《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♡

With motivation to become the best blacksmith in the world, he seeks to become a disciple of the Bridge Village's best blacksmiths, only to be kicked out of all of them. He soon finds himself roaming the streets aimlessly on an empty stomach, jobless, peniless and homeless. After hiding himself in an alley when night fell, the reality finally catches up to him - he was truly alone. Yet, morning come, he is greeted by a knee of an old man who, after beating him for sleeping in the old man's 'backyard', takes him in. Finally being given a helping hand, he clutches tightly onto it, becoming the old man's disciple and learning the ways of the crafting, naturally while flirting with the old man's wife in his free time.
