The English is put underneath these examples so you can see the word order explicitly.

Note that there is no need for a subject marker on an “exists” sentence. When we use the “doesn’t exist” verb, though, we must put in a subject marker. Thus, to say, “There is no kimch’i (김치 ),” we say this:
| 김치가 | 없습니다 |
| kimch’i | is not |
