Questions & Answers about hoeuiga ohu se si yejeongiya.

What exactly does the form 예정이야 mean grammatically?

• 예정 is a noun meaning “schedule/plan.”
• 이다 is the copula “to be.”
• 이야 is the casual present form of 이다 used after a noun ending in a consonant. So 예정 + (이)야 → 예정이야.
• Polite equivalents: 예정이에요; very formal: 예정입니다.

Is the particle 에 after the time missing? Should it be 오후 세 시에?

• With 예정, both are used:
  • 회의가 오후 세 시 예정이야. (very common “N + 예정” pattern)
  • 회의가 오후 세 시에 예정이야. (also acceptable)
• You’ll also often hear a passive scheduling pattern with 로:
  • 회의가 오후 세 시로 예정돼 있어. / 예정되어 있어요. (“set for 3 p.m.”)
• If you just want to state time (not emphasize “scheduled”), use:
  • 회의가 오후 세 시에 있어(요).

Why use 가 instead of 는 after 회의?

• 가 marks the subject and often presents new, factual info: “The meeting (as information) is scheduled…”
• 는 makes it a topic/contrast: 회의는 오후 세 시 예정이야 = “As for the meeting, (by the way) it’s scheduled at 3.”
• Both are grammatical; choose based on nuance.
