Grammatical particle

<h2 id="modern-meaning">Modern meaning</h2> <p>In modern grammar, a particle is a <a href="/facts/Function_word/jPkUvM2l">function word</a> that must be associated with another word or phrase to impart meaning, i.e., it does not have its own lexical definition. According to this definition, particles are a separate <a href="/facts/Part_of_speech/WbQ89MHX">part of speech</a> and are distinct from other <a href="/facts/Word_class/WbQ89MHX">classes</a> of function words, such as <a href="/facts/Article_(grammar)/dLXmIPh1">articles</a>, <a href="/facts/Preposition/Bhz0tAMI">prepositions</a>, <a href="/facts/Conjunction_(grammar)/bKVVIpob">conjunctions</a> and <a href="/facts/Adverbs/gDhqt9np">adverbs</a>. Languages vary widely in how much they use particles, some using them extensively and others more commonly using alternative devices such as prefixes/suffixes, inflection, <a href="/facts/Auxiliary_verb/euozcMq3">auxiliary verbs</a> and word order. Particles are typically words that encode <a href="/facts/Grammatical_category/FwhkW1su">grammatical categories</a> (such as <a href="/facts/Negation_(linguistics)/JMkpne01">negation</a>, <a href="/facts/Grammatical_mood/QS8qwCPm">mood</a>, <a href="/facts/Grammatical_tense/reLNLa97">tense</a>, or <a href="/facts/Grammatical_case/5caTQalU">case</a>), <a href="/facts/Clitic/4A00CTek">clitics</a>, <a href="/facts/Filler_(linguistics)/beH7uoH5">fillers</a> or (oral) <a href="/facts/Discourse_markers/qFm34J0p">discourse markers</a> such as <i>well</i>, <i>um</i>, etc. Particles are never <a href="/facts/Inflection/mhXSXpmJ">inflected</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="afrikaans">Afrikaans</h2> <p>Some commonly used particles in <a href="/facts/Afrikaans/jYqEPHmA">Afrikaans</a> include: </p> <ul><li><i>nie</i>2: Afrikaans has a <a href="/facts/Double_negative/pFLANTxT">double negation system</a>, as in:</li></ul> <p>Sy</p><p>She</p><p>is</p><p>is</p><p>nie1</p><p>not</p><p>moeg</p><p>tired</p><p>nie2</p><p>PTCL.NEG</p><p>Sy is nie1 moeg nie2</p><p>She is not tired PTCL.NEG</p><p>'She is not tired'</p> The first <i>nie</i>1 is analysed as an adverb, while the second <i>nie</i>2 as a negation particle. <ul><li><i>te</i>: Infinitive verbs are preceded by the <a href="/facts/Complementiser/IXl8kzvp">complementiser</a> <i>om</i> and the infinitival particle <i>te</i>, e.g.</li></ul> <p>Jy</p><p>You</p><p>moet</p><p>must</p><p>onthou</p><p>remember</p><p>om</p><p>COMP</p><p>te</p><p>PTCL.INF</p><p>eet</p><p>eat</p><p>Jy moet onthou om te eet</p><p>You must remember COMP PTCL.INF eat</p><p>'You must remember to eat'</p> <ul><li><i>se</i> or <i>van</i>: Both <i>se</i> and <i>van</i> are <a href="/facts/Genitive/nMXh3StK">genitive</a> particles, e.g.</li></ul> <p>Peter</p><p>Peter</p><p>se</p><p>PTCL.GEN</p><p>boek</p><p>book</p><p>Peter se boek</p><p>Peter PTCL.GEN book</p><p>'Peter's book'</p> <p>die</p><p>the</p><p>boek</p><p>book</p><p>van</p><p>PTCL.GEN</p><p>Peter</p><p>Peter</p><p>die boek van Peter</p><p>the book PTCL.GEN Peter</p><p>'Peter's book'</p> <ul><li><i>so</i> and <i>soos</i>: These two particles are found in constructions like</li></ul> <p>so</p><p>PTCL.CMPR</p><p>groot</p><p>big</p><p>soos</p><p>PTCL.CMPR</p><p>'n</p><p>a</p><p>huis</p><p>house</p><p>so groot soos 'n huis</p><p>PTCL.CMPR big PTCL.CMPR a house</p><p>'as big as a house'</p> <h2 id="arabic">Arabic</h2> <p>Particles in Arabic can take the form of a single root letter before a given word, like "-و" ('and'), "-ف" ('so') and "-ل" ('to'). However, other particles like "هل" (which marks a question) can be complete words as well.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="chinese">Chinese</h2> <p class="note">See also: <a href="/facts/Chinese_particles/6aV6eLC1">Chinese particles</a></p> <p>There are three types of zhùcí (助詞; particles) in Chinese: Structural, Aspectual, and Modal.

Modal particles include <i>ja, halt, doch, aber, denn, schon</i> and others. Some of these also appear in non-particle forms. <i>Aber</i>, for example, is also the conjunction <i>but</i>. In <i>Er ist Amerikaner, aber er spricht gut Deutsch</i>, "He is American, but he speaks German well," <i>aber</i> is a conjunction connecting two sentences. But in <i>Er spricht aber gut Deutsch!</i>, the <i>aber</i> is a particle, with the sentence perhaps best translated as "What good German he speaks!"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> These particles are common in speech but rarely found in written language, except that which has a spoken quality (such as online messaging).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="hindi">Hindi</h2> <p>There are different types of particles present in <a href="/facts/Hindi/n1QIEeCC">Hindi</a>: emphatic particles, limiter particles, negation particles, affirmative particles, honorific particles, topic-marker particle and case-marking particles.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> Some common particles of Hindi are mentioned in the table below: </p> <table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4">Hindi particles</td></tr><tr><th>Type</th><th>Particles</th><th scope="col">Notes</th><th>Sentences</th></tr><tr><th>Emphatic<p>Particles<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> </p></th><td><ul><li>ही (<i>hī</i>) — Exclusive Emphatic Particle</li><li>भी (<i>bhī</i>) — Inclusive Emphatic Particle</li><li>यूँ (<i>yū̃</i>) — Manner Emphatic Particle</li></ul></td><td>ही (<i>hī</i>) can roughly be translated as "only", "just", "alone" etcभी (<i>bhī</i>) can roughly be translated as "also", "too", "can't even" etc</td><td><ol><li>बस कॉफ़ी ही लेके आये?
