Questions & Answers about hyujineun sseuregitonge baro beoryeoyo.

Why is it 휴지는 and not 휴지를?

-는 is the topic marker, while -를 is the object marker.

So 휴지는 means something like:

• as for tissues
• when it comes to tissues

In this sentence, the speaker is presenting 휴지 as the topic of a general instruction or rule.

If you said 휴지를 쓰레기통에 바로 버려요, that would also be grammatically possible, but it feels more like directly marking tissue as the object of throw away.
With 휴지는, the sentence sounds more like a general statement or guideline:

• As for tissues, throw them directly into the trash can.

The -는 can also give a slight contrastive feeling, especially if other items are treated differently.

What does 쓰레기통에 mean, and why is 에 used here?
