Questions & Answers about peurinteoga isanghaeseo dareun bangeseo dasi inswaehaesseoyo.

Why is 가 used in 프린터가 instead of 는?

가 marks 프린터 as the subject of the reason clause: the printer is the thing being described as strange / not working right.

• 프린터가 이상해서 = because the printer was weird / acting up
• If you said 프린터는 이상해서, it would sound more like you are contrasting the printer with something else, as in as for the printer, it was acting strange...

In this sentence, 가 is the most natural choice because the printer is simply being identified as the cause of the situation.

What does 이상해서 mean here exactly?

이상해서 comes from 이상하다, which means to be strange, weird, or sometimes not normal / not working properly depending on context.

Here it does not mean the printer is literally bizarre in some abstract way. It means something more practical, like:

• it was acting up
• it seemed wrong
• it was malfunctioning
• something was off with it

The -아서/어서 ending connects it to the next action and gives a reason:

• 이상해서 = because it was strange / because it was acting up

So the sentence means the speaker reprinted somewhere else because the printer had a problem.

How does -아서/어서 work in this sentence?
