잘 보고 있습니다. "은/는" 과 "이/가" 는 다음과 같은 개념을 설명하면 대부분의 모든 문장에 적용되리라 확신합니다. "은/는"은 안(음)을 향하는 방향성(주체)이 있습니다. 나는 집에 있다(나) 나는 너가 집에 있길 바란다(나(너--->))

I started learning like 2 or 3 days ago and I'm already happy with the results. I'm able to read (obv), create basic present sentences like "I ate breakfast" and I will continue learning because Korean is actually fun to study.

As a Korean teacher, the difference between 은/는 and 이/가 always is one of the most frequently asked and challening questions. I can see you put so much time and effort to prepare for this lesson video! I’m sure learners can use it as a class at home. 👍🏻

My friend told me that possibly the best explanation for beginner Korean learners is: -when 이/가 is used, the important part of the sentence is before the 이/가, -when 은/는 is used, the important part of the sentence is after the 은/는. It is a complex grammar structure so learning when to use the right one by intuition may take some time because you need to practise a lot through context but still, I wish most beginner textbooks would contain an explanation like yours! It's perfect because it gives you a very good, basic understanding of what both particles do in most cases without getting you confused right off at the start. 빅키선생님 감사합니다! 잘했습니다.

Didn’t read everything 😅 but on the top you have “I am Korean”, but in Korean you wrote: “저는 한국입니다”. This means I am Korea, so you’re saying you’re the country, but you want to say you have korean nationality. So you should write it like this; “저는 한국인입니다”. The difference is that here I put “인” between “한국” and “입니다”. I hope this helped!

I feel like there are genuine conceptual differences, ways that a Korean speaker will think of things due to this language that a English speaker wouldn't. Understanding those other ways of thinking is a major benefit of learning another language.

As a native English speaker, I really appreciate how you clarified the usage of these particles. I already got the hang of it part, but you filled in the gaps and made it even clearer. Thanks.

Hi, I stumbled over this video by chance and just want to tell you that your way of explaining is very helpful. And you're right when saying that one has to get a feeling for a language, it really helps. The more I listen and practice the easier it gets. 😊

I’m so glad that I’ve found this channel. I was completely lost and frustrated that I couldn’t understand how the subject/topic marking particles works. You broke it down very easily and the examples you gave really helped me out. Now I just have to keep practicing and hopefully it will come naturally. I am totally subscribing because you are just amazing. Thank you again 😊

This is the most understandable explanation i am looking for. Good job!

I'm really thankful to have found you! You explain things to the point I understand clearly!

I cannot thank you enough for this video!!! I watch your videos alongside the course that I’m taking so I’m not just learning from one place, and my course explained it pretty well but I still wasn’t fully grasping the material, and I remembered seeing the title of this video when looking through your channel and I’m so glad I decided to watch it to get your explanation!! It’ll still take some practice, but your video laid everything out so plainly, and made me actually understand what I read in my course. Thank you Miss Vicky!! I’m definitely going to watch this over and over to really nail it 💜💜

Thank you, thank you, thank you so so much. This has helped me so much with learning Korean. I was always so confused with these subject marking particles but now you have helped ease my understanding with it and I thank you for that. I really hope other people who's learning Korean can understand subject marking particles by watching this video. Once again, thank you for such an amazing video.

So important to know the particles😊 Great explanations 빅키쌤💕👍

This is amazing!!! Since I started learning Korean, and among the hundred explanations i heard about this topic, this one is the one that clarified it the best. I am glad youtube recommended you to me. I´m subscribing for sure :D maybe you´ll help me clarify more grey points in my korean learning process!

The quizzes were really helpful! You’re such a great teacher, Thank you so much!

this is great! thank you so much for this! I started learning Korean a long time ago (~3 years ago, but to be truthful I haven't been studying too hard) and never understood when to use these particles. I knew the basics, but I had lots of questions that were answered with this video! I still don't get it 100% but I'm definitely better off now than I was before. Again, thank you!

This is the first lesson I’ve had that’s actually made subject marking particles make some sort of sense, thank you!

Oh, thank you so much!!! Your videos are super clear and the examples you give really help a lot 😊

You are the best!! I kept on being so confused on this, I'm so glad you put a lot of work into this, I learned a lot from this❤️

I’ve literally been watching videos all night trying to understand this and this had been the only video that even mentioned the various contexts you use each particle in. I definitely have a better grasp on it now. Funnily enough when I was learning Spanish I had the same issues with using soy vs estar because they depend on the context of the sentence rather than a rigid grammar rule lol

Absolutely awesome explanation and examples. I just took the lesson on this subject on Talk To Me In Korean and was still very confused about it and this cleared pretty much everything up. Thank you, Vicky!

*Jin makes it a known fact that he's handsome* XD

Am really really grateful to have found you because i was going crazy about the particles and their usage and no video has helped me better than yours. Thank you so much💜

Hello Miss Vicky. Thank you for this super helpful video. I have a question - How would you generally decide when to drop particles at times? I have been told that sometimes my sentences seem unnatural when I use them all the time.

Soooo helpful!!! Amazing explanations. You're the first person that has made it much clearer for me to differentiate!

These tutorials are very useful. Thanks for organizing their content so well!

You're teaching style is really good. I understood many things today and i'll study more and maybe someday, i will become fluent in Korean. Thank you for teaching 😊❤👍

i am currently in the middle of the video and i just noticed that, when the question has "은/는", the answer would be "은/는" as well. it's the same with "이/가". 17:34 the question is "너 오늘 뭐했어?" so i thought "hm, it is 너 written here... so it should be '너'는'' it's just that 는 is being omitted here. so the answer would be '나는'." i don't know if my way of thinking is correct in this type of context, but i happened to be right with my answer. i thought also that the answer would be "내가" if the question was "네가 오늘 뭐했어?". 선생님 please tell me if my way of thinking is correct 😊

Hello, Shixunie It's extremely easy to pick the right subject marker in questions. It is based on what you are interested in knowing. If you are asking about WHO, use 이 or 가. In all other cases, such as asking about WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW, and WHY, then use 은 or 는. Too simple, right? Let's look at the question, "너 오늘 뭐했어?" It's about WHAT you did today. So, the right subject marker is '는' 너는 오늘 뭐했어? or 너 오늘 뭐했어? More example sentences asking WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW, and WHY. Where did you go yesterday? (너는 어제 어디에 갔니?) When (or What time) did you come back home? (너는 언제 집에 돌아 왔니?) How did you get there? (너는 어떻게 거기에 갔니?) Why did you go there? (너는 거기에 왜 갔니?) The only time you use '이' or '가' is when you ask about WHO. Did Mike make this cake? (이 케잌 마이크가 만들었니?) Who told you to bring this? (누가 이거 가지고 오라고 그랬어?) Who did the dishes? (누가 설겆이를 했어요) Let's practice! During the recess, you cleaned the blackboard while others were chitchatting. Your teacher comes in and asks "Oh, who cleaned the blackboard?" Question #1: Which one is the right sentence that is translated into Korean? a. 저는 칠판을 닦았어요. b. 제가 칠판을 닦았어요. The answer is b. Although both are translated into "I cleaned the blackboard" in English, b is the right sentence that answers the question, meaning it is ME who cleaned the blackboard. If the teacher asks what other students were doing while you are cleaning the blackboard, the question should be: 네(가) 칠판 닦는 동안, 다른 학생들(은) 뭐하고 있었니? While you were cleaning the blackboard, what were other students doing? 제가 칠판 닦는 동안, 다른 애들은 잡담하고 있었어요. While I was cleaning the blackboard, they were chit-chatting. So, when the action doer is emphasized, use 은 or 는, otherwise use 이 or 가. Bonus question!! What if the teacher asks you what you were doing while other students was chitchatting? Which one is the right question? a. 다른 학생들이 잡담하는 동안 네가 뭐하고 있었니? b. 다른 학생들이 잡담하는 동안 너는 뭐하고 있었니? The right sentence is b because the question is about WHAT, not WHO.

late reply, but yes! generally, a trick to finding out which subject markers you should use is by using the one that was used in the question. for example, “누 *가* 케이크를 먹었어요?” “Who ate the cake?” 가 was the particle used in the question, and 가 (or 이) is the particle you use to respond with. “제 *가* 케이크를 먹었어요.” “ _I_ ate the cake.” Another example, “너 *는* 오늘 뭐 했어?” “What did you do today?” 는 was the particle used in the question, and 는 (or 은) is the particle you use to respond with. “나 *는* 오늘 일했어.” “I worked today.” As for what you asked in regards to if the question was, “네가 오늘 뭐 했어?” You would in fact respond with 내가. The 가 attached to 너 emphasizes that subject, making the meaning of the question more like “What did _you_ _in_ _particular_ do today?” or “What did _you_ do today (as opposed to what others may have done)?” 가 emphasizes “you”, and as a result will emphasize “I” when you respond. “내가 쇼핑을 갔어.” “ _I_ went shopping today.” Listening out for particles used in the question can help you with knowing which one to respond with, however don’t rely on this. This is because, as you said, sometimes particles are omitted, meaning you won’t be able to tell which one to use if it wasn’t used in the question to begin with. Also, sometimes you will be faced with questions that will have multiple subject particles in, which can cause confusion for you if you’re solely depending on the ones used in the question to help with your answer. It’s best to just learn the different uses yourself!

This was like a marathon!!, very useful. Many thanks.

Thank you so much! This is so detailed and very clear I couldn't have asked for a better explanation! :)

은는이가는 정말 한국인들에게도 어려워요. 우린 모르고 그냥 쓸 뿐이죠..
