Questions & Answers about choegeune naneun undongeul dasi sijakhaesseo.

What nuance does 최근에 have compared to 요즘/요새?

• 최근에 means "recently" (a point or short window in the recent past). It pairs naturally with past-tense events like -었/았-.
• 요즘/요새 means "these days" (an ongoing period around now) and often goes with present/habitual statements.
• Your sentence with 최근에 highlights the past starting point. 요즘 운동을 다시 시작했어 is also heard if you frame the restart as part of what’s going on these days, but 최근에 is the clearest for a recent, completed start.

Why is it 나는 and not 저는?

• 나/나는 is informal/casual; 저/저는 is polite/humble.
• The ending -했어 is casual, so 나는 … 했어 is internally consistent.
• In polite speech, use 저는 … 했어요/했습니다. Avoid mixing styles like 나는 … 했어요 in most situations.

Can I drop 나는?

Yes. Korean often omits the subject when it’s clear from context. 최근에 운동을 다시 시작했어 is perfectly natural in conversation.

What does 을 do after 운동, and when would I use 를?
