Editing Vocative case (section)

==Korean==
The vocative case in [[Korean language|Korean]] is commonly used with first names in casual situations by using the vocative [[marker (linguistics)|case marker]] {{lang|ko|(호격 조사) 아}} ({{Transliteration|ko|a}}) if the name ends in a consonant and {{lang|ko|야}} ({{Transliteration|ko|ya}}) if the name ends with a vowel:<ref>{{Cite journal|last=선철|first=김|date=May 2005|title='꽃아'의 발음|url=https://www.korean.go.kr/nkview/nknews/200505/82_6.html|journal=새국어소식 / 국립국어원}}</ref>

{{fs interlinear|lang=ko|number=1a.|미진이 집에 가?|Mijini jibe ga?|Is Mijin going home?}}
{{fs interlinear|lang=ko|number=1b.|미진'''아''', 집에 가?|Mijin'''a''', jibe ga?|Mijin, are you going home?}}
{{fs interlinear|lang=ko|number=2a.|동배 뭐 해?|Dongbae mwo hae?|What is Dongbae doing?}}
{{fs interlinear|lang=ko|number=2b.|동배'''야''', 뭐 해?|Dongbae'''ya''', mwo hae?|Dongbae, what are you doing?}}

In formal Korean, the marker {{lang|ko|여}} ({{Transliteration|ko|yeo}}) or {{lang|ko|이여}} ({{Transliteration|ko|iyeo}}) is used, the latter if the root ends with a consonant. Thus, a quotation of [[William S. Clark]] would be translated as follows:

{{fs interlinear|lang=ko|indent=2|소년'''이여''', 야망을 가져라.|sonyeon'''iyeo''', yamangeul gajyeora.|Boys, be ambitious.}}

The [[Korean honorifics|honorific]] infix {{lang|ko|시}} ({{Transliteration|ko|si}}) is inserted in between the {{lang|ko|이}} ({{Transliteration|ko|i}}) and {{lang|ko|여}} ({{Transliteration|ko|yeo}}).

{{fs interlinear|lang=ko|indent=2|신이'''시'''여, 부디 저들을 용서하소서.|sini'''si'''yeo, budi jeodeureul yongseohasoseo.|Oh god, please forgive them.}}

In [[Middle Korean]], there were three honorific classes of the vocative case:<ref>{{Cite journal|last=양영희|date=2009-12-01|title=중세국어 호격조사의 기능 고찰|url=http://scholar.dkyobobook.co.kr/searchDetail.laf?barcode=4010022922622|journal=사회언어학|volume=17|issn=1226-4822}}</ref>
