Kyoraemal Grammar and Syntax
Kyoraemal Grammar is defined by its foundational principle: the complete elimination of Confucian-era **honorifics** and reliance on **pure native Koreanic** roots. It features an egalitarian sentence structure that values sincerity and shared intent over social hierarchy.
I. Foundational Structure
- Word Order: Kyoraemal uses the standard **SOV** (Subject-Object-Verb) structure (e.g., *Subject* + *Object* + *Verb* + *Particle*).
- Egalitarianism: All speakers, regardless of age or status, use the same verb endings and particles. The language avoids all forms of *jondaetmal* (honorific/deferential speech) in favor of tonal particles.
A. Poetic and Aesthetic Principles
Kyoraemal incorporates aesthetic constraints that govern formal and poetic speech, particularly within its official poetic style, **Heureumsi** (흐름시 - Flowing Verse).
| Aesthetic Term | Vowels Used | Connotation |
|---|---|---|
| 밝은소리 (Balgeun-sori) | ㅏ, ㅗ (Bright Vowels) | Light, Loud, Active, Quick, Fire |
| 짙은소리 (Jiteun-sori) | ㅓ, ㅜ, ㅡ (Deep Vowels) | Dark, Soft, Passive, Slow, Earth |
II. Non-Hierarchical Final Particles
These particles convey the **tone or intent** of the statement, rather than the social status of the listener.
| Particle | Function / Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -소 ( -so) | **Sincerity and Conviction.** Used to express certainty or belief. | 옳다소 (It is correct, I assure you.) |
| -오 ( -o) | **Softening / Contextual Deference.** Used to make a statement or question gentler or more polite. | 평안이오 (Peace/Hello, softening.) |
| -세 ( -se) | **Shared Action / Cooperation.** Used when proposing an action to be done together. | 가세 (Let's go together.) |
| -님 ( -nim) | **Reverence Marker.** Used as a suffix to certain nouns (like 하늘님) to show deep, non-hierarchical respect to a spiritual entity or revered concept. | 하늘님 (The Supreme Deity/Heaven.) |
| -(으)ㅁ이 ( -(eu)m-i) | **Adverbial Particle.** Used to turn a verb or adjective root into an adverb. | 힘씀에 고맙소 (Lit: Thankful for the effort/act of exerting strength.) |
III. Negation and Existential Verbs
Kyoraemal relies on native roots for all negation.
| Type | Kyoraemal Form | Usage Example |
|---|---|---|
| Inability (Short) | 못 (mot) + Verb | 못 하오 (I cannot do it.) |
| General Negation (Long) | Verb stem + **아니하다** (ani-hada) | 흐르지 아니하오 (It does not flow.) |
| Absence | **없다** (eopda) | 끝이 없이 (Without end / To not have existence.) |
IV. Core Verbal Roots
The language relies on fundamental native verbs for its core actions.
| Kyoraemal Root | Pronunciation | English Meaning | Notes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 살다 | salda | To live | |||||
| 솟다 | sotda | To rise / To soar | |||||
| 흐르다 | heureuda | To flow | 하다 | hada | To do / To be (auxiliary) | Used as a base for many actions. | |
| 돌보다 | dolboda | To care for / To look after |
