Free Korean Sentence Analyzer
Paste a Korean sentence and see exactly how it’s built: every word, every particle, every ending, explained in plain English.
What a breakdown looks like
Here is a sentence you might write in your first months of Korean. Tap any word to see what it means and what is attached to it. The colored parts are particles and endings, the small pieces that do most of the grammar work in Korean.
On the full analyzer you also get the dictionary form of every word, romanization, the grammar patterns in the sentence with their own examples, a natural translation, and audio.
What you get for every sentence
- Word by word. Each word with its meaning, its dictionary form and its romanization.
- Particles and endings marked. See which piece makes a word the subject, the object, a place or a time.
- Grammar explained. Patterns like -고 싶다 or -아서/어서 are named and explained, with links to full guides.
- Translation and audio. A natural English translation, and the sentence read aloud.
- Save and review. Keep the words and grammar you looked up as flashcards and short reviews.
- Screenshots too. Paste an image of a text message or a subtitle and Hanbok reads the Korean for you.
How to read a Korean sentence
Korean puts the verb at the end, and it marks each word’s job with a particle stuck to its end. So 드라마를 is “drama” plus 를, which says it’s the thing being watched. Once you can split those pieces off, most sentences stop looking like one long blur. Our guide to Korean sentence structure walks through the order step by step.
The two particles that confuse learners most are the topic marker 은/는 and the subject marker 이/가. Read 은/는 vs 이/가 when you’re ready. The ending of the verb tells you how polite the speaker is being, and Korean speech levels explains which one to use.

Questions learners ask
Is the Korean sentence analyzer free?
Yes. You can break down 10 sentences a week for free, and you don't need an account to try it. Basic and Plus plans give you unlimited breakdowns.
How is this different from Google Translate or Papago?
A translator gives you a sentence back in English. Hanbok shows you how the Korean sentence works: each word with its dictionary form, what every particle and ending does, and the grammar patterns in it. You learn the sentence instead of just reading a translation.
Can I use it for K-pop lyrics and K-drama lines?
Yes. Paste any line from a song, a drama, a webtoon or a text message. Casual speech and slang are fine. Many popular songs are also already broken down line by line on the Hanbok lyrics pages.
Does it show romanization and pronunciation?
Yes. Every word comes with romanization, and you can listen to the whole sentence read aloud.
Can I save the words I look up?
Yes. Save any word or the whole sentence with one tap. Saved words become flashcards, and saved grammar points become short reviews, so the sentence you looked up today turns into practice tomorrow.
Does it work for Japanese and Chinese too?
Yes. The same analyzer breaks down Japanese and Chinese sentences, with readings like furigana and pinyin.
