Questions & Answers about naneun maeil hangugeo gongbu gyehoegeul saenggakhaeyo.

Why is 나는 used in this sentence? Could I say 저는 instead or even leave it out entirely?

• 나는 is made of 나 (“I” in casual speech) + the topic marker 는.
• 저는 is the polite equivalent (“I” in formal speech) + 는. You can swap 나는 → 저는 to sound more polite.
• You can also omit 나는/저는 if the context already makes the subject clear. Korean often drops subjects when they’re understood.

What’s the role of the marker 은/는 on 나는? Could I use 이/가 instead?

• 은/는 is the topic marker. It frames “as for me…” and often introduces general or habitual statements.
• 이/가 is the subject marker; it simply identifies the doer without that extra “topic” nuance.
• If you said 내가 매일 한국어 공부 계획을 생각해요, it would feel more like emphasizing “I (not someone else) think…” rather than stating your daily routine.

What does 매일 mean, and why is it placed before 한국어 공부 계획?

• 매일 means “every day.”
• In Korean, time adverbs like 매일 typically come before the verb but can also appear before the object. Placing it early (often at the sentence start) highlights the routine aspect: “Every day, (I) …”

Why isn’t there a 의 between 한국어 and 공부, or between 공부 and 계획? Wouldn’t 한국어의 공부의 계획 be more literal?
