The significance of word origin in Korean

Korean

Sino-Korean and Native Korean affixes cannot generally be applied to base words of the other origin:

일반적으둜 ν•œμžμ–΄ ν˜•νƒœμ†ŒλŠ” ν•œμžμ–΄ ν˜•νƒœμ†Œμ™€ κ²°ν•©ν•˜κ³  κ³ μœ μ–΄ ν˜•νƒœμ†ŒλŠ” κ³ μœ μ–΄ ν˜•νƒœμ†Œμ™€ κ²°ν•©ν•œλ‹€.

Generally, Sino-Korean morphemes combine with Sino-Korean morphemes and native morphemes combine with native morphemes.
