음절 규칙(Syllabels: This is how syllabels were formed)

 

The image I've uploaded outlines the structure of Korean syllables and demonstrates how they are formed using consonants and vowels.

In Korean, a syllable typically comprises at least one consonant and one vowel, and syllables are arranged in blocks.
Here's a detailed explanation in English, with an analysis of the syllables '나', '노', '아', '오', '밥', '문', '안', and '웅', along with five examples for each type:





Consonant + Vertical Vowel (CV)
나 ('na')
'ㄴ' ( n ) is the consonant. 'ㅏ' (a) is the vertical vowel.
다 ('da'): 'ㄷ' (d) + 'ㅏ' (a)
가 ('ga'): 'ㄱ' (g) + 'ㅏ' (a)
마 ('ma'): 'ㅁ' (m) + 'ㅏ' (a)
자 ('ja'): 'ㅈ' (j) + 'ㅏ' (a)





Consonant + Horizontal Vowel (C V)
노 ('no')
'ㄴ' ( n ) is the consonant. 'ㅗ' (o) is the horizontal vowel.
도 ('do'): 'ㄷ' (d) + 'ㅗ' (o)
고 ('go'): 'ㄱ' (g) + 'ㅗ' (o)
소 ('so'): 'ㅅ' (s) + 'ㅗ' (o)
조 ('jo'): 'ㅈ' (j) + 'ㅗ' (o)





Empty Consonant + Vertical Vowel (ㅇ CV)
아 ('a')
'ㅇ' (placeholder consonant, silent)
'ㅏ' (a) is the vertical vowel.
어 ('eo'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅓ' (eo)
이 ('i'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅣ' (i)
우 ('u'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅜ' (u)
에 ('e'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅔ' (e)







Empty Consonant + Horizontal Vowel (ㅇ C V)
오 ('o')
'ㅇ' (placeholder consonant, silent)
'ㅗ' (o) is the horizontal vowel.
요 ('yo'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅛ' (yo)
와 ('wa'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅘ' (wa)
왜 ('wae'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅙ' (wae)
외 ('oe'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅚ' (oe)






Consonant + Vertical Vowel + Final Consonant (CVC)
밥 ('bap')
'ㅂ' (b) is the initial consonant.
'ㅏ' (a) is the vertical vowel.
'ㅂ' (b) is the final consonant.
답 ('dap'): 'ㄷ' (d) + 'ㅏ' (a) + 'ㅂ' (b)
잡 ('jab'): 'ㅈ' (j) + 'ㅏ' (a) + 'ㅂ' (b)
갑 ('gap'): 'ㄱ' (g) + 'ㅏ' (a) + 'ㅂ' (b)
삽 ('sap'): 'ㅅ' (s) + 'ㅏ' (a) + 'ㅂ' (b)







Consonant + Horizontal Vowel + Final Consonant (C V C)
문 ('mun')
'ㅁ' (m) is the initial consonant.
'ㅜ' (u) is the horizontal vowel.
'ㄴ' ( n ) is the final consonant.
순 ('sun'): 'ㅅ' (s) + 'ㅜ' (u) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
둔 ('dun'): 'ㄷ' (d) + 'ㅜ' (u) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
훈 ('hun'): 'ㅎ' (h) + 'ㅜ' (u) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
군 ('gun'): 'ㄱ' (g) + 'ㅜ' (u) + 'ㄴ' ( n )







Vertical Vowel + Final Consonant (ㅇ C)
안 ('an')
'ㅇ' (silent) is the placeholder initial consonant.
'ㅏ' (a) is the vertical vowel.
'ㄴ' ( n ) is the final consonant.
언 ('eon'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅓ' (eo) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
인 ('in'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅣ' (i) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
윤 ('yun'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅠ' (yu) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
얼 ('eol'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅓ' (eo) + 'ㄹ' (l/r)






Horizontal Vowel + Final Consonant (ㅇ C V)
웅 ('ung')
'ㅇ' (silent) is the placeholder initial consonant.
'ㅜ' (u) is the horizontal vowel.
'ㅇ' (ng) is the final consonant.
영 ('yeong'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅕ' (yeo) + 'ㅇ' (ng)
왕 ('wang'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅘ' (wa) + 'ㅇ' (ng)
원 ('won'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅗ' (o) + 'ㄴ' ( n )
운 ('un'): 'ㅇ' (silent) + 'ㅜ' (u) + 'ㄴ' ( n )

Each syllable in Korean can be broken down into these components, which include an initial consonant (or a silent placeholder), a medial vowel, and sometimes a final consonant.
This syllable structure is fundamental to reading and writing in Korean.

한글 자음, 모음 창제원리 및 발음, 음절이해 통합(Integration of Hangul consonant and vowel creation principles, pronunciation, and syllable understanding)

  ■ 한글창제의 원리_자음 창제의 원리      (Principles of Hangul Creation_Principles of Consonant Creation) T he Korean alphabet, Hangul, was developed with a unique principle that relates the shapes of its consonants to the parts of the mouth used to pronounce them. Here's a detailed explanation in English to help foreigners learn and appreciate the ingenious design behind Hangul: The consonants in Hangul were initially created to mimic  the shape of the mouth and tongue when making their sounds.  This makes Hangul highly phonetic and easy to learn. For instance: 'ㄱ' is shaped like the tongue blocking the throat, where the sound originates – this sound is known as "Guttural". 'ㄴ' resembles the tongue touching the roof of the mouth, thus called a "Lingual" sound. 'ㅁ' takes the shape of the lips and is called a "Labial" sound. 'ㅅ' looks like the teeth and produces a sound known as "Dental". 'ㅇ' represents the shape of

한국의 교통수단(Transportation in Korea)

  "Liking, sharing, and inviting friends are the virtues of our group." The image I have uploaded showcases various modes of transportation available in South Korea. Here's a detailed explanation of each one: 마을버스 (Maeul Bus)  - Neighborhood Bus: These are smaller buses that operate within specific neighborhoods, connecting residents to more significant transit hubs. 시내버스 (Si-nae Bus)  - City Bus: These buses run within city limits and have more stops than express buses. 시외버스 (Si-oe Bus)  - Intercity Bus: These buses connect different cities and can be regular or express. 고속버스 (Gosok Bus)  - Express Bus: These buses are designed for long-distance travel with fewer stops and higher speeds. 공항버스 (Gonghang Bus)  - Airport Bus: These buses provide direct routes to and from airports. 지하철 (Jiha-cheol)  - Subway: The subway system is extensive, especially in Seoul, providing an efficient way to navigate the city. 기차 (Gicha)  - Train: Trains in Korea can range from local to cross

나이와 연세의 차이(The difference between age and years)

Image
  In Korean culture, the concepts of "age" (나이, "nai") and "years" (연세, "response") are distinct, and understanding this difference is crucial, especially in the context of social interactions and showing respect. 1. Age (나이, "Nai"): The term "나이" refers to the actual age of a person. It's a straightforward count of the number of years since birth. In Korea, age is calculated differently compared to Western cultures. When babies are born, they are considered one year old, and everyone gets a year older on New Year's Day, not their birthday. This is known as the Korean age system. Asking someone’s "나이" is common in Korean social interactions to determine the formality required in speech and behavior. The Korean language has different levels of formality depending on the relative age of the people in the conversation. Example: "나이가 어떻게 되세요?" ("What is your age?") 2. Years (연세, "Yeonse&q
