이/가 Subject Something이/가 께서 존이 코가 커요 John

Front 존이 코가 커요
Back It is John whose nose is big
Notes The subject marker -이/가 may replace the possessive particle -의 in sentences like 'someone의 something이/가 is ...'. Similarly to the previous example, the resulting phrase becomes a double-subject sentence with more focus placed on the first subject: 'It is someone이/가 whose something이/가 is...'.
In casual speech, if the subject position is clear, and there is no need to mark the corresponding noun, -이/가 is often omitted.
When used with the -가 particle, pronouns 나, 저, 너, 누구 change to 내가, 제가, 네가 (often pronounced as 니가 in colloquial speech), and 누가, respectively.
-께서 is an honorific alternative of the -이/가 particle. -께서 is used when talking about an elder or higher status person.
