Questions & Answers about jeoneun naeil gajokgwa yeohaenghaeyo.
저 means “I” (humble/polite form). The particle -는 is a topic marker, so 저는 literally means “as for me….” In Korean, you often introduce the topic first. Using -는 instead of the subject marker -가 (저가) shifts the focus to what you’re going to say about yourself rather than emphasizing “I” as the new or unknown subject.
가족 means “family,” and -과 means “with” (literally “and,” but here used as a conjunction meaning “together with”). So 가족과 = “with (my) family.”
Alternatives:
- 가족하고 (casual)
- 가족이랑 (very casual)
All three mean “with family,” but -과 is slightly more formal than -하고/이랑.
