Let's use another verb : 오다 = (oda) to come 
 오 + ㅏ = 와 (wa)


<img src="https://elonstorage.blob.core.windows.net/file/1020636.jpg" alt="syllable block 36" />
We will tackle three character blocks later. Just memorize this one.
 For the pronunciation : o-a melts into wa 
It is pretty logical. Try to say very quickly ' o-a o-a o-a' and you will automatically say 'wa wa wa.
와요 = (wayo) I come (= You come, he comes...)

바에 와요. ( pa-e wayo.) I come to the pub. ( = You come to the pub. / He comes to the pub...) 
바다에 와요. ( pada-e wayo.) I come to the sea. (= You come to the sea. / He comes to the sea...)

보다 behaves the same way as oda . When we add yo it turns into 봐요 pwayo.





<img src="https://elonstorage.blob.core.windows.net/file/1020637.jpg" alt="syllable block 37" />
 to see something requires that I transform this something into an object. e.g. 바다 (pada) the sea needs a suffix attached to it, if I want to see it.
There are 2 options: 을 (eul) and 를 (reul)
 으 = eu (uh) is the last vowel lacking in our list. Like 'i' it can't take an extra line (y).
 Also take note of the two different pronunciations of the letter ㄹ. At the beginning of the syllable it is r at the end it is l (reul).

<ul>
 <li>Words ending in a consonant take 을 (eul) </li>
 <li>Words ending in a vowel take 를 (reul)</li>
</ul>
 Actually we only have learned words ending in vowels up till now and this for a very simple reason: The Number 2 in a syllable block is always a vowel. In order to end with a consonant we need bigger blocks.
So let's build our objects:
바 + 를 = 바를 (pareul) the bar
바다 + 를 = 바다를 (padareul) the sea
나비 + 를 = 나비를 (nabireul) the butterfly
비 + 를 = 비를 (pireul) the rain
Now we can build sentences:
<ul>
 <li>바를 봐요. (Pa-reul pwayo.) I see the bar.</li>
 <li>바다를 봐요. (Padareul pwayo.) I see the sea. (= Do you see the sea? - By raising our voice in the end we can make this even a question.)</li> 
 <li>나비를 봐요 (Nabireul pwayo) I see the butterfly.</li>
 <li>비를 봐요. (Pireul pwayo.) I see the rain.</li>
 <li>바나나를 봐요. (Pananareul pwayo.) I see the banana.</li>
</ul>

Question	Answer
The couple comes to the pub.	부부 바에 와요.bubu ba-e wayo. pu-bu pa-e wa-yo. This sentence is not quite clear. It could also mean 'I come to the couple bar', whatever that might be. In order to be precise, we should add a topic marker -는 /- neun to our couple. 부부는 pubuneun. Meaning: here is our couple. We are going to talk about them now, and the following is about what they are doing... A second option would have been to add a subject marker to our couple. -가/ -ga 부부가 pubuga. Meaning the couple is the actor in this sentences. They do the verb (which is coming). All the rest is additional information. Anyway which ever you choose, they would separate our couple from the word pub... You might not figure out the difference between the two markers yet. That is a whole new concept that we are going to handle later. Just let me tell you this. The topic is not always the same as the subject. We could be talking about the topic 'pub'. Who all is coming to the pub? Who are the clients in this pub? - Ah , the couple is coming to the pub. The couple is still the subject of the verb (coming). Though we are talking about the bar, it is not the bar which is coming...So our sentence would be: 부부가 바에는 와요. pubuga pa-e-neun wayo. Anyway that was bonus information :D Don't go around adding markers to every word you say...:D No one does. Just keep that information as, I-have-heard-that-such-thing-exists in the back of your mind.
I see.	봐요bwayo pwa-yo
Which character is romanized as eu?	ㅡ
I see the sea.	바다를 봐요.badareul bwayo. pa-da-reul pwa-yo.
Do you see the bridge?	다리를 봐요?darireul bwayo? ta-ri-reul pwa-yo.
The couple sees the ship.	부부 배를 봐요.bubu baereul bwayo. Pu-bu pae-reul pwa-yo. 부부는 /부부가 배를 봐요. In this sentence I strongly recommend a marker, as Google translates it to : Look at the couple's belly! :D - Google has a point there... 배 has 3 meanings: pear, belly, ship...
Come to the bridge!	다리에 와요!darie wayo! Ta-ri-e wa-yo.
The sea is coming.	바다 와요.bada wayo. Pa-da wa-yo.
Come to the tree!	나무에 와요!namue wayo!
Look at the banana!	바나나를 봐요!bananareul bwayo! Pa-na-na-reul pwa-yo.
Do you see the soap?	비누를 봐요?binureul bwayo? Pi-nu-reul pwa-yo.
