Questions & Answers about naeil hoeuiga isseoseo iljjik ireonaya haeyo.

What does 있어서 mean here?

있어서 is the connective form of 있다.

• 있다 = to exist, to be, to have
• -어서 = and so / because / since

So 회의가 있어서 literally means something like because there is a meeting. In natural English, that becomes because I have a meeting or since there’s a meeting.

In this sentence, it connects the reason to the result:

• 회의가 있어서 = because I have a meeting
• 일찍 일어나야 해요 = I have to get up early

Why is 가 used after 회의?

In Korean, 있다 often goes with 이/가 on the thing that exists.

So:

• 회의가 있다 = there is a meeting / I have a meeting

Here, 회의가 marks meeting as the thing that exists or is scheduled.

This can feel strange to English speakers because English says I have a meeting, with I as the subject. Korean often expresses it more like a meeting exists.

Why isn’t the subject included? Where is I?
