States one's occupation as a student.
خلفية ثقافية
Students often wear uniforms (gyobok) until high school. Being a student is seen as a time of 'suffering' for future success, especially during the Suneung (CSAT) exam period. The relationship between students is governed by age and year of entry. A 'Sunbae' (senior) is expected to take care of and often buy food for a 'Hoobae' (junior). The phrase '{학생|學生}이에요' is a powerful tool for budget travelers. Many cultural sites and even some restaurants near universities offer 'hak-saeng hal-in'. In modern Korea, many seniors attend 'Senior Universities' (no-in dae-hak). They proudly call themselves {학생|學生} to show they are still active and learning.
The 'I' is optional
In Korean, you don't always need to say '저는' (I). Just saying '{학생|學生}이에요' is perfectly natural if it's clear you're talking about yourself.
Watch the Batchim
If you say '{학생|學生}예요', it sounds like you're making a baby-talk mistake. Always remember the '이'!
