There is no such thing as articles in Korean. It also lacks prepositions, but it does have particles which play basically the same role. It doesn't have a single word for "because" as well, you use verbal endings to indicate reason, consequence, etc. I advise you to learn how to conjugate verbs in the present tense before learning how to use other endings. Korean lacks third person pronouns (he, she, it) too. You simply say "That girl", "This person", "That guy" or even just the person's name. It is also considered impolite to call someone by their names if they are older than you or are not close to you, that's why words like "oppa" (오빠) and "eonni" (언니) exist. Call girls older than you "언니" and boys, "오빠" even if you are not blood-related. Use it as if it meant "you". As for the other words, they are:
왜 (wae) = why
언제 (eon-je) = when
어디 (eo-di) = where
저 (jeo) = I (me) - polite
나 (na) = I (me) - casual
너 (neo) = You - casual, it is offensive if you use it to someone older than you.
당신 (dang-sin) = You - polite, considered awkward and sarcastic. Use the person's name + 씨 to call them if they are strangers or simply 오빠 or 언니, in your case.
