Definition

Characteristics

• The cc tag connects preceding nouns or clauses to following nouns or clauses, indicating coordination. When connecting nouns and noun phrases within a sentence, the cc becomes dependent on the following phrase. When connecting clauses at the beginning of a sentence, the cc depends on the root of the sentence.
• Examples tagged with cc include “그리고” (and), “그러나” (but), and “그런데” (however), among others.
• Examples:
  • 나, 언니와 그리고 동생은 캠핑을 갑니다.
    (My sister, younger sibling, and I are going camping.)
  • 가격이 비싸요. 그러나 품질이 좋습니다.
    (The price is high; however, the quality is good.)
  • 그런데 가장 인기가 많은 음식은 뭐예요?
    (By the way, what is the most popular food?)
