Kyoraemal Grammar and Syntax

Kyoraemal Grammar is defined by its core principles: 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 and Core Principles

  • Word Order: Kyoraemal uses the standard **SOV** (Subject-Object-Verb) structure.
  • Egalitarianism: The language strictly avoids all forms of *jondaetmal* (honorific/deferential speech). All speakers use the same verb forms.
  • Lexical Source: The lexicon is built exclusively on **native Koreanic roots**, avoiding Sino-Korean (Hanja) words.

A. Vowel Harmony and Poetics (Heureumsi)

The language uses Vowel Harmony as an aesthetic principle that governs formal and poetic speech, particularly within its official poetic style, **Heureumsi** (흐름시 - Flowing Verse), which is based on a three-foot rhythmic pulse.

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, Heavy, Earth

II. Particles and Markers

A. Non-Hierarchical Final Particles (Tonal)

These particles attach to the verb stem or end of a clause to convey the **tone or intent**, not social status.

Particle Function / Meaning Example
-소 ( -so) **Sincerity and Conviction.** 옳다소 (It is correct, I assure you.)
-오 ( -o) **Softening / Contextual Deference.** 평안이오 (Peace/Hello, softening.)
-세 ( -se) **Shared Action / Cooperation.** 가세 (Let's go together.)

B. Grammatical Particles (Nouns)

Particle Function Example
-이 ( -i) / **-는** ( -neun) **Subject** / **Topic** Markers. 사람이 / 사람은 (the person as subject / as for the person)
-을/-를 (-eul/-reul) **Object** Particle. 밥을 먹다 (eat the meal)
-의 ( -ui) **Possessive** Particle. 나의 (my)
-(으)ㅁ이 ( -(eu)m-i) **Adverbial** Particle (from verb/adj stem). 꿋꿋이 (stoutly/firmly)
-와/-과 (-wa/-gwa) **Conjunction** (linking nouns). 해와 달 (sun and moon)
-으로 ( -euro) **Adverbial** (To/Towards). 집으로 (to the house)

III. Verb and Adjective Conjugations

Adjectives are verbal and conjugate identically to verbs. The base form ends in **-다** (-da).

Tense/Mood Conjugation Rule Example
**Declarative (Present)** Base form **-다** (-da). 먹다 (He eats.)
**Interrogative (Question)** **-ㄴ가** (-n-ga). 먹는가? (Are you eating?)
**Imperative (Command)** **-라** (-ra). 먹어라! (Eat!)
**Past Tense** **-았-** (yang) or **-었-** (yin/neutral) + **-다**. 먹었다 (ate), 갔다 (went).
**Future Tense** **-을-** (yin/neutral) or **-알-** (yang) + **-다**. 먹을다 (will eat), 갈다 (will go).
**Adjectival Clause** **-은** (consonant) / **-ㄴ** (vowel) 큰 나무 (a big tree)
**Verb Conjunction** Verb stem + **-고** (-go) 먹고, 간다. (He eats and goes.)

IV. Negation and Existential Verbs

Kyoraemal uses 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 / "To not exist"** **없다** (eopda) 돈이 없다 (There is no money.)

V. Core Cultural and Lexical Systems

A. Respect and Kinship Terms

| **-님** ( -nim) | **Reverence Marker** for spiritual entities/high expertise. | **어버이** (eobeoi) | Parent (Father or Mother) | **짝** (jjak) | Spouse/Partner | **결속** (gyeolsok) | Family (Unit)

B. Quantitative and Spatial Systems

System Kyoraemal Term Meaning
**Zero/None** **없음** (eopseum) Zero / Non-existence
**Anchor (1,000)** **즈믄** (jeumeun) One Thousand
**Anchor (10,000)** **열즈믄** (yeoljeumeun) Ten Thousand
**East** (Blue) **푸른곳** (pureungot)
**West** (White) **흰곳** (huingot)
**South** (Red) **붉은곳** (bulgeungot)
**North** (Black) **검은곳** (geomeungot)
