"To be": 이에요 / 예요
To say "X is Y", attach 이에요 after a consonant or 예요 after a vowel:
- 학생이에요 — (I) am a student
- 의사예요 — (I) am a doctor
The negative is 아니에요, with 이/가 on the noun: 학생*이 아니에요* — (I) am not a student.
저 and 는
저 is the humble "I". 저는 = "as for me" (the topic particle 는). Korean often drops the subject when it's obvious.
Korean word order is subject – object – verb: the verb is always last.
