Korean practice

[profiterole_reads]

Since the first Korean practice post was successful, I've decided to make it monthly. I've also added a tag so that you can find the posts easily. Like last time, I'm going to make 3 question threads below (beginner, intermediate and advanced).

You can answer one or several prompts.
You can talk to one another.
You can also correct one another. Or just indicate "No corrections, please" in your comment if you prefer.

화이팅! <3

Ha. It's just that I remembered an old TTMIK podcast explaining subject and topic markers, in which they said if you use 은/는 in a compliment, it can be a bit rude because 은/는 implies contrast, so you're saying, like, "Your hair is pretty... (implied: unlike everything else about you)."

Very interesting! I had never encountered this nuance.

Though in this specific case, the icon is the only thing you see, so maybe it's not rude?

Yeah, this might be a situation where either works, idk. :)
