Do You Have Any Tips For Retaining Information?? I’m Studying Japanese But I Feel Like I’m Not Absorbing

Grammar Lesson 4: 이/가 vs.는/은

안녕하세요! 환영합니다~

Hello! Welcome~ ⚠️CAUTION⚠️ Grab your pencils and papers! There’s a lot of info ahead!

This is a big struggle for Korean language learners and so, I decided to cover this confusing topic. I haven’t formally taught the particles ‘이/가’ because they have a similar function as ‘는/은’ BUT there are some differences that I will cover below!

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message or leave a reply down below! Happy studying~

┌─                ･｡ﾟ: ∘◦☾◦｡ﾟ.                    ─┐

     L e s s o n   4  :  이/가 vs.는/은

└─                 ･｡ﾟ: ∘◦☾◦｡ﾟ.                   ─┘

는/은 is a particle that indicates which part of the sentence is a subject. Add 는 after the object if the last letter of the last syllable is a vowel and 은 if the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant.

e x a m p l e s :

Vowel: 그 옷은 비싸다. (That clothing is expensive.)

Consonant: 나는 예쁘다. (I am pretty.)

Add 가 after the object if the last letter of the last syllable is a vowel and 이 if the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant.

e x a m p l e s :

Vowel: 주스가 맛있다 (The juice is tasty.)

Consonant: 가방이 크다. (The bag is big.)

이/가 are subject particles that answer/ask who, what, and/or which.  Let me explain: If Person A asks:

A: “누가 먹었어요?” (Who ate it?)

 We use 가 because the person is asking who ate it. 

Let’s see what Person B answers Person A:

A: “누가 먹었어요?”  (Who ate it?)

B: “제가요.” (I did.)

BUT, what if Person C says:

C: “저는 안 먹었어요.” (I didn’t eat it.)

By using  저는 instead of 제가,  Person C shows CONTRAST, EMPHASIS, and DISTIGUISHMENT compared to Person B who said that they ate it. 는/은 differentiates his/her idea with Person C. 

And…that’s it! Congrats, you made it to the end! 축하해요! 🎉🎉

P.S. What do you guys think of the new color theme?

some maths notes! i was inspired by one of my friend’s minimalistic Cornell notes so i decided to try this style out :)

personally, maths notes have to be very minimalistic otherwise it gets way too confusing 😓 i only need the bare bones of what to remember! i have fun with brush pens and colours in subjects like bio and geo ;)

I loveee ittt.

just like it’s important that we let people embrace and be flamboyant with their gender, we must allow people to have gender be a nonimportant part of their identity. a cis woman can love being feminine and claim her womanhood loud and proud, just like another cis woman can just be ‘whatever’ about it. a trans woman can be hyperfeminine and proud, while another can just say ‘yeah i’m a woman’ without it being a gigantic deal to her. a non-binary person doesn’t have to be constantly torn up about their gender identity to be non-binary. all experiences of gender are unique and valid in their own way.
