<b>Description:</b>
 
This article is a description of the morphology and semantics of Korean. For phonetics and phonology, see Korean phonology. See also Korean honorifics, which play a large role in the grammar.
Korean is primarily an agglutinative language, as can be seen especially in the section on verbs below.
Korean has personal pronouns for the 1st and 2nd person, with distinctions for honorifics. In the third person, it has demonstrative pronouns, which distinguish three distances.
The monosyllabic pronouns 나 na, 너 neo, 저 jeo add -i or -iga rather than the expected -ga to form the nominative case (see below). This produces the forms 내 nae, 네 ne, 제 je. However, because many Koreans have lost the distinction between the vowels ae and e, 네 ne "you" is dissimilating to 니 ni. The familiar pronoun 당신 dangsin is actually a noun, the Sino-Korean loanword 當身 "the aforementioned body". There are a large number of such pseudo-pronouns in Korean.
In colloquial Korean, the topic forms 나는 naneun "me" and 너는 neoneun "you" are contracted to 난 nan "me" and 넌 neon "you". Accusative 나를 nareul "me" contracts to 날 nal. The possesives 나의 na-ui "my" and 너의 neo-ui "your" contract to 내 nae and 네 ne.
