— Overview
A Korean particle, in this definition, is a part of speech that attaches to a noun, an adverb, or an ending and either marks the grammatical relation of that word to another, or helps its meaning. That system is treated as a distinctive feature of Korean, hard to find in the same way in other languages. Case particles set the relation of a noun or an adverb to the rest of the sentence, in kinds such as nominative, accusative, and genitive.
I/ga, in the example, marks a subject, eul/reul an object. Auxiliary particles, the account says, cannot be omitted, and are used in subject, object, and adverb positions; eun/neun, ya, and do are the examples given. Conjunctive particles link noun to noun in a coordinate relation: wa/gwa, hago, irang. The copular particle ida has a special shape, joining after a noun and serving as the predicate of the sentence. The sixteen example sentences promised in the title are not unpacked here, and are not invented. The same Korean report, at fuller length, is on CampusDown.
