Guess that describes the langblr community pretty well 😄
This lesson is suitable for beginners! I tried my best to give the simplest version for everything. Some words have more usages, etc… but I felt these are most important for beginner learners.
누구 - Who
Conjugation: To emphasize “who” as the subject, you would use the subject marker 가. 가 is used instead of 이 since 누구 ends in a vowel. When adding 가 to 누구, it becomes 누가. Remember this is only for emphasis.
Examples:
뭐 - What
Conjugation: Particles are not typically attached to 뭐.
Examples:
어디 - Where
Conjugation: Although not always necessary, location marking particles -에 and -에서 can be added to make the sentence more clear. The location marking particles are directly attached to the noun. -에 expresses a location where something is, or the direction you a going toward. For example, 집에 가요 - I’m going home. -에서 expresses a location where an action is taking place. For example, 사무실에서 일해요 - I work at the office. These particles aren’t always attached to 어디, however I wanted to include them since the are helpful for responses, asking questions, etc…
Examples:
언제 - When
Conjugation: “Particles like -부터 and -까지, which are often used to indicate from/until when something happens can be attached to 언제 to indicate that it is unknown “from/until when” something happens.” For example, 언제부터 한국어를 공부했어요? - Since when have you been studying Korean? Note that these particles are not required and 언제 can be used alone.
Examples:
왜 - Why
Conjugation: 왜 is an adverb and doesn’t always have a specific location in the sentence, however it is typically placed first.
Examples:
어떻게- How
Conjugation: 어떻게 is an adverb and does not have a specific location in the sentence. It can be used to asked questions in past, present or future tense.
Examples:
얼마 - How much (usually for money)
Examples:
얼마나 - How (followed by adjective/adverb)
Examples:

i sent this meme to my old ling professor and he made the single greatest joke in the universe that is completely inaccessible to most of the population and its killing me
i have no idea what this says but the fact that it’s apparently hilarious if you have the right linguistic context is delightful.
