Korean Language/Grammar

'Is' noun-(이에/예)요

The noun-(이에/예)요 form is used like the English word 'is'. It means something is the noun. When the noun ends in a vowel 예요 is added. When it ends with a consonant 이예요 is added. For example:

의자예요. (It) is a chair. 책이에요. (It) is a book.

As Korean uses a subject-object-verb word order, and the subject may often be omitted when it is implied by the context, these examples are actually complete sentences.
