They’re my parents in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

"저분들은 제 부모님이에요." translates as "They’re my parents." Here’s the word-by-word breakdown:

• 저분들 (jeobundeul)
 – 저 (jeo): a demonstrative meaning "that," used for things/people far away.
 – 분 (bun): an honorific word for "person."
 – 들 (deul): a plural marker ("-s"), so "저분들" means "those people" (with respect).

• 은 (eun)
 – A topic marker attached to “저분들” to indicate that “those people” is the topic of the sentence.

• 제 (je)
 – A humble form of "my." It comes from “저” when referring to oneself respectfully.

• 부모님 (bumonim)
 – 부모 (bumo): means "parents" (literally "father and mother").
 – 님 (nim): an honorific suffix, elevating the noun’s respect. Together, "부모님" is the respectful way to say "parents."

• 이에요 (ieyo)
 – The polite, informal conjugation of the copula “이다” (ida), meaning "are" in this context.

Tips to remember:
• Recognize that Korean often marks the topic of a sentence with 은 or 는, which in this case is attached to the noun for “those people” (저분들).
• Memorize that 제 is the humble equivalent of 내 ("my"), used to show respect when speaking about one’s family.
• Note that 부모님 uses 님 to show honor toward parents; many family terms in Korean can carry honorific endings.
• The copula 이에요 is used in polite speech; regular usage in everyday conversation makes this form very common.

Alternate ways to say "They're my parents":
• 저 사람들은 제 부모님이에요.
 – "저 사람들" also means "those people" (less formal than "저분들") but is still acceptable in casual respectful conversation.
• 그 분들은 제 부모님이에요.
 – "그 분들" uses 그 ("that") with 분들, which is another respectful option when referring to people.

Romanized, the original sentence is:
 jeobundeureun je bumonimieyo.
