hama71 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Before any writing you need to know basic alphabet or structure of language you are try to learn. Korean(한글han-gul) has 14 consonants(자음ja-eum) and 10 vowels(모음mo-eum). First, let us know what 14 consonants are. ㄱ(기역gi-yeog) ㄴ(니은 ni-eun) ㄷ(디귿 di-geud) ㄹ(리을 li-eul) ㅁ(미음 mi-eum) ㅂ(비읍 bi-eub) ㅅ(시옷 si-od) end written sound is S but coming out sound is D. ㅇ(이응 i-eung) ㅈ(지읒 ji-eud) end written sound is J but coming out sound is D ㅊ(치읓 chi-eud) end written sound is CH but coming out sound is D. ㅋ(키읔 ki-eug) end written sound is K but coming out sound is G. ㅌ(티읕 ti-eud) end written sound is T but coming out sound is D. ㅍ(피읖 pi-eub) end written sound is P but coming out sound is B. ㅎ(히잏 hi-eud) end written sound is H but coming out sound is D. With this there are double up one… for sound just ad Ssang in front. ㄲ(쌍기역 Ssang-gi-yeog) ㄸ(쌍디귿 Ssang-di-geud) ㅃ(쌍비읍 Ssang-bi-eub) ㅆ(쌍시옷 Ssang-si-od) ㅉ(쌍지읒 Ssang-ji-eud) And there is some consonants go together. This is most used in under. This one I will give you few examples. ㄳ – 삯(Saks) – wages ㄵ – 앉아(Anja) – Sit down ㄶ – 많이(Manhi) – a lot ㄻ – 닮았다 (Dalmassda) – looks like it ㄾ – 핥다(Haltda) - lick ㅄ – 밥값 (Babgabs) – meal price or money for meal But, same as English with out vowels consonants doesn’t make any words. So now let learn about 10 vowels. ㅏ(a) ㅑ(ya) ㅓ(eo) ㅕ(yeo) ㅗ(o) ㅛ(yo) ㅜ(woo / u) ㅠ(yoo / yu) ㅡ(eu) ㅣ(i) This vowels also mix together to work. ㅐ(ae) ㅒ(yae) ㅔ(e) ㅖ(ye) ㅘ(wa) ㅙ(wae) ㅚ(oe) ㅝ(wo) ㅞ(we) ㅟ(wi) ㅢ(ui) These are the most basic you need to know before structuring into word... Some people said Korean is most scientific language in the world. The building structure of Korean isn’t easy, but long as you know how to put consonants and vowels together it will be easy to put together. And the sound of the word will not change much at all... So what you write is what you get. So let built up some word. First, let use first consonant and vowel together. 가(ga) – Go! Even just one consonant and one vowel together made into the word. There are many other... Like 나(na) – I or Me, 다(da) – Everything, 라(la) – sound La, 마(ma) – it’s some kind of root veggie, 바(ba) – Bar, 사(sa) – Four, 아(a) – Ah, 자(ja) – Ruler, Go to sleep! 차(cha) – Car, 파(pa) – Dig or sound Fa, 하(ha) – laugh sound Ha Like this... even one work also could have many meaning. Also, you could put other consonant under this single word. 각(gak) – angle or each I will stop here for today. I don’t want you to over work on from first lesson. ^^ Next lesson will be making word with ㄱ as first letter... If you have any question on lesson or any word you want to know or make just ask. And for the lesson... because of my health I only can do one or two for a week or even less... --;; Sorry about that but, I will answer any question with or with out lesson soon as I can... Also, if you have any request on lesson let me know... I will try to do that also... So please remember this is only me doing it... you can also work along with me... ^^ 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this... 가방(ga-bang) Bag 방송(bang-song) broadcasting 송아지(song-a-ji) calf 지팡이(ji-pang-i) walking stick 이슬(i-seul) dew... Or should I start now? I wonder I how many people could do it if I start now? --;;;; Any way... I will try to find some way for people do enjoy making word... So... if any one want this game to go on... Please push thank you... If I get more then 10 people who is willing to go Then I will start the game... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hama71 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Making word 1… From basic of making word is always consonant first then vowel. 가게(ga-ke) – store, 가구(ga-goo) – furniture Also, you could add other consonant under. This call 바침(ba-chim). 감각(kam-gak) – sense, feeling, 관계(kwan-kye) – relationship For 바침(ba-chim) not only single consonant use, you also could use mix of consonants. 값(kapt) – price, 읽기(il-gi) – reading Mixing consonant and vowel to make a word, but also you could make a sound. Like baby making sound 가가구구(ga-ga-goo-goo)... Or describing something like putting nicely side by side... in Korean you only say 가지런히(ga-ji-run-hi) 놓다(not-ta)... There are lots of expressions that English can’t put in to word, but in Korean you can. Like baby’s walking... 뒤뚱뒤뚱 (twi-ttung-twi-ttung)... there isn’t any word like this in English. Only way is to tell in English is to fully explain it. It’s unstable walking looks like might fall into one side but not... But, you have to remember not all the mix match become word. There is no word 갛가 in Korean… ^^;;; So even you do mix match to make a word you still have to remember not everything become word. So with out Korean dictionary is little hard to know that you write is right word or not... But, not everyone has one... also even in the internet I don’t think there is English-Korean Dictionary. I do know there is Korean-English one... in Korean site... I think Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. is better then any other but not the best one... Sorry today lesson will stop from here... I will try to make it better lesson for next time... But, still I just don’t know what I have to teach... --;; Sorry being not good teacher for you… T T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 hey, I got a question. This ㅅ is S right? and this ㅆ is for ss. But there are several times I noticed that even the consonant D or T or P or B can become like this: ㅆ why is that? I tried reading korean manhwas and also tried writing them from Hangul to Romanization and vice-versa, but I noticed that instead of ㄱ or ㄷ or ㅂ etc., it's actually this: ㅆ so why is that? And I'm sorry for my english. Example, like this: 5 다섯(da-seot) 6 여섯(yeo-seot) isn't it supposed to be: da-seos ,since it's ㅅ and yeo-seos? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hama71 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well... what I write is how that soudn come out in real... If it's as first one it will stay as what it is... But, if it's in under one or end sound... they do change time to time... It's like english you lost s or t sound at end... But, in korean the under one is more then one consonants or what is ofter or befor do effect the sound... ㅅ and ㅆdo effect more then other... For written it should write as S but when you say it they most come out as T sound... I have to look for why they change that way... I try my best to make the sound close as it said in real... But, Korean and English sound are little different... So sometime is hard to give a right sound... Because when it come with the sound best is to hear it not read it... --;;; I hope this explain little bit... I will try to eplaine this sound change in other lesson later on... I also have to found out about why some sound chang in that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
