Lesson 2: Making a Korean Word

Posted on July 19, 2010 by galbilover

Now we are going to make a word.

ㅇ+ㅏ+ㅂ+ㅓ+ㅈ+ㅣ= 아버지 (ah-bu-ji) It means father.
ㅇ+ㅓ+ㅁ+ㅓ+ㄴ+ㅣ= 어머니 (uh-mu-ni) It means mother.

Lots of the Korean letters have final consonants.

ㅎ+ㅏ+ㄴ+ㄱ+ㅜ+ㄱ= 한국 (han-gook) It means Korea.
ㅎ+ㅏ+ㄴ+ㄱ+ㅡ+ㄹ= 한글 (han-geul) It means Korean language

ㄱ+ㅏ+ㅇ+ㅇ+ㅏ+ㅈ+ㅣ= 강아지 (gang-ah-ji) It means puppy.

* In this case, the first ㅇsounds ~ng and second one has no sound.
