이 is another version of 가. 이 is used when the last letter of the word is a consonant. 가 is used when the letter is a vowel.
가/이 is the equvalent of Japanese が.

Where and how I can know what letter is a consonant or not? What do you recommend to me?
ㅣ (i) ㅓ (eo) ㅏ (a) ㅡ (eu) ㅜ (u) ㅗ (o) ㅐ (ae) ㅔ (e) + their "y'ed" versions (ㅕ,ㅑ,ㅠ,ㅛ,ㅒ,ㅖ) + the diphthongs (의,와,...)
Those are the vowels. Everything else is a consonant.
Hi i am really confused about yhe korean alphabet which they teach in duolingo . Please help me . I am big fan of BTS and i want to learn korean.
If you (or anyone) is interested in learning the korean alohabet more in depth than duolingk teaches, i cant recommend enough howtostudykorean.com. completely free and really simple to learn the alphabet, and it comes with audio pronunciation guides. I also recommend miss vicky's videos on YouTube. Within an hour you can learn fairly well the entire alphabet. I used a combination of the two to learn amd then just practiced reading through kpop lyrics and after some practice it becomes really simple. Good luck!!
As vogais são ㅏ ㅓ ㅣ ㅗ ㅜ ㅡ. Depois vem as vogais compostas ㅑㅕㅛㅐㅔㅠ. Quando tais vogais estão sozinhas, elas vem acompanhadas de ㅇ, o que facilita você identificar quando é vogal. Por exemplo, na palavra "안녕하세요" (annyeonghaseyo): se você reparar, o "안" começa com o "ㅇ". Sendo assim, tem-se uma vogal. Quando se encontra no final como em "녕", essa bolinha possui o som de "ng". Mas sempre que vier no inicio, você já vai conseguir identificar que ali há uma vogal. Eu recomendo você pegar um vídeo no youtube e aprender certinho. Não é difícil. Fighting!
Also, a word that "ends in a consonant" is one where the last syllable has something in the batchim (the bottom).
Word order for Korean is SOV, or Subject-Object-Verb.
So for the sentence 방이 집에 있습니다, it would translate literally to "The room in the house is."
방 = room 이 = subject particle 집 = house 에 = locative particle (i.e. in/at/to) 있습니다 = is/there is
an adjective would normally go somewhere near the beginning of the sentence ( near the Subject , since that is what is being described )
It depends, because Korean uses adjectives differently than English.
In "The man is big." (남자가 커요.), "big" is at the end of the sentence and conjugated similarly to verbs.
In "big man" (큰 남자), big is placed directly before the noun and is conjugated into a descriptive form.
It doesn't matter because if you say jib-e bang-i isseumnida, you'd be saying "At the house, there is the room." If you say bang-i jib-e isseumnida, you'd be saying "The room is in the house." Both meanings are synonymous, so you can say whichever one.
Hi! I think " 방은" means something like a room/rooms in general. But here they want to say THE room, so using 이 makes it more specific. Before I didn't understand the whole 이 가 은 는 thing but while using duolingo I noticed that that seem to be the case.
It's not wrong and it's even the "normal" sentence to use when you have no context...
Can someone explain why 이 and 은 are used in each sentences :
The room is in the house. = 방이 집에 있습니다. The mountain is in the park. = 산은 공원에 있습니다.
To me the 2 sentences are the same, just different words, so why does the particles change?
~는/은 is based off of comparing one thing to another. So the best way to think of it is as (as for.....)/(When it comes to....).
~이/가, when used with adjectives, in this case 있다, it is a basic statement. So the first sentence, 방이 집에 있습니다, the speaker is simply stating that "the room is in the house."
While in the sentence, 산은 공원에 있습니다, it means like "as for that mountain, it's in the park." So the speaker is differentiating the mountain supposedly from a different mountain. So to make it more clear, let's say you were talking to someone about how you guys want to go hiking on a mountain and you're deciding which mountain to go to. You looked up one mountain's location and it says that it is in a forest. Then you look up another one and it says that its in a park. Then it would be appropriate to say "산은 공원에 있습니다" because it is different to the mountain in the forest that you guys were previously talking about.

For Pete's sake I still cannot understand how to know which word comes first in these types of sentences
는/은 is a topic particle. It functions like wa in japanese. 이/가 are particles which mark the subject of the sentence.
So if we use "neun" that puts more emphasis on the subject instead of i/ga is that inaccitate to say? Also forgive me im unable to support Hangul on this keyboard
Whats is the order for these kind of sentences? I thought there was no order?
In fact if we say '집에 방이 있읍니다 ' or 방이 집에 있읍니다' is the same, I don't understand why here it's wrong
Im not understanding the order. In one test I wrote subj obj then verb but I said I was wrong because I didnt put the location before the subject. Next one comes I put location subj obj then verb and it was right. I did it the third time for this one and it told me I was wrong.
As far as I understand, the particles come after the subjects or objects they belong to. Maybe you just confused yourself and got it right by chance without really remembering what you really put there
i keep forgetting that the structure of Korean sentences in the opposite of English structure and its so frustrating
I heard that actually only the verb needs to be last, was that incorrect?

If you speak any Indo Iranian languages (which are a lot similar to Korean, than English) you'll know that the sentence makes sense if we put "jib-e" first so both are in fact correct. Some would argue that this answer is better when speaking.
집 = house and 에 is just a location particle, so if someone asks you where this specific room is, you say: 방이 집에 있습니다 = the room is IN THE house
Why is it with this sentence when I try to form it backwards like the other one it's not right.
Why does 잡에 comes before 있습니나? Is there something diffent about Korean grammar I dont understand?
Instead of sentence structure being SVO ( Subject-Verb-Object ) , it's SOV ( Subject-Object-Verb ) :))
So the last sentence I got was: The park is not in the ocean.
The word order was: Ocean (in)-Park (not)-is
Why is it for this one then: Room-house (in)-is
instead of House (in)-room-is ?
So when I say ''방이 집에..." it is something like ''what is in the house?'' ''THE ROOM IS IN THE HOUSE'' and when I say ''방은 집에..." it is "where is the room?" "IT IS IN THE HOUSE"??? (pls help)
This is how I understand it as well. 이 places the emphasis on room and 는 places the emphasis on house.
Is it wrong to say "집에 방이 있습니다" was it not this order when it was "There is a road in the park" ?
I think if you put house first then you're saying "the house has a room" which is slightly different nuance than "the room is in the house" if that makes sense.
If there's somebody who can speak Japanese, please help me. I am Japanese and I thought that Japanese sentence structure is just the same as one in Korean. We say 部屋が家にあります and that is exactly same as 방이 집에 있습니다, but we also say 家に部屋があります which is 집에 방이 있습니다. Why is the second one wrong? Furthermore, it's weird for us Japanese to use the first one, and we often use the second one. Is this one of those things that I should convince myself by saying "this is this, and that is that"?
"uchi ni heya ga arimasu" is also the way koreans would say it, but duo makes unnatural sentences. why? i don't know or understand.
if 방 is being emphasized, then we say 방이 집안에 있습니다, which i think would be "heya ga uchi no naka ni arimasu". (i studied japanese 20 yrs ago so i'm not 100% sure about my japanese)
the Korean sentence would be better translated as "the room is at the house". it could be translated "in/inside the house" but "안에" would likely be used.
the English sentence should be translated as "집 안에". the English is indicating location of "the room". if "room" were replaced with "dog," then "the dog is in/inside the house" would include "안에" to indicate "in/inside". if you were to say "개가 집에 있습니다," then it would be "the dog is at the house".
"방이 집에 있습니다" could be referring to a specific room that is at the house but not necessarily in the house; it could be a room in a separate structure outside "the house". the omission of 안 unduly creates confusion and uncertainty in learning a new language. it can be omitted and implied that "the room" is "in" the house, but it is lazy colloquial grammar for the sake of convenience.
그 방은 집에 있습니다 sounds a lot better to me because it translates better to "Regarding the room, in the house it exists."
Yall please dont confuse between pangi and pangu, pangi means room and pangu means fart
Why are the places not put in a sentence like in (안), on, beside, under? i.e..방은 집안에있다
yall have never taught me these sentences or how to set up a sentence so how do you expect me to do this. If it was common knowledge i wouldn't have to be using this platform.
I'm confused about when to use 이, 는, 가, 와, 과, 은 Can someone please explain them to me?
It wrong "방이 집 안에 있어요" means "the room is in the housd"
And "방이 집 있어요" mean "i have a room at house"
방이 집 있어요 is "the room has a house" (strange but grammatically correct.
if you mean 방이 집에 있어요, then it means "the room is at the house".
duo might also mark the change in formality for 있다 from 있습니다 to 있어요 as wrong.
Ok im so confused ❤❤❤ does 있습니다 mean because sometimes its "has" and sometimes its "there is" help me
있다 means "to be" (as in exists), but can also sometimes imply "to have" as well.
I can see everyone is confused so if you want to learn the korean alphabet you can search on YouTube i learned korean alphabet from this https://youtu.be/85qJXvyFrIc
