Questions & Answers about jibe keompyuteoga isseoseo onrain sueobeul deureoyo.
Why is 집에 used here instead of 집에서?
집에 marks the location of 있다 (to exist)—you’re saying “there is a computer at home.” It’s not describing where you take the class (for that you would use 집에서 온라인 수업을 들어요), but rather where the computer is.
What does -이 있어서 mean in 컴퓨터가 있어서?
This is the existence verb 있다 plus the connective -아서/어서, which here expresses reason: “Because I have a computer…” Literally, 컴퓨터가 있어서 = “there is a computer (so)…”
Why is the subject particle -가 used with 컴퓨터 instead of the topic particle -는?
-가 often introduces new or important information and pairs naturally with 있다 (existence). If you said 컴퓨터는, you’d be emphasizing “as for the computer (I’ve already mentioned earlier)…” Here you’re simply stating “a computer exists,” so 컴퓨터가 is more neutral.
Can I use 컴퓨터가 있으니까 instead of 컴퓨터가 있어서?
Yes, both -아서/어서 and -으니까 can express cause (“because”).
• -아서/어서 is more descriptive and neutral—just stating a reason.
• -으니까 can feel a bit stronger, sometimes suggesting a conclusion or recommendation.
In daily speech either is fine: 컴퓨터가 있으니까 온라인 수업을 들어요.
