- Korean
나 is 1st singular.
It can both mean I and me
so you have to put subject marker or object marker in order to make it clear whether 나 is used as a subject or object.
는 is one of the subject markers.
so, 나+는 becomes 나는 and it means I
eg. 나는 학생이다
I am a student
나는 is often contracted to 난, which is similar case with English, like we say I'm instead of I am.
When 나 is used without any subject or object markers, then it can mean both I and me so you should be careful.
eg.
A : 이거 가질 사람?
B : 나
A : Who wants this?
B : I
eg.
A : 그 사람이 사귀는 애가 누구야?
B : 나
A : Who is he dating?
B : Me.
