Questions & Answers about jeoneun undongbogeul ipgo undonghaeyo.

What is the role of 저는 in this sentence? Can I use 내가 or 제가 instead?

저는 consists of 저 (I, humble form) plus the topic particle -는. It marks “I” as the topic of the sentence—what the sentence is about.

• 내가 or 제가 use the subject particle -가, which emphasizes the subject in contexts like giving new information or contrasting.
• In most neutral statements about yourself, 저는 is preferred. You could use 제가 if you’re emphasizing that it’s you (e.g., 제가 운동해요 = “It’s me who exercises”).

What does 운동복을 mean and why is the particle -을 attached?

운동복 means exercise clothes or sportswear. The particle -을 is the accusative (object) marker. It tells us that 운동복 is the direct object of the verb 입다 (to wear).
