I'm really sorry about this
Not only for the 'double post' but for having to request something that isn't entirely help with Korean...

( I'll cut the rest... )

grammar, translation

은/는, 이/가 are still so hard for me to get right. There was some stuff mentioned about them in the first post in the link provided by k0dama님 but here’s some things that I just had to find out on my own.

It’s always:

은/는

EXCEPT IN ALL OF THESE CASES AHAHA:

When some verbs seem to go hand in hand with 이/가:

아니다 / to not be
나는 바보가 아닙니다 / I am not an idiot.

있다 / to exist/for there to be
저기에는 꼬리가 다섯 달린 고양이가 있어요 / There’s a five-tailed cat over there.

없다 / to not exist/for there not to be
한강에 괴물이 없어요 / There’s no monster in the Han River.

많다 / to be a lot of
요즘 인터넷에서 나는 인기가 아주 많아요 / I’m really popular on the internet these days.

나다 / to happen
사고가 났어요 / I had an accident (not of the lavatory persuasion)

그립다 / to long for
팀탬스가 그리워요 / I miss Timtams.

좋다 / to be good
여름이 좋아요 / Summer’s nice.

나쁘다 / to be bad
오늘은 날씨가 나빠요 / The weather’s bad today.

싫다 / to not like
서울에서 운전하기가 싫어요 / I don’t like driving in Seoul (you can also say 서울에서 운전하기를 싫어해요 but that’s not the point)

되다 / to become
앞으로 선생님이 되고 싶어요 / I want to be a teacher later on ( ... )

Even though I wasn't the person to ask I am so taking this. I've been trying to start out with expanding knowledge into grammar / sentence structure and all that and the sites I've come across that explain the particles completely confused me and made me lose the tiny fragment of confidence I had (not that I should even have it). :/ So, 정말 고맙습니다.

And I very welcome you back. 은/는, 이/가 are really hard for people who only speak English because they just don't appear in the language, so if I know something about how to use them, I think I should share the love.

If you have any other questions about anything about Korean (don't ask me about Turkish, can't help you there :/), message me or something. Me and Korean are in nerdy love 8D.
