Notes The comparison is frequently made with something implied and not explicitly stated. -은/는 can be used to mark the contrasted part to imply the existence (or absence) of other options. The -는데(요) verb ending can emphasize the sense of implication. It is important to use -은/는 carefully to avoid undesired or inappropriate implications.
