This study aims to explain the advanced process of the Korean final ending ‘-SO(-소)’, ‘-O(-오)’, ‘-JI(-지)’ and ‘-A/-EO(-아/-어)’. These morphemes were functioned two or more intention categories. The results as follows. First, I found the two or more functioned intentional final endings from the Underwood's 1893. But these morphemes was studied by Kwon Jae-il(2005). Second, the morpheme ‘-SO’ was used to declarative and imperative categories. And the morpheme ‘-O’ was used to declarative, imperative and interrogative intentions. The morpheme of ‘-JI’ was used to declarative and interrogative categories, and ‘-A/-EO’ was declarative and imperative intentions. Third, I guessed the formation of these grammatical function was related in the pre-final ending ‘-sʌp()-/-ʌp()-’. These morphemes functioned the respected to objects. But these morphemes weakened in the 19th century. So the ‘-SO’, ‘-ʌp-SO’ and ‘-O’ were neutralized the same degree. Fourth, ‘-JI’ was formed by the grammaticalization of the bound noun ‘dʌ()’. The morpheme ‘-JIO’ was ‘-JI-IO’, but the postpositional word ‘YO(요)’ formed in this time. As a results, the omitted form ‘-JI’ was functioned two or more intentional categories. Fifth, I guessed the formed of ‘-A/-EO’ was similar to other morphemes's functional change.
