Etymology 1[edit]
From Middle Korean 야〮 (Yale: -yá); see the main entry for more.
Particle[edit]
야 • (-ya)
- Post-vowel allomorphic form of 아 (-a, “hey”, vocative particle).
Usage notes[edit]
- For words formed by the suffix 이 (-i), the suffix is typically deleted and the vocative takes 아 (-a), e.g. 두꺼비 (dukkeobi, “toad”) > 두껍아 (dukkeob-a, “hey, toad”).
Etymology 2[edit]
Suffix[edit]
야 • (-ya)
- Alternative form of 어 (-eo, intimate-style suffix), used after the copulas 이다 (-ida, “to be”) and 아니다 (anida, “to not be”).
Usage notes[edit]
- Only used directly after the stems of 이다 (-ida, “to be”), either explicit or implicit, and its negative 아니다 (anida, “to not be”). If another suffix intervenes, the suffix reverts to 어 (-eo):
- Before 요 (-yo, politeness-marking particle attached to the intimate style), the form is again irregular 에요 (-eyo), and 이에요 (i-eyo) contracts to 예요 (-yeyo) following a vowel.
- It cannot replace 어 (-eo) in its infinitive/connective sense. The copulas' equivalent to connective 어 (-eo) is 라 (-ra), although 어 (-eo) can still be used.
Etymology 3[edit]
From Middle Korean ᅀᅡ〮 (Yale: -zá), from Old Korean 沙 (*-sa); see the main entry for more.
Particle[edit]
야 • (-ya)
- Post-vowel allomorphic form of 이야 (-iya, emphatic particle).
