G 2.1 Topic Particle 은/는 Vs. Subject Particle 이/가

[@올리버1349]

I wonder how Korean babies pick up this naturally.

[@theophonchana6307]

ㄴ = 는 전 = 저는 난 = 나는 넌 = 너는 건 = 것은 (거는) 이건 = 이것은 (이거는) 그건 = 그것은 (그거는) 저건 = 저것은 (저거는) 게 = 것이 이게 = 이것이 그게 = 그것이 저게 = 저것이 뭔 = 무엇은 (뭐는) 뭬 = 무엇이 (뭐가)

[@nicoleraheem1195]

Wow 😣 you're amazing

[@kijetesantakaluSokete]

감사합니다 선생님 ☺️ I haven’t had much difficulty with grammar particles, except this one. Even in my native English the subject/topic differences throws me off sometimes, but I think you’ve explained it very well.

여러분 안녕하십니까? So here are the things that I've gathered after watching SEVERAL KZbin Videos about this two particles. When I encountered it for the first time, I was soooo confused and almost gave up because it was super hard! 진짜요! And that is because particles such as 은/는 & 이/가 don't really exist in English nor in my native language😭 However, after watching so many youtube videos about this, I now have much better understanding about it (although I'm still having a hard time making sentences with this but at least I already have knowledge about it). Anyways, sorry for the long introduction hehe. So basically, we use 은/는 if we are focusing more on the TOPIC of the sentence. For example, in the sentence 정한은 예뻐요 (JEONGHAN is pretty) you are focusing more on the topic which is 정한(JEONGHAN is pretty). So another way of seeing this is asking a question like "Who is the pretty one?" "It is JEONGHAN" since it is focusing more on the topic which is JEONGHAN. On the other hand, we usually use 이/가 if we are focusing more on the subject of the sentence. So for the sentence, 정한이 예뻐요(Jeonghan is PRETTY), you are focusing on what Jeonghan is, which is pretty. Another way of seeing this is by asking, "What is Jeonghan?" Which we can answer "PRETTY". Example: 원우는 한국 사람이에요. (WONWOO is Korean.) 워우가 한국 사람이에요. (Wonwoo is KOREAN.) There is also another use for 이/가 & 은/는 which is by how specific or general your sentence is. For example, we use 이/가 if we are referring to something specific whereas we use 은/는 when we're talking about something general. So for the sentence(s): 아기가 울아요. (The baby cry.) VS. 아기는 울아요. (Babies cry) In the first sentence, 아기가 울아요, which translates to "the baby cry". You are talking about an SPECIFIC baby who could be in front of you or someone you see from the distance, crying. Basically, whenever we use 이/가 for this kind of sentence, we are referring to an SPECIFIC noun. On the other hand, for the second sentence, 아기은 울아요 (Babies cry) we are talking about something in GENERAL or something that is KNOWN BY EVERYONE. So in this sentence, we are referring to ALL the babies around the world. ALL BABIES CRY (which is a fact because all babies cry and it is also known by everyone). Key Points: 1. 이/가 - Focuses more on the topic/Being specific Examples: -디노가 나이스예요. (Dino is NICE.) -이 강아지가 진짜 예뻐요. (This dog is really cute.) Talking about an SPECIFIC dog. 2. 은/는 - Focuses more on the subject/Being general Examples: -윤 선생님은 한국 사람이에요. (TEACHER YOON is Korean.) -강아지는 예뻐요. (Dogs are cute) Talking about something in GENERAL and is not talking about an specific dog. 오어! That took me long enough hahaha I'm sorry if this is so long but I hope that whoever read this will have at least a better understanding about this particles. I'm not entirely sure if this is 100% accurate so if you think I made some mistakes, feel free to correct me. 감사합니다 여러분😊

공부를 많이 하셨네요!

[@howltae]

So the concept is. Let's start with 는 &가.😸 Look at his eg: "스티브는 미국사람이에요"( You can use "는" with "스티브" if you're talking about Steve only. But...... 😼 "가" "스티브가 미국사람이에요" You're just saying it, the focus could be American or anything else, but here you're not talking about Steve but you're just saying that : "Steve is American" And "이" You can use this after a word before "뭐(what) & 어디(where) & 좋아(like) & 싫어(hate) appears. Eg: "이름이 뭐에요"( what's your name) "이름은 정국" (Name is Jungkook)😸 See "은" here. 🐝 Did u get it??

[@nicolohonda9926]

[@howltae]

I got it 👍 thank uu 감사합니다 선생님 Edit: after watching thousands of video about this topic.

[@prasadbogahawatta2987]

,선생님은 너무 잘합니다

[@amrutaj2526]

Sir can I request to raise the volume of video as it is sometimes not audible 🙏

[@13agentcap04]

professor why is it i hear some people introduce themselves by saying imhida at the end of their name is it also correct?

[@ssandraa01]

imnida is the polite form of ieyo!! The Korean language has different sentence endings depending on how formal you need to be, e.g. if you're talking to an elder or someone who has a higher rank than you. In that case you use "im-ni-da". The more regular usage in everyday language is "i-e-yo" and then we have the most informal form which you use with friends "i-ya". They all mean "to be" or "am", just depends on who you are talking to😊 I hope this makes sense

Is it me or are you writing backwards?

[@everatliff]

Video is mirrored. In this video he writes with his left hand but actually he's right handed (you can see in other videos).
