#korean batchim

Today, i'll teach you how do you pronounce when you have two consonants at the end of a syllable. It's more easy than you can think, and you will get used to it very soon.

I'll give you the examples first, and then, how do you have to pronounce it.

넋, 앉, 값, 많, 싫, 여덟, 곬, 핥, 닭, 삶, 읊.

As you can see, all of them have two consonants at the bottom of the syllable, and only one of them sounds when you speak.

Then, how you pronounce all of it?

Following the same order, we have all of this. You just have to learn these. The red ones are what you pronounce when you speak.

ㄱㅅ - ㄴㅈ - ㅂㅅ - ㄴㅎ

ㄹㅎ - ㄹㅂ - ㄹㅅ - ㄹㅌ

ㄹㄱ - ㄹㅁ - ㄹㅍ

So, when you say 넋 you are saying "넉" (it's not the same word, it's just how it sounds; keep this in mind, please!!!!)

There are some exceptions for this rule:

If a word comes with ㄺ followed by ㄱ.

If the next syllable beggins with a vowel.

If you haven’t learn 한글, which is lesson 2 then do that first then come back to this lesson. 

Batchim: Is a grammatical feature. It’s a consonant placed at the bottom and pronounced at the end in a Korean syllable block. 

Batchim (받침) mean support or prop because it supports other letters from below. You can’t distinguish which one is a 받침 or not with rominized Korean. You can see a big difference when you compare Korean language.

Rules:

ㅇ: 

If a syllable ends in  ㅇ → Rule:ㅇ makes an “ng” sound → Example: 사랑 (sa-rang)  

If a syllable ends in ㅎ and is followed by ㅇ → Rule: ㅎ is silent → Example: 맗이 (ma-ni)

If 받침 is followed by ㅇ → Rule: 받침 is carried over to replace the silent ㅇ → Example: 먹어요 becomes into → 머거요 (meo-geo-yo)

ㅌ: 

If syllable ends in ㅌ and is followed by 이 → Rule: Makes 치 (Chi) sound → Example: 같이 →  가치 (Ka-chi)

ㄷ: 

If syllable ends in ㄷ and is followed by 이 → Rule: Makes 지 (Ji) → Example: 귿이 → 구치 (Gu-chi)

ㄹ: 

If syllable ends in ㄹ → Rule: If followed by a constant: makes a L sound. If followed by: ㅇ: Make (kind of) r sound →  Examples: 살다 (sal-da) & 살아요 (Sa-ra-yo) (kind of a rolled r sound but shorter and tighter) 

Rule: Some consonant rules 

Combination: ㄴ + ㄹ →  Rule: Makes ㄹ + ㄹ sound → Example: 운래 → 월래 (wol-lae)

Combination: ㄹ + ㄱ →  Rule: Make just ㄱ sound & it ㄹ + ㄱ + ㄷ, then makes a ㄱ + ㄸ sound → Examples: 닭 →  닥 (dak) & 읽다 →  익따 (ik-dda)

Combinations: ㅅ + ㄷ →  Rule: Makes ㄸ sound → Example: 없다 →  업따 (eop-dda) 

The most requested, long awaited post is finally here. Batchim. God’s gift and curse to all Korean learners. Even the word itself is a perfect example of how complicated Batchim (받침) is to foreigners / Korean Second Language (KSL) learners. For those that don’t know, Batchim is the bottom or lower position in a Korean syllable. I will show you the final consonants to understanding and pronouncing Batchim – along with some tips and tricks!

Hoy te enseñaré como se pronuncia en coreano cuando hay dos consonantes al final de una sílaba. Es más fácil de lo que imaginas, y te harás muy pronto con ello.

Primero daré los ejemplos, y después, como se debe pronunciar.

넋, 앉, 값, 많, 싫, 여덟, 곬, 핥, 닭, 삶, 읊.

Como puedes ver, todos ellos tienen dos consonantes al final de la sílaba, y solo una de ellas suena cuando hablas.

Así que, ¿cómo se pronuncian?

Siguiendo el orden de arriba, tienes las siguientes. Solo tienes que aprenderte estas. Las señaladas en rojo son las que se pronuncian.

ㄱㅅ - ㄴㅈ - ㅂㅅ - ㄴㅎ

ㄹㅎ - ㄹㅂ - ㄹㅅ - ㄹㅌ

ㄹㄱ - ㄹㅁ - ㄹㅍ

Así que, cuando quieres decir 넋 estás pronunciando "넉" (no es la misma palabra, es solo como se pronuncia; ten esto en cuenta, ¡¡¡¡`pr favor!!!!)

Hay dos excepciones para estas reglas:

Si una palabra tiene ㄺ seguido de ㄱ.

Si la siguiente sílaba empieza con vocal.

Today's lesson it's a bit difficult, but if u need help, feel free to ask me and i'll help you with some examples.

What is Batchim? It's a consonant placed at the bottom and pronounced at the end in a Korean syllable block, and it's has it's own pronunciation, so be very careful.

ㄱ ㄲ ㅋ sounds like ㄱ.

누박 / 밖 / 부엌

(watermelon / outside / kitchen)

All of them sounds like g/k at the end.

ㄴ sounds like ㄴ.

잔 / 난

(glass / i)

All of them sounds like n at the end.

ㄷ ㅌ ㅅ ㅆ ㅈ ㅊ ㅎ sounds like ㄷ.

곧 / 끝 / 옷 / 있 / 낮 / 꽃 / 낳

(Soon / end / clothes / to be/to have / day / flower / give birth)

All of them sounds like d/t at the end.

ㄹ sounds like ㄹ.

달 / 길

(moon / street)

All of them sounds like r/l at the end.

ㅁ sounds like ㅁ.

밤 / 금 (Night / gold) All of them sounds like m at the end.

ㅂ sounds like ㅂ / ㅍ.

밥 / 앞 (rice / front (position)) All of them sounds like b/p at the end.

ㅇ sounds like ㅇ.

I have seen some people teach the batchim rules a little differently than I did. I told you that all these letters: ㅌㄷㅊㅈㅅㅆ sound like T in the batchim, but others say that these letters sound like D in the batchim. The reason for the discrepancy, as I described in an earlier lesson, is that Koreans don't put a big "tuh" at the end of their Ts. So, it does end up sounding a little bit like a D. In fact Koreans do not put a big aspiration at the end of any syllable. So, you will also notice the K sounds a bit like a G. But, bottom line, I think it is better to think of these as an unaspirated T(ㅌㄷㅊㅈㅅㅆ), or unaspirated K(ㅋㄱ).
