       “Ja” is redundant ;)

       Yes; that is, there's a technicality. As the pronoun is redundant (because verb's form is enough), using it makes it… stressed; I'm not sure, what would be direct spoken English equivalent, but in writing it's ~ difference between “I'm eating” and ”I am eating”.Still, the message is clear.

       hmm I think I get it. if someone is interrupting my meal trying to talk to me or something, I might say *I* am eating while giving them a stink eye
