Hi!
Very nice website indeed, but I have one question:
why the particle 를 is transcribed as leul, since it’s never pronounced like this? ㄹsound between vowels is pronounced as “r”.
Anyway, keep up the good work!!
In Korean, there actually isn’t any “r” pronunciations. I know it’s confusing. I think some Romanization standards use r instead of l. I use “l” for all ㄹ.
My understanding is that in this instance it’s ‘leul’, but the pronounciation is nearer to an English ‘r’ when it appears at the start of a set of characters.
For instance, the ‘라’ in 라면 sounds more like ‘ra’ than for instance ‘열’ which is more like a pure L as it would be in English. So if a syllable starts with a ㄹ it’s more like an r (but different), and if it ends its basically an L. Try some combinations with NeoSpeech.
스티브와 나는 같은 학교에 다닙니다.
같은- are you able to use the subject marker/topic marker twice in a sentence? if so could you explain. and does wa and gwa connect to nouns in a sentence?
another way of saying 나의 is 내. right?
and another way of saying 너의 is 네 right? im not sure. can someone tell me.
