《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♡

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
