#Bottom consonant thing
21 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
im a little busy due to personal reasons so i cant link anything or explain much but i think you might be referring to batchim (받침) here?
if you are, you can search up the term and find various explanations
||or maybe someone here will take their time to explain the basics hahah||
so here are the groups to each final consonant sound they make:
ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ = [ㄱ] sound
ㄴ = [ㄴ] sound
ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ = [ㄷ] sound
ㄹ = [ㄹ] sound
ㅁ = [ㅁ] sound
ㅂ, ㅍ = [ㅂ] sound
ㅇ = [ㅇ] sound
examples:
- 잇, 잊, 잋, 잍, etc. all make the same [읻] sound
- 깁, 깊 both make the same [깁] sound
- 각, 갘, 갂 all make the same [각] sound
but there are final consonant rules (aka batchim rules) such as the linking rule
where 깁이 is pronounced [기비]
so the ㅂ gets carried over since the head letter ㅇ does not make any sound
and there are many other rules which I don't think are necessary to memorize each, but there should be some helpful online resources that cover them
thank u this was really helpful! But should I memorize the top consosants and vowels first? Also is ㄹ L in batchim? Because videos were saying it was along with ㄱ being k
yes you should familiarize yourself with top consonants first!
and one important thing to note is that Korean sounds ≠ English sounds
the most efficient way to learn the sounds must be listening to native speakers (such as on youtube) saying words out loud while following along, and continue practicing
If you have some trouble understanding the ㄹ pronunciation while studying Korean, then you can give it a try by just watching this short video for you! Thanks!
here's one on ㄹ
Ok
Ignore everything
That everyone else has said here
Learn the ACTUAL names of the characters
ㅂ is bieup
So it makes a B sound in first position and a P sound in second position
And its the same for every other character
Which is why single characters have different pronunciation
But also the final consonant rules above ^
