Pergunta sobre Coreano

When saying "Friend is not Korean" or something along those lines, why do you say 친구는 instead of 친구가? Isn't "friend" the subject and "Korean" the topic? Furthermore, aren't you describing the friend as Korean, so wouldn't 친구가 be more appropriate? Thanks! :) Korean is so much fun!

'은/는' makes verb subject. It would be appropriate to use '친구는' than '친구가'.

I'm still a bit confused. Why would you say 친구는 when describing a friend as Korean but 야챼가 when describing vegetables as tasty, for example? Both are describing things, so I would assume both would use 는?

It's hard to describe differences between (은/는) and (이/가) even for natives. If you use "야채는 맛있다", it sounds like you makes definition for vegetables. (It sounds like nothing is tasty but vegetables.) If your intention is 'just casual talk', you would use "야채가 맛있다."
