Annotation
Korean connective tunci “or” evolved into a final particle executing suggestions.
Final tunci “or” can express suggestions, offers, requests, threats and criticisms.
Final tunci “or” relaxes preference organization like English or and Swedish eller.
Final tunci is intersubjectificed to express speaker's non-imposing open stance.
Final tunci “or” can carry prosodic final lengthening and pitch movement features.
