Part 2

In addition to marking topics;

은[eun] / 는[neun] » has the nuance of *about* something, *as for* something, or even *unlike other things* or *different from other things* .

이[i] / 가[ga] » has the nuance of *none other than* *nothing but* and also, when used inside a complex sentence, the role of marking the subject without emphasizing it too much
» emphasize what subject of the verb *to be * is.

Examples
1. 이 거사과예요.[i-geo-sa-gwa-ye-yo.]
=This is an apple.
subject=이거 ..ending with a vowel.

이거는사과예요.[i-geo-Neun-sa-gwa-ye-yo.]
= (The other things are not apples,but) This is an apple.

2. 이거는오렌지주스예요.[i-geo-Neun-o-ren-ji-ju-seu-ye-yo.] = (And this one,it's different again) It's orange juice.
