Hangul Demystified - Learn Hangul

[JoaNor]

Hello

This lesson will be on The Basic Grammatical Rules:

In Each Syllable, there must be at least one vowel and one consonant. Example: 가, 여, 김(2 cons, 1 vow) You can never have two consonants/vowels following eachother.

R/L: ㄹ, is pronounced R when it's the first letter of a syllable Ex. 라(Ra). ㄹ is Pronounced L when it's the last letter of a syllable Ex. 를(Reul)


I will edit this post later and add more Rules

[YounWha]

So if we are talking about simple words - three letter words
then it would be like this?

M - A - N
Cons - vowel - Cons
Since this word "man" is one syllable then it would be three symbols all put together.

So for "school" you said it would phonetically be "seu-kul"
which follows the Cons - vowel - Cons rule.

So if I wanted to write out a word phonetically to translate it I would have to make sure there were no vowels or cons back to back like "seu-kul"?

[YounWha]

Oh yeah - if I wanted to say "how are you" in korean to my grandmaster - could I say it like this:

(Phonectically)
Otoke Chin ejheyo

Man would be written "Maen" in Korean English - 맨(DUE TO PRONUNCIATION IN ENGLISH)

School would be SeuKul in Korean English, 스쿨((DUE TO PRONUNCIATION IN ENGLISH) /Remember the "Eu" is one letter/

Instead of saying this, you could just say "Annyeong Haseyo" (안녕하세요) This is used for "Hello, how are you?" Then He Will Probably Reply "Ne, Annyeong Haseyo ("네, 안녕하세요") which means Yes, Hello To You Too or he will just laugh his head off

Remember, Annyeong Haseyo should be used when you first meet him, not when you are having the "Interview"

More Rules :

When "S" is followed by ㅏ, ㅣ,ㅓ, the S is pronounced Sh. Ex: 시 would be Shi, not Si...

The Last Rules will be in the next update

Sorry, I found this particular interesting... maybe you can clear up my thinking about this a little.

1. I have been told that 'Annyeong Haseyo' is more like a formal greeting. When you say that it is only used 'the first time you meet him' does that mean that it more similar to a formal way of saying 'nice to meet you'? Or do you simply mean first time you see him on a particular day. (Spanish has something like this, when you first see someone on a particular meeting it is polite to say 'Buenos.')

2. I have also been told that a slightly more used and less formal expression is simply 'Annyeong.' Is this true?

My certificate literally has my grandmaster spell his first name M-A-N - how is that pronounced phonectically in korean?

1. Annyeong Haseyo could be said any time you meet a person, but you have to say it when you meet, not in the middle of the conversation It Basically Means (Not Literally) Hello, How Are You?. The Other Person would then reply "Ne, Annyeong Haseyo, which basically means(No literally) I'm Good, Hello To You Too.

2. Annyeong is used if you are greeting young children(Under the age of 12). Also in these days, Teens use Annyeong as a Slang for Hey/Hi.

Oh... I though you meant Man as in Male Person...

Man in Korean would be 만 which means ten thousand or Bay, depending on the situation...

What is the mans full name? (Your Grandmaster)

The Last Rules will be in the next update

Last Basic Rules Now:

When these letters(Under) are in the end of a syllable, they are pronounced:

K = ㄱ,ㄲ,ㅋ Example: 국: Guk, Not Gug
T = ㄷ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ, ㅎ Example: 맛: Mat, Not Mas
P = ㅂ, ㅍ Example: 밥: Bap, Not Bab

In the next lesson you will learn the Advanced vowels, and after that you will(Finally) learn how to create syllables
