Korean Grammar: Topic Particle 은,는

Hello, I'm Jin from Just Korean. Today, I'm going to learn about the subject investigation, which is the first thing you learn in grammar. First, I'm going to learn about the subject investigation. Because this is not a subject investigation, but a subject investigation. What is subject investigation? Let's take an example. Younghee is a student. The subject is important. Younghee's job is important. Younghee is a student. How can you tell the difference? Think about the question about the answer. Younghee is a student. The question at this time is, What is Younghee's job? I'm going to ask like this. Younghee is a student. So the subject here is a job. So I'm focusing on the student. Then I'll see you in the next video. How about this? This is a subject. I'm focusing on the subject. In this case, who is a student? Who is focusing on the subject here? Who? So Younghee is a student. I'm going to answer like this. So which one are you focusing on? This is different. When do you use 은? If the word ends with a consonant, We use 은. If the word ends with a vowel, We use 는. Let's look at an example. This is the word we're going to use in today's example. Let's look at it together before we look at the example. Then let's look at the example. I go to the mountain. What's important here? It's important to go to the mountain. I'm focusing on this. Going to the mountain is the subject. So I go to the mountain. Second, the restaurant is closed. The restaurant is closed. It's important to close the door here. This is the subject. So the restaurant is closed. That's what I'm saying. Third, Yuna is always cool. Yuna is always cool. Here, the subject is 멋져요. So Yuna is always cool. You can say that. Fourth, I'm so tired. I'm so tired. The subject is 피곤하다. So I'm so tired. I put 은,는 like this. Do you understand? So 은,는 is used for more general sentences or sentences that emphasize the subject. And there's a special case. There is also a limited meaning of 그것만. In English, when you say only, just, you can use 은,는. That's a special case. Let's take an example. 고양이는 좋아해요. This sentence means that only cats like it. Then, 고양이는 좋아해요. But other animals don't like it. It has this meaning. So except for those cases, you can think of it as focusing on the subject. Then, let's practice together. Put 은,는 in the sentence I give you. 경주 is beautiful. What's in here? 경주는 아름다워요. Second, 산 높아요. What's in this case? 산은 높아요. It goes like this. Let's summarize today's grammar. First, how do you use 은,는? Behind the vowel is 는, and behind the consonant is 은. Second, what does it mean? What does it mean? It represents the subject. The subject rather than the subject. So it represents the subject. And there's a special case. It has a limited meaning. Today, we learned about the subject of 은,는. If you have any more questions, please leave a comment. Then I'll see you again in the next video. Just Korean. Goodbye.
