Korean case markers #

Korean marks case with postpositional particles, which Sohn treats as bound words rather than clitics, several with allomorphs chosen by the final segment of the noun: the nominative -i after a consonant and -ga after a vowel, the accusative -eul and -reul, the genitive -ui, the dative -ege, colloquially -hante and to a social superior -kke, the locative -e of a state and goal and -eseo of an action and source, the ablative -buteo, the instrumental and directional -(eu)ro, and the comitative, formal -gwa and -wa and informal -hago and -(i)rang ([Soh99], p. 339). Casual speech drops the nominative, accusative, genitive and dative particles. Forms are in the Revised Romanization; Sohn writes ka, (l)ul, uy, eykey, hanthey, kkey, ey, eyse, pwuthe, (u)lo and (k)wa.
