-이라서 / -라서 is the because form used with nouns.

• If the noun ends in a consonant, use -이라서
• If the noun ends in a vowel, use -라서

So:

• 방학 ends in the consonant ㄱ
• therefore it becomes 방학이라서

Examples:

• 학생이라서 = because I am a student
• 의사라서 = because I am a doctor

So 방학이라서 means because it is vacation / because it’s school break.

Yes. It is related.

With nouns, Korean often uses:

• 이다 = to be

From that, forms like these come from 이어서/여서 in a broader sense, but in actual modern Korean, the normal and natural form with nouns is:

• 받침 있음: -이라서
• 받침 없음: -라서

So learners should treat 방학이라서 as the standard pattern rather than trying to build it mechanically from 이다 every time.

Korean often leaves out the subject when it is obvious from context.

So instead of saying:

• 저는 방학이라서 아침마다 늦게 일어나요.

Korean very naturally says:

• 방학이라서 아침마다 늦게 일어나요.

The listener usually understands that the speaker means I wake up late every morning because it’s vacation.

This is very common in Korean. Pronouns such as 저, 나, 너 are omitted much more often than English pronouns.

마다 means every or each when attached to a noun.

So:

• 아침 = morning
• 아침마다 = every morning

Other examples:

• 주말마다 = every weekend
• 해마다 = every year
• 사람마다 = each person

In this sentence, 아침마다 means the action happens repeatedly each morning.

Both can mean every morning, and in many situations they are very similar.

• 아침마다 = every morning, each morning
• 매일 아침 = every day in the morning / every morning

The nuance:

• 마다 emphasizes each instance
• 매일 아침 sounds a bit more like a straightforward time expression

So these are both natural:

• 아침마다 늦게 일어나요.
• 매일 아침 늦게 일어나요.

In this sentence, 아침마다 highlights the repeated pattern nicely.

Here 늦게 is the adverb form of 늦다.

• 늦다 = to be late
• 늦게 = late, in a late way

Since it modifies the verb 일어나요 (wake up), you need the adverb form:

• 늦게 일어나요 = wake up late

Compare:

• 늦은 아침 = a late morning / late breakfast-like usage depending on context
  → 늦은 is an adjective form modifying a noun
• 늦다 = dictionary form
• 늦게 = adverb modifying a verb

The verb is 일어나다, which means to get up / to wake up.

Its parts are:

• 일어나- = verb stem
• -아요 = polite present ending

So:

• 일어나다 → 일어나요

This is the standard polite present tense form, often used in everyday conversation.

Examples:

• 일찍 일어나요. = I wake up early.
• 보통 7시에 일어나요. = I usually get up at 7.

It can mean either, depending on context.

• wake up = become awake
• get up = rise from bed

Korean 일어나다 often covers both ideas.

So 늦게 일어나요 could be understood as:

• I wake up late
• I get up late

In everyday learning materials, wake up late is the most common translation, but get up late is also perfectly reasonable depending on the situation.

Korean often puts the reason before the main action:

• 방학이라서 = because it’s vacation
• 아침마다 늦게 일어나요 = I wake up late every morning

So the structure is:

Reason + main statement

This is very natural in Korean. English can also do this:

• Because it’s vacation, I wake up late every morning.

But English also often says:

• I wake up late every morning because it’s vacation.

Korean strongly prefers putting the -아서/어서/이라서 clause before the main clause.

Sometimes, yes, but the nuance is a little different.

• 방학이라서 clearly marks because
• 방학이라 can also imply since / because, but it sounds a bit more conversational or shortened in some contexts

For learners, 방학이라서 is the safest and clearest form when you want to say because it’s vacation.

So:

• 방학이라서 아침마다 늦게 일어나요. = very standard

일어나요 uses the 해요체, the polite informal style.

It is:

• polite
• natural
• very common in daily conversation

Compare:

• 일어나요 = polite everyday speech
• 일어납니다 = more formal
• 일어나 = casual, plain speech to close friends or younger people

So this sentence is polite and neutral, which makes it a very useful everyday pattern.

Yes, in natural English the idea may be translated that way, but grammatically the Korean sentence specifically uses a reason form:

• 방학이라서 = because it is vacation

So the literal structure is causal. However, in smooth English, people may translate it more naturally as:

• I wake up late every morning during vacation.

That translation captures the general idea, even though the Korean grammar is explicitly because it’s vacation.

Yes, that is grammatically correct.

You can say:

• 방학이라서 저는 아침마다 늦게 일어나요.

But in normal conversation, 저는 is often unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• 언니는 일찍 일어나는데, 저는 방학이라서 아침마다 늦게 일어나요. = My older sister gets up early, but I wake up late every morning because it’s vacation.

So adding 저는 is possible, but omitting it is often more natural.
