  • I explain how to pronounce 의 in several situations, including how to say it on its own, at the start of a word, in the middle or end of a word, and when it’s used as the Possessive Marker. I also show how it can be pronounced differently in dialects.

    민주주의의 의의 naturally pronounced would be 민주주이에 의이! I think.
    And it means democracy's significance, right?
    I was somewhat already aware of this concept but this video helped me to consolidate it. Thanks, as always, Billy!

    Very useful video thanks. I read a lot of books and I hate this combination. I was getting it mostly right. Keyword on mostly. I’ve been mispronouncing 편의점. And the thing is, I knew I was screwing it up 😂.

    • @CastlingCheckmate
      @CastlingCheckmate Год назад +2

      발음이 크게 문제 되지는 않아요. 편의점, 편이점 어떻게 발음해도 다 알아들어요. 의가 이로 발음될 때도 확실한 '이' 보다는 '의'와 '이' 사이 발음인 경우가 많아요. 이제 막 영어 공부를 시작해서 위 내용의 의미를 제대로 이해한 것인지 모르겠네요. 우연히 이 채널을 보게 되었는데 잘 알려주시네요.

No this is seriously very helpful, I've been taunted by this syllable for years. But the sight of that cleaning cloth very definitely squishing against something solid haunts me. There's something there...

    @IxiaClover Год назад +1

    i live in daegu at the moment and was walking around the market with my coworker and pointed out the clothes section to go in there, which started with 의. i said it as 이 because 1. i find it easier to say and 2. if its gyeongsang dialect like you said, perhaps i have just heard it pronounced 이. anyway, she corrected me on the pronunciation and got me to say it properly... i knew what it was supposed to be in 표준어, so was expecting her to say 의... but she said closer to 어이 because of her accent... i worked out about older people in daegu pronouncing 어 as 으 (e.g. 읎어 not 없어) but didnt realise it existed the other way round!!! so i guess in very specific senses you can add 어이 haha

    • @GoBillyKorean
      @GoBillyKorean  Год назад +7

      Yes, 저/나 are separate words, and 은/는 and 이/가 are used in different ways. Your question is actually 4 questions :) But I have a full course that covers all of those that's here: ruclips.net/video/sx0yyQqkpqo/видео.html You can skip ahead past the writing lessons and beyond that I teach the Topic Marker and Subject Marker, and then Politeness Levels.

  • @windlasses

    What dictionary do you use that provides the pronunciatons you mention in the video? The main dictionary I use, Papago, provides a pronunciation in Latin letters (ui for 의), but I do not find that useful (also, the voice recordings are dreadful). What I'd like to see, ideally, is how the Korean word is pronounced using the Korean alphabet AND the Latin alphabet. A good recording would be a godsend, but perhaps that's simply impossible for computers to do.
