here is an elaborate explanation for the 가/이 part: this is a subject marker, you can use it if the subject is in relation with the verb or an adjective. It answer the questions, "who is the doer of the action?" and "Who/What is being described?" Example: "꽃이 예뻐다." "The flower is pretty." What is being described in the sentence: Flower/꽃 Meaning it is the subject of the sentence therefore, Flower/꽃 is the word that will have i/이 at the end. Another example: "누가 사과를 먹었어?" "수빈이." "Who ate the apple?" "Soobin." What is asked in the question: Who was the doer of the verb/action? Soobin was the doer of the verb/action so the particle i/이 is added. i hope this was easy to understand. if you guys have more questions please feel free to ask
It's like a topic marker :) 는for the subject of the sentence and 를 as the object of the verb, adjective or the sentence itself. I understand your explanation really well. Thanks a lot. You are really good!
It is a very deep topic that takes years to master, the nuances of 는/은 & 가/이. It comes with time from studying and reading and getting used to the differences. When I first started and learned the difference, it helped to think of 는 as meaning: “as for .....” example: 사과는 내가 좋아해. As for apples, I like them. Imagine it as an invisible sign above the conversation, and whatever is 는 is the topic of the conversation. Some verbs can only be used with certain particles, but you just have to memorize and get used to them. Sometimes it can be used for more generalized statements, but it can be difficult to explain. The most I can say is just to continue studying and it will come with time. Just as he says, it might be too confusing to explain all of the details. I’ve been studying two years and it’s just now starting to click, but I have a long way to go! Keep it up.
From what my mind told me, I think it's about the part is emphasizes? For example, 은/는 is used when you just talk about something and I think it's like "is/am/are" in a sentence while 이/가 is used when you talk about an action/situation that could have many things as the subject, thus you need to emphasize the subject is the subject you're using, not other things(?). For example 머리가 앞으다 -> there might be other part of your body that hurts, but it is your head that is hurting now.
I speak Japanese too and I think that ''neun'' and ''eun'' are like the は particle in Japanese and ''reul'' and ''eul'' are like を particle in Japanese...
Hi, I really like the simple way you use explain some points. I am learning Korean and my teacher told me that 는is subject particle (or subject ending word) and 를is object particle (object word). There are some other subject and object ending words when the preceding word ends with batchim or not... but that would be too advance for now. Keep it up the good job.
I have taken several online classes & have been learning & YOU really broke things down perfectly for me.. & addressed things in a way no other teacher has thus far. So im glad i stumbled upon your classes. Each B.K. class so far has REALLY helped !! THANKS!!!
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into every video. I started using your videos as a learning tool since last week. Starting from the very first video
These videos are awesome. They explain a lot that is missing in many other videos/language programs in a very succinct manner. Keep it up. Also, 4:10 made me laugh. :D
I want to tell you something as a beginner myself because of you I understood 3 sentences in a row Liek wow The feeling is just soo great I can't express it THANK YOU SO SO SOOOOOOOO MUCH I PURPLE YOU A LOT 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Maybe try to find someone who has similar hobbies, or take some some classes (maybe some sports or art classes), or try to communicate while you're getting haircut or something like that... Well, I don't know... Just some suggestions :)
simone wallace 나 means either "I" or "me", if the word "나" is attached by "는" then "나" becomes a subject, and if the word "나" is attached by "를" then "나" becomes an object.
Hi ..First really appreciate and love your work .Second I was curious that though I am learning quite well from your videos I have to give EPS TOPIK test soon.How well be your videos helpful .Suggestions plz. Thanks a lot.👍
To be honest, I don't really know much about EPS TOPIK, but what I can tell you is don't get too much pressure and try to get used to the language.Check yourself to know which part is your weakness like reading, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, etc. and work on improving your weakness. Good luck with your test, Muhammad!
This was such an epiphany! I am really having a hard time with sentence structure especially when the sentences get longer like in a news article. Thank u so much!
I also saw that "누나는 내가 누나를 걱정한다는 것을 알까?" As "does sister know what is the thing that I'm worrying about her?" But this is very different with "does she know that I'm concerning about her?" So I had a mental breakdown with this one too 😣
These particle things are very confusing and I admit these examples are difficult for beginners. And even when you learn about this subject, you will face so many cases of exceptions, so possibly, just understanding in a big picture (I mean not to go deeper about it at the beginning) and you will get it gradually by getting use to Korean sentences as time goes by might be a better way.
So the 는 suffix = subject; the 를= Object, as long as you remember it should be the word order = Subject, Object, Verb (whereas in English it’s Subject Verb Object)
OMG I DIDN'T GET THE GRAMMAR, THERE WAS LOOK SAME AT THE SAME TIME. IT'S REALLY HARD😭 But, thanks, you teach me sonsaengnim. Apa kabar dari Indonesia 💗
Wow these subject/object particles don't necessarily tag the things we would consider subjects and objects in English. Nevertheless, this video was very helpful and enlightening. 고맙습니다! :)
Conversational Korean yeah! for example in turkish we say ''Senden hoşlanıyorum'' for ''I like you''. Sen means you and when you add -den it points the person whom you like. Sen-den, neo-reul. If you put -den to the word ben(me) then it means you like me. Sen benden hoşlanıyorsun. :)
Personally I think 을/를 , 은/는 , 그리고 이/가 are really hard for me to understand. Maybe it’s just me though. I can’t really determine the subject of a sentence that well and I’m in Grade 11 so that doesn’t make it any better😅 Yeah TTMIK and Conversational Korean really help a lot and Duolingo isn’t the app you should use if you’re first learning Korean.
I swear even after watching this, im still a bit confused, can someone tell me how "sister/nuna" has "를" on it when it isn't even a subject? Do they have to be specifically the particle in order to use that particle or does it depend? Because those always confuse me. Same goes for the rest of the particles... >.
