8. Pronunciation Rules
Important Pronunciation Rules
Re-syllabification (Linking sound) 연음
When a following syllable starts with ㅇ, which has no sound value at the beginning of a syllable, the last consonant of the preceding syllable carries over:
맛있어 (it’s delicious) = [마시써] : both ㅅ and ㅆ are carried over to the following syllable
Last Consonant 받침 /bat-chim/
- The last consonant of a syllable (받침 /bat-chim/) is NOT RELEASED! Place your tongue where it should be to pronounce that consonant but stop. Do not actually make that sound.
- 받침 (last consonant) is pronounced as its representative basic consonant [ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅇ]
ㄱ, ㅋ = [ㄱ]
ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ = [ㄷ]
ㅂ, ㅍ = [ㅂ]
EXAMPLE: 꽃 = [꼳] - However, within one word or when there is a particle after the word, you pronounce the original sound of the consonant
EXAMPLE: 꽃이 (flower + subject particle) = [꼬치]
