      Ya usually ppl say '개고기' if they really want to mean dog as a food.

      Oscar Ramos ㄱ sounds like between g/k , but may sound more like "g" or leaning toward "g/k" depending on the position in a sentence or word. ㄲ is like a harsher sound of ㄱ, it sounds like a harsh projecting out of the "c" in the spanish word "casa"(house).🤗

      Watch Infinite Challenge(무한도전)'s Korean Day (한글날) episode. Native Koreans, including grown adults, have trouble distinguishing which 'letter' to use in common words.
      It's probably like this because of the Internet and how people tend to use abbreviations or just out right improper grammar (could of, their/there/they're, etc).

    Being a native speaker of german, ㅐ and ㅔ are actually super easy to distinguish, since we have them (ä/ㅐ & e/ㅔ), too. ㅐ is the "a" in "and" (you have to say it very american), whereas ㅔ sounds more like the "e" in "end". They're similar, but not the same.

    Great video as always! ^-^ If anyone is familiar with German, ㅐ is pronounced like 'ä', and ㅔ is pronounced like 'e'. But, of course, this observation is basically obsolete.
    For English speakers, ㅐ is basically like "eh", and ㅔ is similar to "ay", but with no emphasis on the 'y'.

      @Kikkerv11 6 лет назад +12

      Daniel: What languages can you speak? If you only know American or British English, then take a look at the words "bet" and "bait". The vowel in 'bet' is pronounced like French è or North Koreanㅐ. The vowel in 'bait' is a diphtongue. It is pronounced like North Korean ㅔ followed by the 'i' vowel in the word 'bit'. Imagine bait would be spelled "béit" or "bㅔit". Also, notice how ㅚ and ㅞ are pronounced wé, while ㅙ is pronounced wè.

    In middle Korean, ㅔ was pronounced /ei/ or /əi/ , ㅐ was /ai/. Due to sound changes both diphthongs merged into monothongs /e/ and /ɛ/ , which eventually lost their distinctions.

    It's really very easy. For American English, ㅐ is pronounced "ay" like the a in say or day, and ㅔ is pronounced "eh" like the e in bet or get. Real simple.
    So since ㄱ is pronounced like a G or K then 개 would be gay or kay, and 게 would be geh or keh.
    Hope this helps. :-)

    새 친구: 전업주부 is the right word. How do you know the word 집순이?
    나를: I learned it on a TTMIK video. Is it too old-fashioned?
    새 친구: No. It is too informal word. it only used in intimate friends.

  • @kronusexodues7283

    In German there are the letters Ä and E. They are basically more differenciated versions of ㅐ and ㅔ. That made hearing and pronouncing the difference between ㅐ and ㅔ a lot easier for me. I either think "just pronounce an Ä that blends with an E" or " pronounce an E that leans towards being an Ä". Especially in spoken language, the difference is still too small to hear it, but it helped with pronounciation and understanding the difference.

    • @Eonhyo
      @Eonhyo 7 лет назад +5

      '에' when used as a possessive particle, like 나의 ('na-e', but tends to sound a bit more like 'na-ye' due to the 'ah' sound from 'na'), or 학생의 ('haksaeng-e').
      Other than the above case, it is pronounced like a diphthong (a double vowel? not sure of the exact term, not a linguistics student), literally 으 + 이 -> "으-이 (eu-eeeeeee)". It is easy if you can pronounce 으 and 이 ^^
      TEEHEE hope it helped. (Not native Korean but use Korean quite often.)

    • @Lagiacrus1996
      @Lagiacrus1996 7 лет назад +2

      Generally if used at the start of the word. In the middle it sounds like 이. So 편의점 is pronounced [펴니펌], but 의심 is pronounced [의심].

    • @Eonhyo
      @Eonhyo 7 лет назад +3

      Hahahah oops I'm sorry, you're right! I left that out. I didn't notice that until reading your comment.
      Also read like 이 in the middle of phrases! ^^
      That's why it's always good to try to learn the pronunciation from hearing the actual words, because Koreans don't tend to pronounce exactly like how they are spelt/written.

      @AJDiamante 7 лет назад +53

      Bayan Bakeer Hey there! I know I'm not Hyunwoo 선생님 nor do I pretend to be a Korean expert, but let me try to answer your question. The TTMIK staff can just correct me if I'm wrong. Haha.
      The 는/은 particle is a topic particle, meaning that when you attach this to a certain noun, the noun becomes the topic but not necessarily the subject of the verb used. I think it has the effect of "as far as thing xxx is concerned..." On the other hand the particle 이/가 changes the noun to be the subject of the verb.
      For example, the sentence "나는 책 있어요" literally translates to "I have a book." If you look at the sentence though, the verb 있다 modifies the 책 not the 나. So the 는 particle there actually just makes the 나 the topic (as for me/as far as I am concerned) but the thing that the verb modifies (i.e. the subject of the verb) is actually the 책. So 나는 책 있어요=As for me, the book exists.
      Hope this helps! And TTMIK staff, if this is wrong, please correct it! Thanks!

      나는 is for something you have... like books, bed, papers etc... ex. 나는 침대 있어요- I have a bed
      나는 냉장고 있어요- I have a refrigerator
      내가 is for something you will do or you want to do.. ex. 내가 할게요- I will do it
      내가 열심히 할게요- I will work hard. 😊
      btw I think I gave what is more appropriate to use in 나는 and 내가 but I also think it is the same meaning but it is depends what you want to use in a certain situation.

    I think that an obvious example about the defence betweenㅔ , ㅐ is
    네 ( yes ) , 내 ( my )
    When it's 네 people say and there mouth is a little bit circle , so that even lesteners could hear it as 데 , maybe like ㅓ
    But in 내 it's too straight and feels like mouth is going up ,, so that the. ㄴ sound is so obvious and clear ,,,
    So I feel that 에 is going down ⬇️ and that 애 is going up ,⬆️

    For the difference between 녹화 (錄畵) and 촬영 (撮影) please look at the Chinese (Hanja: 漢字). Your answer is very clear on the difference of these two words. This is why learning HANJA is essential for mastering KOREAN.

    I could've just accepted the ''most koreans do not care anymore'' but as the curious me, I had to do some more research... wikipedia told me the two phonemes for E and AE, turns out my Spanish doesn't have both but my mother tongue, catalan, does have them both. Now it will be easier for me to at least distinguish them when I study or write, even if I pronounce them the same when speaking :)

    Thank you so much TTMIK! Your videos make it easier for me to learn & understand korean/Hangul more (med school is tough enough😅)
    For those who might find this helpful,
    a) *ㅐ* = æ or ae, *ㅔ* = ĕ, "short" e sound (as opposed to the "long" e sound ē/'ee')
    b) *ㅐ* sounds like "man" (imagine Swiper the Fox saying *aw, ma~n*)
    *ㅔ* sounds like "eh" in *pet*
    I find reading romanized lyrics helps a lot too! I've come across lyrics that have been romanized differently though. if you're just starting out, it might be difficult, but it really helped me understand Hangul 😊

    For me, I tell the difference ofㅐandㅔby pronouncingㅔlike the "ay" sound in "play" and pronouncingㅐlike the "short sounding E". For example the short E sound in "net".

    ㅔ 와 ㅐ 는 어이와 아이의 차이 ㅓ,ㅏ 의 차이 에서 오는 건데, 외국 분들 에게는 어려울 꺼에요. 근데 점점 한국사람들도 구분 안하고 은연중에 쓰는 경우도 있어서 100년뒤에는 없어질 꺼라는 예기도 있더군요.

    I came here bc I was wondering about this. It’s so interesting to see that so many seem to have similar questions 😄
    Bc I know what they’re supposed to sound like, I guess it’s kinda like the German “e” = “ㅔ” and “ä” = “ㅐ”but some people pronounce “ä” just like “e”... just like with ㅐ and ㅔ I don’t always hear a difference. Good to know! Thank you!

  • @somename152
    @somename152 3 года назад

    starts 4:01
    sounds to me like ㅐ sounds like ai/est as we pronounce in French and that ㅔ sounds more like ae/eh like in English pronunciation [especially when you see a Korean word put to English alphabetic letters]
    (I noticed as a French and English speaker that a lot of the Korean sounds can be understood from a mix of the two)
    Any French speakers know we have something similar when it comes to ê, è...

    It's easy :)

    • @nagywywy
      @nagywywy 5 лет назад

      Aren't those two sounds are the same though, just in dad it's held for longer? Like if you say dad quickly it ends up sounding just like dead.

  • @moniquevermette2054
    @moniquevermette2054 6 лет назад

    In french there is É and È which is very similar to ㅐand ㅔ but more exagerated, so it's not that hard for me to tell them apart side by side, but within a word it's still a lot less obvious in both languages!

    @njitram2000 5 лет назад

    Interesting. So the distinction between ㅐ and ㅔis like between you're and your in English. Strictly speaking they should be spoken with a subtle difference but no one bothers (leading to the current state of grammar).

  • @oishidasgupta
    @oishidasgupta 7 лет назад

    In my language(Bengali), the 애 sound already exists but we usually only use it to express surprise or similar emotion. Otherwise I can't recall any instance where we use it with a vowel or otherwise.

    For French speakers, ㅐ sounds like é, while ㅔ sounds like è. Pour les francophones, ㅐ c'est comme un é (mangER), et ㅔ comme un è (mAI).

    if you write it using an english keyboard 'e' is written as 에 and 'ae' is written as 애.

  • @kychoi1196
    @kychoi1196 7 лет назад

    '에' is just 'e' sound and '애' is very short prononciation of '으' +'에' ..So make the mouth for ' 으' without sound and make sound 'e' then it will be '애'.. apple is '애플' very similar.

    • @kychoi1196
      @kychoi1196 7 лет назад

      Seoul people can distinguish them but the people in southern part Gyeongsangdo or Jellado Province can't distingish between them.. They prononciate 'ㅐ' as 'ㅔ' and the dialect uses 'ㅣ' instead of 'ㅔ'. In Gyeonsangdo Province they uses ' 끼' instead of '게'.

    How bout this one, what Is difference between 싶어요 & 원해요? They both mean "I want". If you're familiar with Japanese then it's something like suffix -tai & hoshii also mean I want.
    Lastly pronounce these 2 lucky words, 랏키 in Japan & 럭키 in Korean, so how do they sound different other than an "Ah" sound & an "Uh" sound?

  • @caitlinthiessen

    I think I get it? So 해 is pronounced like “hay” and 헤 is pronounced more like “he” (not like the English he more like hay but shortened ?) correct me if I’m wrong ❤️
