Questions & Answers about jeoneun chinguhago kapeeseo chareul masyeoyo.

Why is 저는 used instead of just 저?

저 means I in a humble/polite way. The particle 는 is added to mark it as the topic of the sentence.

So:

• 저 = I / me
• 저는 = as for me / I

In Korean, topic and subject particles are very common, so using 저는 sounds natural in a full sentence.

What does the particle 는 do in this sentence?

는 is the topic particle. It marks 저 as the topic: as for me.

In this sentence, 저는 친구하고 카페에서 차를 마셔요, it sets up the sentence as being about me. It does not always translate directly into English, but it often adds a sense like:

• As for me, ...
• I ...

It is different from 이/가, which is more of a subject marker.
