Etymology 1
[edit]Imitative. Compare Arabic يَا (yā).
Interjection
[edit]야 • (ya)
- (colloquial, only to social equals or inferiors) hey!
- whoa; used to convey excitement.
Usage notes
[edit]- It is rude to use this to people of greater social status, or in formal contexts even to social inferiors. For example, an older sibling can use this to call a younger sibling, but the reverse is not possible.
Etymology 2
[edit]Sino-Korean word from 冶 (“(of a woman's look) seductive”).
Root
[edit]Prefix
[edit]- (colloquial) lewd, NSFW, porn, sexy
Derived terms
[edit]- See the hanja entry at 冶 for Sino-Korean compounds of 야 (冶, ya).
Etymology 3
[edit]Sino-Korean word from 野 (“countryside; out of office”).
Noun
[edit]- (politics) opposition party
Usage notes
[edit]- Usually written in hanja form in news headlines, even in contemporary text otherwise devoid of Chinese characters.
Derived terms
[edit]- See the hanja entry at 野 for Sino-Korean compounds of 야 (野, ya).
Etymology 4
[edit]Clipping of 야구 갤러리 (yagu gaelleori, “baseball subforum/'gallery' on the Korean internet forum DC Inside”).
Noun
[edit]야 • (ya)
- (Internet slang, humorous) (originally) blending element showing endearment.
- Antonym: 코 (ko)
- (Internet slang, humorous) (more generally) semantically light blending element for humor or emphasis.
- (Internet slang, humorous) (more generally) word representing some other monosyllabic noun
Usage notes
[edit]Originally, this was used in the DC Inside baseball gallery alongside its antonym 코 (ko), representing the rivaling comedy program gallery (코미디 프로그램 갤러리 (komidi peurogeuraem gaelleori)), as a blending element replacing the first syllable of two-or-more-syllable words to show endearment.
Eventually, the usage expanded such that this word became a semantically light blending element for a humorous or emphatic effect. It is sometimes even used for monosyllablic nouns, completely replacing the original word and leaving its meaning to be guessed from context. It is also commonly used to censor profanity or vulgarities.
Derived terms
[edit]Etymology 5
[edit]Modern Korean reading of various Chinese characters.
