The modern standard of word classification and the one taught in public schools was chosen by South Korea's 1963 Committee on Education. This is the 9 pumsa (9품사) system, which divides words into nine categories called pumsa.[2][3]

The 품사 pumsa, also called 씨 ssi, are themselves grouped together according to the following outline.

Content words
Substantives
명사(名詞) myeongsa / 이름씨 ireumssi (nouns)
대명사(代名詞) daemyeongsa / 대이름씨 dae-ireumssi (pronouns)
수사(數詞) susa / 셈씨 semssi (number words)
Verbs (broadly speaking)
동사(動詞) dongsa / 움직씨 umjikssi (action verbs)
형용사(形容詞) hyeongyongsa / 그림씨 geurimssi (descriptive verbs or adjectives)
Modifiers
관형사(冠形詞) gwanhyeongsa / 매김씨 maegimssi (determiners, prenouns, or indeclinable adjectives)
부사(副詞) busa / 어찌씨 eojjissi (adverbs)
Other content words
감탄사(感歎詞) gamtansa / 느낌씨 neukkimssi (interjections or exclamations)
Function words
조사(助詞) josa / 토씨 tossi (particles or postpositions)
Both cardinal and ordinal numbers are grouped into their own part of speech. Descriptive verbs and action verbs are classified separately despite sharing essentially the same conjugation. Verb endings constitute a large and rich class of morphemes, indicating such things in a sentence as tense, mood, aspect, speech level (of which there are 7 in Korean), and honorifics. Prefixes and suffixes are numerous, partly because Korean is an agglutinative language.
