Hangul: batchim pt. 2.

안녕하세요 여러분!

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 (you just have to practice).

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 purple 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 begins with a vowel, both consonants will sound (ex.: 없어 will sounds like 업서).

But, if the syllable ends with two consonants and the last one is ㅎ, this one doesn’t sound or sound with the next vowel (ex.: 많이 sounds like if you are saying 마니.)

Batchim rules

There are 7 key batchim rules that depend on the consonants used. Some characters like ㄱ, ㅋ, and ㄲ share the same rule as you can guess because they are very similar consonants.

ㅇ = ㅇ

ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ, ㄳ, ㄺ = ㄱ

ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ = ㄷ

ㅁ, ㄻ = ㅁ

ㅂ, ㅍ, ㅄ, ㄿ = ㅂ

ㄹ, ㄼ, ㄾ, ㅀ = ㄹ

ㄴ, ㄵ, ㄶ = ㄴ

I’ll lay it out like this:

WORD –> PRONOUNCIATION : ROMANIZED

1. Rules for ㅇ

Starting off with ㅇ because it’s important to batchim rules overall. Once you learn how to read hangul you learn ㅇ is either an empty space when used first (like 아니) or an ‘ng’ sound at the very end (like 사랑).

The ‘ng’ sound is the ㅇ characters batchim, it never changes. BUT there’s more- if ㅇ begins the next syllable in a word the batchim will change:

있어 –> 이써 : isseo

있다 –> 읻다 : et-da

For the first one the bottom consonant ㅆ takes over the space of ㅇ for pronunciation making it sound more like 이써. 있다 above follows the normal batchim rules and the ㅆ takes on a ㄷ sound.

2. ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ, ㄳ, ㄺ = ㄱ

This rule affects consonants including ㄱ or his relatives and simply makes anything a ㄱ sound no matter how hard the character would be on its own. Even ㄳ which is combo k and s becomes just k sound.

한국어 –> 한구거 : hangugeo

책은 –> 채근 : chekgun

3. ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ = ㄷ

This affects a bunch of consonants so it’s important to remember.

꽃 –> 꼳 : ggot

좋다 –> 조타 : jota

There’s a special rule about ㄷ and ㅌ ending before a ㅇ though. You’ve probably heard it with 같이; instead of becoming 가티 the ㅌ changes to ㅊ making it 가치.  ㄷ changes to ㅈ as well.

같이 –> 가치: kachi

4. ㅁ, ㄻ = ㅁ

몸이 –> 모미 : momi

5. ㅂ, ㅍ, ㅄ, ㄿ = ㅂ

없다 –> 업따 : ob-da

없어요 –> 업서요 : ob-seoyo

Now ㅂ has some special rules for itself, you probably knows 감사합니다 but it’s not pronounced kamsahaBnida it’s more like kamsamnida

ㅂ starting a word – use a softer b sound: 바나나

ㅂ in the middle –  it creates a b sound: 일번

ㅂ at the bottom – can have m sound depending on what follows like in 감사합니다

A trick to think of is try saying 감사합니다 20x fast. Maybe originally the word was pronounced fully but people get lazy, slur their words, etc and pronunciation goes towards what’s easiest.

6. ㄹ, ㄼ, ㄾ, ㅀ = ㄹ

별이 –> 벼리 : byeo-re

핥은 –> 할튼 : halteun

7. ㄴ, ㄵ, ㄶ = ㄴ

앉다 –> 안다: anta

돈이 –> 도니 : doni

안녕하세요 여러분!

Hoy vamos a aprender como pronunciar una palabra cuando tiene dos consonantes en una de las sílabas. Es más fácil de lo que imaginas, y una vez te hagas a ello, podrás hacerlo sin problemas (solo tienes que aprenderte esta regla).

Os daré unos ejemplos de palabras que tienen este suceso, para que veáis a qué me refiero.

넋, 앉, 값, 많, 싫, 여덟, 곬, 핥, 닭, 삶, 읊

Como puedes ver, todas ellas llevan dos consonantes al final de la sílaba (en la parte baja), y solo una de esas dos consonantes, tiene que sonar.

Entonces, ¿cuál tenemos que pronunciar?

Solo se pronuncian las consonantes marcadas en morado. Estos son las únicas mezclas de dos consonantes, así que, una vez te aprendas estas, podrás decir cualquier palabra.

ㄱㅅ - ㄴㅈ - ㅂㅅ - ㄴㅎ

ㄹㅎ - ㄹㅂ - ㄹㅅ - ㄹㅌ

ㄹㄱ - ㄹㅁ - ㄹㅍ

Así que, cuando digas 넋 tienes que decir “넉” (¡¡¡¡ esto es solo un ejemplo escrito para que sepáis cómo se pronuncia !!!!)

Hay algunas excepciones

Si la palabra tiene ㄺ seguido de ㄱ, entonces, se pronuncia la ㄹ.

Si en la siguiente sílaba, empieza con una vocal, entonces, las dos consonantes se pronuncian.

Si la sílaba termina con dos consonantes, pero la siguiente sílaba empieza con ㅎ, entonces, no suena con la siguiente sílaba, aunque tenga una vocal (Ej.: 많이 suena como si dijeras 마니.)

Hi friend! I'm new to your blog here. I've been studying Korean for the past 3-4 weeks, and I finally mastered the alphabet (yay), but I've hit a roadblock on pronunciation. The romanization doesn't match what it sounds like oftentimes. Do you have any advice or resources to help with that??? Thank you!!

Hii! Yay I’m glad you were able to learn hangul! The thing with romaization is that it’s not the best way to read Korean because in this case it’s matching up sounds that hangul letters make with that of the Latin alphabet when in fact they don’t actually always match up but it’s still helpful to have it if you’re really struggling to pronounce something. However, in order for you to try and understand the pronunciation differences amongst hangul depending on what word you’re saying I recommend you read up on ‘받침’ (bat-chim), which is the ending consonant of a syllable, as the pronunciation of such consonants will vary depending on which vowel/consonant comes before or after them in the form of another syllable within the sentence you’re saying/reading etc. There’s plenty of resources online that you could use but I thought I’d attached the lesson from ‘Korean made simple’ which is the textbook I learnt about 받침 from as I personally found it helpful and easy to understand, so I hope it can help you too !! - 엘리

Hi, I don’t know if you received this question before but why does 같이 pronounced something like 가치/ 갇치? Is there a batchim rule for that or I just misheard it?

Hello! No, don’t worry! You didn’t mishear it, you’re right! I did create a 받침 post that you can view at your own leisure (it has a lot of great resources at the bottom). To answer your question, it creates a “치” sound because of the vowel “이”. Here are some visuals to help:

In the batchim position, (from the correct spelling --> how it’s pronounced)

ㅌ --> ㅊ

밭이 (field) --> 바치

샅샅이 (thoroughly) --> 삳싸치

It’s also a lot easier on the tongue when you say 가치, rather than 가티.

받침 is difficult to understand and for some learners, who don’t have a background in linguistics, won’t be able to pick up on why those changes happen. For now, familiarize yourself with the rules of the last position in a syllable and put it into use! It will get a lot easier the more you practice! Hope this helped! If you need any more clarification, don’t hesitate to send another ask! I am always happy to help <3

Happy learning :)

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.
