Fun facts about Korean👩💻!
When speaking, subjects are often omitted because of the context-driven nature of the language.
1. If the subject of a sentence is clear from the context, it is often omitted (I & you are mostly omitted). This makes sentences more concise.
2. Omitting the subject can also be a way to sound less direct, which aligns with Korean cultural norms.
3. In Korean, there’s more emphasis on the action or state described by the verb rather than the subject performing the action. This aligns with the Korean language’s subject-object-verb (SOV) structure, where the verbs appear at the end.
🫥One down side of this is if it’s used too much, it can bring misunderstanding & confusion. Example: “Wait, I thought you’re talking about him!” “Oh no, I was talking about her.” 😅
