A significant part of the article is devoted to the research of the specifics of the Korean language’s grammatical structure with a focus on: the principle of constructing simple and complex sentences; differences in using dative and locative cases, verbs of movement’s direction, constructions of impossibility to perform an action for subjective and objective reasons, the principle of using three variants of subordinate clauses of purpose; constructing an indirect question and subordinate additional clauses, using “Korean” and “Chinese” numerals and the system of big data. The article also presents an analysis of a special orientation of politeness’ category, which has several levels and is expressed in verb endings, suffixes and polite equivalents for a number of nouns.
