- It's time for a particle review of the three Korean markers - the Topic Marker (은/는), the Subject Marker (이/가), and the Object Marker (을/를). Let's compare and contrast each of them, and talk about how they're used.

Here's a longer live class lesson I did about these three markers: • Korean Topic, Subject,...

Thank you for this! This is the best explanation I've ever heard!!
After 2 years of feeling lost when it comes to particles, I finally feel like I have a grasp on them.
you said "after 2 years"...Thanks Jessig 0219. I've been studying Korean now for 2 and a half years and this still tricks me up. I thought after 2 years and still not sure ,it had to be me. Good to know I'm not alone om this. I know you are doing so many things now Billy but this video is gold. thank you as well.
찌뺳이 =)✌
Same here ㅠㅠ
glad I found this after 15mos then. Thanks again Billy 씨
Girl, you didn't understand particles for 2 years...I have been learning Korean for 2 months now and couldn't grasp the concept of particles, I thought I was behind..Glad to know it's common
7:24 "The subject marker marks the subject NOT of a sentence BUT OF THE VERB." This clarification alone helps so much! Thank you!
Many students subscribe to the theory of only having a native (born) teacher. I myself have taken numerous classes with Korean teachers; however, because of language or cultural differences, they cannot always answer my questions. This is never a problem with Billy, since he has already traveled the road we are just now starting on, he understands (and sometimes predicts) our questions. And, unlike many other professional CZcamsrs, he frequently responds to comments, adding additional insight. 선생님 고맙습니다.
Yep...That is exactly what I think and feel, actually I just posted in Spanish something like what you said.
right
Soooo true....
Thank u Billy, u r our saviour.
Bestest teacher I ever had.
Exactly! Sometimes its better to hear from someone who speaks your native language explain how they learned a concept of another language. There are just ways we say things that explain a concept better. Like this video was so clear compared to videos on this topic explained by a native korean speaker.
I have struggled with the topic marker for a while, this explanation was the first that actually cleared it up for me. Thank you a lot!
Is anybody else’s head hurting like hell over subject particles 😩
Same bestie 😩
Got a whole headache over this 🥴
Me
Being a Korean myself, this is something I have never thought of before. I am sure not many Koreans have unless they are linguists. But, yes, his explanation is quite accurate. This video will be of much help to those who study Korean. 한국사람으로서 이건 내가 한번도 생각해본 적이 없는 문제인데, 생각해보니 꽤 정확한 이야기인 것 같아요. 한국어를 공부하는 사람들에게 이 동영상은 큰 도움이 될 것 같아요.
Hii may i ask you something??
Woah there if you keep giving clear explanations like this all the time I'm gonna start thinking Korean is super easy lololol
The distinction between 은 and 이/가 as a change in the conversational topic helps a lot. I think the 'as for/when it comes to' phrase will be really helpful in remembering
This is honestly THE best video about particles I’ve ever watched. The 이/가 vs 은/는 section was explained beautifully, you really hit the nail out of my head. Thank you, Sir!
the expression is "hit the nail on the head" =]
@@aKModernthat not what they are trying to say, they are trying to say he removed something that really disturbed him/her
I’m really happy I see this video early in my journey of learning korean. Thanks Billy!!
i'm korean but still learn Korean from him a lot. he's a great teacher.
Wow. Dude. This is by far downright the best exclamation of these markers I have ever seen. I wish I had seen this a year or two ago.
I had a lot of trouble understanding this topic but this video has helped me a lot! I finally understand now ^^. Thank you Billy!!
In 12 minutes I understood what I couldn't in one year. Thank you so much for the explanation.
IDC what ppl say THIS IS the BEST particle video. I have seen 10 in total particle videos and this is the ONLY one that I fully understand.
I've seen many videos about particles but this is the first one that really made me understand them. Thank you so so much. 감사합니다 !!!
Sammme 💜💜
this was so helpful! I actually asked my korean professor how to differentiate between 이/가 and 은/는 because I seriously couldn't understand it at all but this explanation made it clear thank you
Wow, excellent!
As a Korean American who began learning Japanese with an American textbook, I really had a hard time distinguishing between “Wa” and “Ga” which is exactly same as the Korean “Neun,” and “Ga” which is described as a topic marker and subject marker respectively.
Only when I learned Japanese with a Korean textbook that I truly understand its meaning and application. Things I realized about learning a foreign language is that when you can “feel” it, it is very easy to understand and memorize. For instance, everyone knows what feels to be “hot, cold, hurt, happy” and so on.
But something abstract that require analysis, such as topic marker and subject marker, it will take a long time to understand fully. I applaud the teacher for making this difficult topic much easier to understand.
Best.explanation.ever
i know right omg
OH MY GOD. You're really good at this. I am learning from korean teachers and still can't understand this. Even though I am in intermediate level, it's still difficult to understand. And it ruins the whole thing if we did these wrong. However, you just explained it very well. Even better than natives I would say.
i’ve been learning korean (seriously) since april of this year, and i’ve been introduced to the idea of 은/는 & 이/가 many times, but it was still a little confusing. this is the first time i’ve completely understood the difference between the two.. your examples & visualization helped so much😭 thank you! 감사합니다! 🫶🏽
Teaching is a skill and Billy really has it 💫 Thank you so so much Billy 🥹
This is the third video I have watched and I think I’m beginning to get it. The sign as a visual is a real winner. Thank you for that!!!!!!!
Like many other commenters, I have read and watched countless resources on particles and just ended up so confused my brain hurt haha. You broke them down into simple terms and simple sentences. I finally feel like it's starting to make sense to me. I will definitely be sharing this video if I see anyone else needing help with them. Thank you so much for your videos!!
Just found this channel and love it! The pace is nice and the explanations are so clear to me.
So cool to have channel's like you to explain this beautiful language 😊( love your videos)
I'm amazed how Billy easily explained this particles! Glad I saw this!
This is the best explanation I've seen so far. I was struggling to understand. Now I going to go back on sentences I didn't understand to apply this to.
I have watched many videos about this one, and this is so far the best and the ONLY video that made me understand about the topic. Thank you, Billy!
You've just explained this so well. I've been struggling with this for so long! By far the best explanation on this!!!
Billy, as always, is a life saver. I am so thankful for his classes and books. Patreon supporter forever.
This was extremely helpful! I've been very confused about this concept for a while now, and this truly cleared it up! Thank you so much!!!
Best description I've heard!! Thank you!
This was so incredibly helpful, thank you very much! I was really stuck on these endings and your explanation *finally* clarified things for me. I will search for your videos from now on.
Thanks so much for this info! It's super helpful and much easier to understand than explanation I've seen elsewhere.
You are a lifesaver! I was waiting for a video about this by you, cause your explanations are the only ones I understand right away. Was struggling so much, know I get it. Thank you 😊 !!!
This is the video that got me to subscribe. I was struggling alot with these, but this is a reallllly useful and easy explanation. You are so good it putting these into examples, I genuinely dont think it could be put any better. 10/10
this is literally the best explanation ever thank you so so so much
Finally a video that gives a simple, good, fast and straight forward explanation. Great summary for those that have learnt it.
Wow it really does take practice. This is one of the few videos of teachers that explains 은 는 이 가 well. Thank You so much, now I'm getting the hang of 은 는 이 가.
This video was actually very helpful. I've been struggling with topic markers and subject markers. Thank you so much for taking your time for creating this video. 감사합니다
I'm so happy that I was finally able to understand this!
I feel like Billy's lessons are so detailed and that's awesome.
Thanks for your hard work!
화이팅!
Thank you so much Billy! I was stuck on this for 2 hours, and your 12 minutes video completely explained it and simplified it. I can't describe how much I appreciate you rn 🤲
this was really helpful, i was struggling with these particles but now i feel it is quite easy, thank you so much for making this video and helping the viewers
This is the most clear video on this topic. It actually helps me so much rn. I've been struggling with those since i started 2 months ago.
this is by far the best explanation i've come across.. thank you!!!
I’ve been studying korean for 3 years now and I always had so much trouble trying to understand these particles. The way you explained when and how to use and differentiate them is the best
This is the clearest explanation I've come across and it's finally making sense now 😭 Thank you 💕
Billy, thank you so much for this video! I was having a hard time trying to differentiate those markers but you just made everything so clear. Thanks a million ♥
I'm just so in love with your way of teaching
Thank you so much
after watching two of your videos, I now rely on you for all my korean questions! Your explanations are so easy to understand!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve been struggling with this big time. Your explanation is fantastic! 🙏 정말 감사합니다!!
This video has helped me so much I genuinely struggled getting my head around it all but this is such a clear explanation. Thank you!
Every time i watch a video on this i feel like i get it a little bit more :) using the analogy of the hanging sign and explaining subject markers mark the subject of "verbs" were the best explanations i heard!!! thank youuu
This completely cleared up the confusion I was having!! I’ve watched so many videos like this before and this was the one that finally clicked!! Thank you so much :))
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling with particles for a while and this made everything much clearer.
I’ve watched so many videos and finally I understand this complicated topic. Thanks!
I’ve been subscribed for a while and I just have to say I love love love how you explain Korean. I don’t even know why I’m just watching this now.
I’m so encouraged to keep learning and Can’t wait to go watch the rest.
감사합니다 ☺️ you really helped me a lot! I have been struggling with this for a bit of time! But you explained it very well, and simple! Keep it up! 👍🏻
This video is game changing. Such a wonderfully thorough explanation on the differences between the topic marker and the subject marker. Thank you so much!
So far the best explanation I've watched here on YT.
thank you for this. i get the concept now. i been learning korean for 7 months and this by far was the most helpful thing that helped me understand
This was the best explanation of the differences between Topic & Subject marking particles I have come across. Thank you!
I’ve done many lessons, and watched many videos about this but I think this video properly cleared it up for me! 감사합니다!
I love that concept about picturing an imaginary sign when it comes to Topic marking particles. Now i use it whenever I have trouble figuring out a sentence, it has been so helpful!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been struggling a lot with that, but I finally understood the difference between those two!!
This is the best video explanation I have found that I actually understand. Thank you so much!
i am so in love with this man (in a very respectful manner) i was so stuck with thiss, he made it so easy ... i love his books and yt videos,,,, really reallly helpsss thankyou so much...
wow just wow! I have been trying to understand this for ages and you clarified it well. Cannot thank you enough!
Thank you so much, I’ve been struggling with this since I started learning Korean some months ago and you’ve explained it so perfectly.
Billy stands for being emphatic teacher especially to those non-native Korean speakers. I now understand the role of these markers after very long time. OMO! Thank you so much!!!! 😊😊😊
This is the first video which has really helped me. Thank you so much!
I just wanna say: THANK YOU BILLY!!! Your Videos are really helpful for learning Korean. 감사합니다 !
BILLY, you are simply the best teacher I have ever come across.
This strangely makes a lot of sense and no sense at all.😂 I think I'm slowly starting to understand particles a little better which is both exciting and a little scary. Thank you so much for this!❤️ The topic marker example made so much sense!
Thank you so much for the explanation. It really helps me understanding those particles better and which one to use in which situations.
thank u sm.. i was so confused on this for the longest time but it make so much more sense now!
Your explanations are so clear and well thought out… an amazing teacher! 빌리고 선생님은 최고예요!
Genius ✌✌👍👍
I have being trying to understand how to use these subject marks and objects marks for a lot of months and you let me to understand the differences in 12 min. You are a good teacher compliments ✌
Thank you for this! I’ve read many sources to learn this but you’ve made it so simple ❤
You explained it better than anyone else. Thank youuuu!!!!
This is far and away the very best explanation of the topic & subject marking particles thatI have ever seen. EVERY teacher should be using that analogy of having a sign over your head. Brilliant.
I watched several video about this topic, and I was confuse with all of it. But your video is my favorite. I understand more now. Thank you.
Very useful as always. Thank you for making the lesson so easy to understand.
I was pulling my hair out trying to understand the differences between the topic and subject-marking particles- this is literally the first time I’ve actually understood!!!!! Thank you!!!
Watched so many videos. This one explains it the best!
Thank you Billy...it was really useful. I was confused by these 3 Marker but now I know them clearly
You answered a question that I was deeply struggling with for a period of time ... thank you so much 😭🌸
You literary made everything ten times easier for me! Honestly cause every time I watched other CZcams videos I got so confused even from Native Korean explanations but you made me understand
THANK YOU. I'm new to the Korean language and these markers threw me for a loop for a hot second. I watched a few other videos to try to get a better grasp on the topic, but yours is the one that really made me understand how to use the three sets of markers!
Your explanation helps a lot. Thank you.
I have watched many of these kinds of video but I would say this one is the best once. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad i found your channel ㅠㅠ i've been self studying Korean since i was in college (2-3+ years i think since i graduated already) but particles are really hard for me to learn even though i searched a lot of materials online ㅠㅠ i have a formal Korean class for the past month with a korean teacher and i'm having a hard time grasping what particles should i use. I'm really thankful for this ㅠㅠ
Love the way this way broken down! Thank you!
I am currently doing my challenges in learning Korean and I don't really know when will I use 은/는, 이/가, 을/를. I watched lots of videos but none of them teach when or how you will use them. Thanks to this man and he enlighten me! I JUST SUSBCRIBED AND LIKE THE VIDEO! I'LL WATCH MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS. Thanks again!~
I just learned something today thanks 선생님 . It's so easy to learn from your videos. I'M HOOKED.
I've watched a lot of different videos on these markers over the last few days, all by native Korean speakers.
Your explanation just made it all so much clearer. Great video!
The way you explain it is so easy I get so much more now thanks billy 🤗
Amazingly explained I enjoyed your other video on this as well . Would live to see more on this
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much for teaching us Korean, you're great 😊😊
Wow I finally understand!! Was struggling for a long time about the differences between subject and topic markers
