express the right opinion, but also to ensure mutual
respect in conversation.
The main part
Korean is one of the agglutinative languages, and word
changes occur mainly by adding suffixes. In such
languages, pronouns are grammatically very important
and perform various functions in a sentence. Although
there are not many pronouns in Korean, their usage
and types have several features compared to pronouns
in other languages. This article will look at the types of
pronouns in the Korean language and their features.
The concept of a pronoun and its meaning, Pronouns
are one of the main word families in any language and
serve to replace words such as noun, adjective,
number. In Korean, pronouns, as in other languages,
help simplify communication by shortening words that
have a specific meaning in a sentence. Pronouns in the
Korean language perform different functions and
change certain grammatical forms depending on their
place in the sentence.
Types of pronouns in the Korean language
Pronouns in the Korean language are divided into the
following main types:
1.
Personal pronouns (
인칭
대명사
)
Personal pronouns in Korean are divided into first,
second and third person. Personal pronouns are used
in the plural and singular. Below are some examples:
-
o first person:
나
(na)
–
I,
우리
(uri)
–
we
-
o second person:
너
(neo)
–
you,
당신
(dangsin)
–
you (formal)
-
o third person:
그
(geu), he (the man),
그녀
(geunyeo)
–
she (the woman),
그들
(geudeul)
–
they
Personal pronouns often fall out of the Korean
language, especially if they are understandable in the
context of a sentence.
Demonstrative pronouns (
지시
대명사
)
Demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to a certain
thing or person. They help to point out nearby and
remote objects. The following examples are widely
used in Korean:
-
이
(i) is (something nearby)
-
그
(geu) is (a certain thing)
-
저
(jeo) is (something far away)
2.
Interrogative pronouns (
의문
대명사
)

In Korean, interrogative pronouns are used to refer to
words such as who, what, which. They are used to form
the meaning of a question in a sentence. The following
examples are common:
-
누구
(nugu) - who
-
무엇
(mueot) - what
-
어느
(eoneu) - which
Interrogative pronouns are used in interrogative
sentences together with words that express meaning
without presence
3. Personal pronouns (
재귀
대명사
)
The pronouns " I " express that a person or thing
performs an action in relation to itself. In Korean,
personal pronouns are used as follows:
o
자기
(jagi)
–
myself (in relation to a third person)
o
저
(jeo) - myself
These pronouns are especially used in sentences that
express themselves, and indicate that both the subject
and the object of the action are the same person.
4. Indefinite pronouns (
부정
대명사
)
Indefinite pronouns do not explicitly indicate a specific
person or thing, that is, they express an indefinite
Mano. Examples of indefinite pronouns in Korean:
a.
아무
(amu) - nodiv
b.
모든
(modeun) - everyone
c.
몇
(myeot) - several
–
several
1.
O These pronouns express uncertainty,
generality, or a finite number in a sentence.
Features of pronouns
The peculiarities of pronouns in Korean are related to
other grammatical rules of the language. Among them
are the main characteristics:
2. Forms of respect
The Korean language has multilevel forms of respect,
and pronouns also reflect this aspect. For example, the
second-person pronoun "
너
(neo)" is used informally,
"
당신
(dangsin)" is used in a more formal or
respectable form. This determines which pronoun to
use, depending on the situation of the conversation.
3. Context dependence
In Korean, pronouns can often fall out of a sentence if
they are understood in context. This is especially true
for personal pronouns. For example, if the subject in

the sentence is obvious, the personal pronoun is not
used in most cases.
4. Plural forms
There is a suffix in personal pronouns ."
들
(deul)" is
usually used to indicate the plural. For example, "
그들
(geudeul)" is "they", and "
너희들
(neohuideul)" is
"you". However, in some cases, the plural becomes
understandable through other elements in the
sentence even without using this complement.
CONCLUSION
In Korean, pronouns are closely related to the complex
grammatical structure of the language and forms of
respect. When constructing a sentence through a
person, indicative, interrogative, personal and
indefinite pronouns, communication is expressed
clearly and concisely. The types of pronouns and their
features discussed in this article testify to the rich
grammatical system of the Korean language. The
correct use of pronouns when learning Korean plays an
important role in communication and helps language
learners to further simplify communication.
