subject: 제가 · object: 저를 · my: 제 (제 이름)
I, me (humble, polite)
Example
제 이름은 마이클이에요. 저는 미국 사람이에요.
My name is Michael. I'm American.
Word parts
Humble 'I' (casual: 나); 제 = my.
Good to know
Use 저 whenever you speak politely. With 가 it becomes 제가, never 저가.

that (over there, far from both)
Example
저 사람이 우리 선생님이에요.
That person over there is our teacher.
Word parts

Same spelling as 저 'I (humble)'. Before a noun it means 'that over there'.
