Nothing is more annoying than feeling like you know a lot, but then a conversations happens and you end up having no idea how to actually speak. This is mostly because you learn grammar points, and random vocabulary. Now it’s time to connect the two! How? Simple! Below are three English conversations, now it’s your turn to translate them. You can switch it up with other subjects, verbs, anything! 즐겁게 공부하세요!

Agent: Yes, there are. Jane: Good. Are there any chairs in here? Agent: No, there aren’t, but there are some in the living room. Jane: Hmm. There aren’t any glasses! Agent: Yes, there are! They’re in the cupboard. Jane: …and …er… where’s the toilet?

Hello ^^ I'd love to ask about the subject/topic particles. So for a sentence like 'I'll go to your house', should it be written as '나는 너의 집에 갈 거야" or '내가 너의 짚에 갈 거야'? And so I read on some sites that 내가 means 'I am', so can it be used for sentences which have the same structure (I am...) like in English? Thank you so much for answering ~

Hi! I watched this really great in-depth video about particles by Miss Vicky since I too often get confused with particles. In short, both sentences are correct, but you would have to choose which to use depending on the context. I recommend watching the whole video to learn about this, but I’ll try to condense it a little bit!

나는 너의 집에 갈 거야 can be just stating a general fact that you are going to your friends house. If someone asks you, 지금 뭐해요? (what are you doing right now?) you can reply with 나는 너의 집에 갈 거야. You’re just stating what you’re doing.

The particle -ㄴ/은/는 can also be used to suggest a contrast between what “I” is doing and someone else. You could say 민지가 학교에 갈 거야. 나는 너의 집에 갈 거야, carrying the meaning of “Minji is going to go to school, but I am going to go to your house.” Minji is going one place, while I, on the other hand, am going to your house.

내가 너의 짚에 갈 거야 is a little different. 내가 너의 짚에 갈 거야 is useful if you’re trying to emphasize that it is I that is going to your house. If someone asked, 누가 친구의 집에 갈 거야? meaning “who is going to your friend’s house?” you could say 내가 친구의 짚에 갈 거야, suggesting “it’s me who is going to my friend’s house.” (I changed “your” to “your friends” just to make it a little easier to understand.) That’s the basic difference essentially. Again, I think Miss Vicky’s video is really helpful and more detailed, so I highly recommend checking it out! But I hope that my explanation cleared up some of your confusion!

As for 내가 meaning “I am,” I wouldn’t necessarily say that. Of course it can be used in sentences that translate to “I am...” but I wouldn’t say that 내가 itself means that. 내가 is just “I” with a subject particle attached. I hope all of that makes sense! This is a great question so thanks for asking! 화이팅!
