  4. Tam Kayson,

    Hi all,
    In Level 1 Lesson 26 Dialogue
    there are two sentences:

    민아: 이거요? 이거 선물이에요.
    민수: 선물이요? 우와. 감사합니다.

    May I ask: the “이” in “선물이요” acts as a subject marking particle? or the short form of “이에요” ? or some other meanings?

    Thank you 🙂

    • Jumana Al-Omari,

      Hi, the suffix “이에요” as a whole means “This is” like in English we say this is a present.

    • Callista,

      I think it’s a subject marking particle, the 요 there is use for interrogative sentence in a formal way.

    • Tam Kayson,

      네, thank you so much !

  5. :Lex:LaShay :ot7:ARMYBrat,

    Hey everyone! Im here because i want to take a trip to Seoul and not be completely clueless lol. They say you have to surround yourself with Korean things if you cant physically be there when youre learning so Im into kpop and soon ill watch kdramas. Id love to have a person to converse with and share what we learn.

    Kakao Id: LexLaShay6228

    No kids lol i dont want to filter how i talk lol

  6. ,

    People are going to be asking me, ” So, what got you into Korean?” Me: ” Do you know bts?” No, but all jokes aside, this is really helping me cause i wanted to start watching run bts without subtitles and talk to my friend who is army, just like me, in Korean because she has been teasing me playfully. Saying things I don’t understand, so i want to know what she is saying and just learn Korean cause when we get old enough we want to go to Korea and it would be a really fun experience and to enjoy it even more would to speak with others and interact without a language boundary, especially when i get to meet bts 😉 so i just want to say that this is a really good website and that its helpful. And just for everyone pick this one over anything else because my friend is actually learning the whole alphabet and vowels so like i don’t even have to learn that I know how to spell hi in Korean! but like this is really good and amazing and helpful i just cant even describe it! THANKS for making this!!! Know let me go buy premium so I can get quizzed!! Keep up the good work!!

    • NEIMA AHMED,

      me too!!!

    • Chi Chan,

      I got the same reason lol. Hope you doing good now :))

    • Deutsch Tayao,

      Saame! Although, I was exposed to Korean dramas at a very young age, BTS really made me want to pursue learning their language, their inside jokes that will only be hilarious if you know the language lol
