windbabel 한글
ㄱ - (기역) Light "g" or "k," even lighter at the end
ㄴ - (니은) "n" sound
ㄷ - (디귿) light "d" or "t" sound
ㄹ - (리을) light "l" or rolling "r"
ㅁ - (미음) "m" sound
ㅂ - (비읍) light "b" or "p," lighter at the end
ㅅ - (시읏) light "s," "sh" before I and Y vowels
ㅇ - (이응) silent or "ng"
ㅈ - (지읒) light "j" between vowels, "ch" at the beginning
ㅊ - (치읓) "cha"
ㅎ - (히읗) "h" sound
ㅋ - (키읔) aspirated ㄱ, always "k" sound
ㅌ - (티읕) aspirated ㄷ, always "t" sound
ㅍ - (피읖) aspirated ㅂ, always "p" sound
ㅏ - "a" sound
ㅓ - "ea" O shape, A in Awe
ㅗ - "o"
ㅜ - "oo"
ㅡ - "eu" short u, back of mouth
ㅐ - "ae" rising inflection (toDAY)
ㅔ - "eh" flat inflection (meh)
bold letters make a soft "th" at the end of syllables
Note: ㅈ,ㅊ, and ㅅ have alternate depictions in handwriting to make writing them easier
These are the same strokes, but arranged in a pattern that requires less precision (i.e. the strokes that form the upside down v shape needn't meet precisely at the point of intersection, but rather near the center of the stroke. I am unclear if the precision bit is intentional, though I recognize this as a side effect that makes their formation easier to recognize/comprehend)
Journal Note: In general, the handwriting of letters is a less rigid interpretation as far as I can tell. That isn't to say the handwriting I've seen is messy or anything of the like, but rather I wonder, if I were to write as all of these guides tell me, my handwriting might appear more computerized/printed/digital than fluent writers. At any rate, writing is far from my primary concern here, hence my shift to a digital space being a viable alternative.
Native Numbers - Usage: Counting Things (Exceptions: Months, Time)
1 하나
2 둘
3 셋
4 넷
5 다섯
6 여섯
7 일곱
8 여덟
9 아홉
10 열
20 스물
30 서른
40 머흔
50 쇤
60 예순
70 일흔
80 여든
90 아흔
Combining: You simply account for the tens place name (ten, thirty, etc) then append the 1's place (twenty-ONE)
Examples:
15 - 열다섯
21 - 스물하나
53 - 쉰셋
79 - 일흔어흔
Special Rules: 1-4 and 20 change forms when counting
1 한
2 두
3 세
4 네
20 스무
Sino-Korean Numbers, Usage: date, days, years, months, money, phone numbers
1 일
2 이
3 삼
4 사
5 오
6 육
7 필
8 팔
9 수
10 십
0 영
100 백
1,000 펀
10,000 만
100,000,000 억
Examples:
20 - 이십 (2 10s)
21 - 이십일 (2 10s + 1)
100,000 - 십만 10 10,000s
1,000,000 - 백만 100 10,000s
Note: 10,000 is a defined constant in the same way that 10, 100, and 1,000 are. So is 100,000,000, which seems like a high constant, though theories suggest that this is common because it's the unit most applicable when buying housing.
Journal Note: This took about an hour to transcribe off of my handwritten notes, but it was a great opportunity to refamiliarize myself with this material. A large part of this was double checking pronunciation and spelling since my handwriting is a little messy and also I needed to relearn the logic behind it all. I think this was fairly comprehensive! Now I have something to refer to easily when I need to practice.
