Editing Copula (linguistics) (section)

=== Korean ===
For sentences with '''predicate nominatives''', the copula {{lang|ko|이}} ({{transliteration|ko|i-}}) is added to the predicate nominative (with no space in between).

:{| border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1"
| align=left |  || align=right |  || align=left |
|-
| {{lang|ko|바나나는 과일이다.}}
| {{transliteration|ko|Ba-na-na-neun gwa-il-i-da.}} || {{gloss|Bananas are a fruit.}}
|}

Some adjectives (usually colour adjectives) are nominalized and used with the copula {{lang|ko|이}} ({{transliteration|ko|i-}}).

1. Without the copula {{lang|ko|이}} ({{transliteration|ko|i-}}):

:{| border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1"
| align=left |  || align=right |  || align=left |
|-
| {{lang|ko|장미는 빨개요.}}
| {{transliteration|ko|Jang-mi-neun ppal-gae-yo.}} || {{gloss|Roses are red.}}
|}

2. With the copula {{lang|ko|이}} ({{transliteration|ko|i-}}):

:{| border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1"
| align=left |  || align=right |  || align=left |
|-
| {{lang|ko|장미는 빨간색이다.}}
| {{transliteration|ko|Jang-mi-neun ppal-gan-saek-i-da}} || {{gloss|Roses are red-coloured.}}
|}

Some Korean adjectives are derived using the copula. Separating these articles and nominalizing the former part will often result in a sentence with a related, but different meaning. Using the separated sentence in a situation where the un-separated sentence is appropriate is usually acceptable as the listener can decide what the speaker is trying to say using the context.
