What does this small word add to the message?
particle
의미
A small word can add a limit, surprise or a hint of the speaker's attitude to a message. Such words shape how a message is understood rather than naming a person, thing or action. Languages use different sets of these words, and not every language has a separate word for each job; endings or the voice can express similar effects. What a word applies to describes the reach of a word's meaning; Particles describes one kind of word that can have this effect.
