《Korean Language 101》Topic Markers
Advertisement
This concept might be new to some of you but its interesting. The topic markers are the particles which are added with a noun to show what we are talking about. They are '은' and '는'.
The particle 은 is used with words ending with a consinant while 는 is used with words ending with a vowel.
For example,
저는 - I
너는 - You
나는 - I
커피는 - the coffee
밥은 - the meal/rice
좋은 - is good
우산은 - the umbrella (우산 - umbrella)
Now how to use in sentences?
저는 말코예요.
Marco.
저는 미나예요.
Mina.
저는 학생이에요.
a student.
저는 선생님이에요.
a teacher.
저는 지수의 엄머니예요.
Jisu's mother.
We have a different case here,
오늘은 저는 영화 볼거예요.
Today will watch a movie.
In this exmple, the topic is "Today" but its "I" who will watch a movie, not "Today". Therefore we add the topic particle to 저 as well.
The topic markers are also used to emphasize or highlight a certain point of the topic. A few examples are,
이거는 싫어요.
I hate/dislike/don't want one.
그거는 예뻐요.
one is pretty.
오늘 날씨 좋네요.
Today the weather is good.
오늘은 날씨 좋네요.
the weather is good.
오늘은 날씨는 좋네요.
Today, the is good.
은/는 are used in the means of the noun being "unique" among others or "different".
These are not used in every other sentence just like WE DON'T EMPHASIZE EVERY SINGLE THING THE WAY I AM DOING RIGHT NOW COZ ITS ANNOYING. So we seldom use these particles. But they're used a lot in the form:
저는
너는
나는
당싱은
이거는
저거는
그거는
여기는
저기는
거기는
Okay? Okay.
That's it for today,
안녕~ 다음에 봐요♡

Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?
