PART: particle

Definition

Particles are function words that must be associated with another word or phrase to impart meaning and that do not satisfy definitions of other universal parts of speech (e.g. adpositions, coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions or auxiliary verbs). Particles may encode grammatical categories such as negation, mood, tense etc. Particles are not inflected. The only exception are mood particles and ոչ as independent negation particle, inflect for Polarity.

Note that particles like այո “yes”, ոչ, չէ “no”, անշուշտ “sure”, etc. as response words (as feedback particles) are considered as interjections under the UD standard.
