What are the basic units that make up a sentence?
WORDS!
Wow, you guys are so smart. [le claps]
Each word in a sentence has different functions. Korean has the following word classes, based on its grammatical function:
1 Nouns 2 Pronouns 3 Particles (that attached to a noun & indicate grammatical relationships or add special meanings) 4 Numbers and counters 5 Verbs 6 Adjectives (that indicate state or quality) 7 Copula (indicates equational expression: 이다 [ida] "be" and 아니다 [anida] "be not" 8 Adverbs 9 Prenouns (that appear before a noun e.g., this, that, these, those)
There are two categories in korean words: inflected and uninflected words. Inflection refers to a change in the form of a word such as adding affixes as a means to indicate grammatical features (e.g., tense, number, aspect, person.
For example, in English, the root word "write" becomes "writes" with the affix "-s" when used for a third person singular (e.g., "Joshua writes"). Another is, when the verb "open" becomes "opened" with the affix "-ed." This refers to inflection. Although these verbs end up having grammatical features (e.g., third person singular verb usage and past tense), their class does not change (e.g., verbs).
In Korean, verbs and adjectives are the category of words that ungdergoes inflection.
On the other hand, the category of words that do not undergo inflection or what we call, uninflected words and these are nouns, pronouns, numbers, adverbs, and prenouns.
Nouns refer to a part of speech that indicates a name of a thing, place, person, quality or action and they often serve as the subject and/or object of verbs and/or adjectives.
