Omitting Particles (?) Is it common in Korean to sometimes omit particles like 은 or 를?.. I'm practicing my writting by copying lyrics of songs to not get bored, and I keep finding several differences between what is said and the lyrics o_o for example; in the lyrics ---> 작은.. When they sing ---> 작..

Particles in Korean are often left out in spoken, but "은" as in "작은" is not a particle. The base form of "작은" is "작다" which is an adjective, and "은/는" is added before nouns to modify. e.g. 작다 + 새(a bird) => 작은 새(a small bird) 크다 + 새 => 크 + 은 + 새 => 큰 새(a big bird) \^o^/
