German modal particles (in German: Modalpartikeln or Abtönungspartikeln) are a part of speech in the German language. These words have a dual function: reflecting the mood or attitude of the speaker or narrator, and highlighting the sentence focus. They are not inflected.
There are also other grammatical particles in German, similarly to other languages, which act as grammatical conjunctions, pro-sentences and interjections.
