Questions & Answers about gyeolhoneun insaengeseo jungyohan irieyo.

Why is 결혼은 using 은 instead of 이/가?

은/는 is the topic particle. It marks 결혼 as the thing the sentence is talking about: as for marriage...

So 결혼은 인생에서 중요한 일이에요 feels like:

As for marriage, it is an important matter in life.

If you used 결혼이, the nuance would be a bit more like marriage is the thing that is important in life, with stronger subject focus. In many everyday sentences, both can be possible, but 은/는 is very natural here because the speaker is presenting a general statement about marriage.

What does 인생에서 mean here? Why is it 에서?

Here, 인생에서 means in life or in one's life.

The particle 에서 can mark the scope, setting, or area within which something applies. In this sentence, it means something like:

within life / in the context of life

So:

• 인생에서 중요한 일 = an important matter in life

This is a very common use of 에서 beyond just physical location.

Why is 중요한 in that form?
