The structure of the Korean language is SOV (subject object verb). For example, if I were to say "My name is Timaj" in romanization, it would be "che (my) irim-i (name) timaj (object) imnida (is)." The verb it-da means to exist, but in this instance, we are using it to introduce ourselves. We can also use it to say "there is" after being asked "What's in the room?"
I think a reference grammar would be useful for the Korean language because often times, it doesn't directly translate in a way that makes sense in English. Because of this, it may be difficult for English speaking learners to understand why a certain verb is being used. For instance, in the example I used above, it wouldn't make sense in English to say "My name exists Timaj." However, that is the literal translation. Ultimately, I don't think a reference book is necessary, but it may be helper for some learners who want to know the explanations and translations of certain sentence structures.
