Long explanation:
'이/가 [i/ga]' are postpositions used in Korean to mark the subject of a sentence. They are attached right after a noun to indicate that the noun is the subject of the sentence. The choice between '이' and '가' depends on whether the noun ends in a vowel or a consonant. If the noun ends with a consonant, '이' is used. If the noun ends with a vowel, '가' is used.
