Grammatical particle
TYPICALLY SHORT AND INDECLINABLE WORD WITH A GRAMMATICAL FUNCTION BUT NO CLEAR PART OF SPEECH
Grammatical particles; Particle (grammar); Particle (linguistics); Turkish particles
In grammar, the term particle (abbreviated ) has a traditional meaning, as a part of speech that cannot be inflected, and a modern meaning, as a function word associated with another word or phrase, generally in order to impart meaning. Although a particle may have an intrinsic meaning, and indeed may fit into other grammatical categories, the fundamental idea of the particle is to add context to the sentence, expressing a mood or indicating a specific action.
