And yes, Keith is Korean. He grew up in the States, so English is his first language, but his Korean is very good too

ㅎㅎㅎ 사실 그렇네요. 조금이라고 하기에는 무리가 있군요 ^^

One more possible example could be :

“제가 가수를 좋아한다는 것을 어떻게 알았어요?”

현우씨, ‘조금’이 아니라 ‘아주’ 무례한 것 같은데요 ㅋㅋㅋ

Jacqueline,
Here are some variations.

제가 좋아하는 가수는 비입니다.

비는 제가 좋아하는 가수입니다.

제가 가수 중에 좋아하는 사람은 비입니다.

저는 비를 가수로 좋아합니다.

저는 가수 중에 비를 좋아합니다.

anything else, 현우씨?

다행이에요 ^^! (Good to hear that!)

그런데 한 가지! (But one thing!)

‘moving on’은 “넘어갑시다’예요 ^^

“넘어가다”

정말 고맙습니다. Alles Klar! Um, I understand much better now.

OK, moving on 넘은 갑시다.

살 노트북 있어요…

Haha. I guess we were really writing at the same time. (동시에 글을 쓰고 있었나 봐요!)

Oh, the reason that ‘제가’ is used in the phrase ‘My favorite singer’ is because ‘제가 좋아하는’ means ‘that I like’ literally, and ‘제가’ is the ’subject’ of the verb ‘좋아하다’ So, ‘the singer I like’ = 제가 좋아하는

So in that case, you need a ’subject’ marker there So it becomes ‘제가’ instead of ‘저는’

하하. 네. ‘놀고 있네’라는 표현은 친구들끼리 쓰는 것이 가장 좋아요 만약 친하지 않은 사람이거나 ‘존댓말을 해야 하는 사이’라면, 조금 무례할 수 있어요 ^^

쓰지만 –> 썼는데
다른 분에게 –> 다른 사람들에게

어제 큰 충격을 받았어요. 제 아내와 함께 얘기 하면서 3월21일 에 배운 표현 (놀고 있네) 쓰지만 제 아내가 모욕을 받았어요! 그녀가 저에게 제가 그 표현을 다른 분에게 사용하면 안 된 다고 했어요….왜요? 아마 제 아내 조금 예민한 사람이예요!

설명해 주세요!

Great examples!

There is another thing that came to my mind, i noticed that 저는 is always used when you want to say “I”, but 제가 besides being used as “I” it’s also used as “My” oh oh confusion again ^^. So is that another difference between them? or am i confused?.
I remember seein it in this form : 제가 좋아하는 가수 ______________ 입니다. (My favorite singer is ____________).

‘저는’ 많이 안 자요. 하지만 ‘저는’ 더 많이 자야해요 ㅠ.ㅠ 헤헤헤.

And Thanks Hyunwoo too. ^^ And yeah do you ever sleep??!!! LOL Your computer must be working very hard , you don’t let it sleep either ^^

For example, let’s say, I’m talking to you, and there’s one around us. I want to ask, ‘where do you live?’
(어디에 살아요?)

and then you can answer, naturally,
(저는 서울에 살아요.)

but if you say ‘제가 서울에 살아요.’,
it’s not just ‘ I live in Seoul’.
it means ‘it’s me who lives in Seoul.’

And if someone asks ‘누가 서울에 살아요?’
(who lives in Seoul?)

and you say ‘저는 서울에 살아요.’,
it’s very unnatural because
the ‘는’ there is supposed to show contrast,
so just hearing ‘저는’ from this sentence, the other person might think ‘oh, he/she doesn’t live in Seoul.’ and then you’re saying ‘I live in Seoul.’

So in that case, it’s better to answer with ‘제가 서울에 살아요.’ to the question of ‘누가 서울에 살아요?’
