first adjectives
Big and small, hot and cold, cheap and expensive, and the other words for describing things.
A Korean adjective is a verb: it already contains the “is”, so 커요 on its own means “it is big”, and it takes the same endings as any verb. That is why they are listed here as “to be …”. Many of them change their stem before an ending that starts with a vowel — 춥다 becomes 추워요 — and those are marked below.
