Lesson 4. 은/는, 예요/이에요 (To be)

 Lesson 4. 은/는, 예요/이에요 (To be) 

 Instead of using you, he, she, or they, use titles (such as brother, sister, teacher, etc). 
* 'I' and 'we' are used often. 

# 안녕하세요, 저는 지나예요. 저는 학생이에요. Hello, I am Gina. I am a student. 
# 안녕하세요, 저는 김혜정이에요. 저는 선생님이에요. Hi, I am Hyejeong Kim. I am a teacher. 

Formal 
I = 저 / I am 저는 
We = 저희 / We are = 저희는 

Informal 
I = 나 / I am = 나는 
We = 우리 / We are = 우리는 

 IMPORTANT  

선생님 

ㄴ, ㅇ, ㅁ are the '받침'(Bottom Consonants). 
We only count the last '받침' when we conjugate. 

 No 받침 - Add 는 for No 받침 words 

# 저는 지나예요. I'm Gina. 
# 우리는 친구예요. We are friends. 

 받침 - Add 은 for 받침 words 

# 서울은 어디예요? Where is Seoul? 
# 핸드폰은 얼마예요? How much is the phone? 

* You have to finish the sentences with 예요 or 이에요 if there is a noun. 

 No 받침 - Add 예요 when the word doesn't have a 받침 at the end of it. 

# 저는 지나예요. I'm Gina. / 지나예요? Are you Gina? 
# 우리는 친구예요. We're friends. / 친구예요? Is she/he your friend? 
# 카메라예요. It's a camera. / 카메라예요? Is it a camera? 

 받침 - Add 이에요 when the word has a 받침 at the end of it. 

# 저는 학생이에요. I'm a student. / 학생이에요? Are you a student? 
# 여름이에요. It's summer. / 여름이에요? Is it summer? 

* When speaking, we make things shorter. For example in English, I am = I'm, We are = we're 
저는 = 전, 나는 = 난, 저희는 = 저흰, 우리는 = 우린
