How to Pronounce 의: 3 Different Sounds! (and 으)
HTML-код

- The diphthong ㅢ (의) can make different sounds depending on where it's placed within the word:
It's pronounced 의 when at the front of a word.
It's pronounced 이 when in the middle of a word (or after a consonant sound).
It's pronounced 에 when used as a possessive particle.
Watch the video for more details and examples!

How's it possible that every single video you've uploaded so far has been both interesting AND incredibly helpful??!
You are able to explain pronounciation as if you were once a foreigner learning korean, you know exactly what is hard for us and how to make it simple.
Most korean-teaching channels assume that every country in the world have similar sounds, but that's not your case. Great job!
I will add one more pronunciation variation of the vowel /ㅢ/ in Korean. When /ㅢ/ occurs at the beginning of a word, that is, with no consonant, as in 의사, 의자, 의논, the standard pronunciation is [의] as a diphthong, as the narrator explains. But in colloquial speech, many people pronounce it as [ㅡ]; so [으사], [으자], and [으논], respectively.
Thank you for sharing sir! I was wondering as to why my naver translator kept pronouncing it as 으사 /으자 😊
Pronouncing 의 used to give me the worst headache and in 5 minutes you made me understand. You're literally the best!!
This helped clear up my confusion about 의 thank you
I started learning korean a week ago and today I've been binge watching your videos about pronunciation, they had been super helpful to finally understand how korean pronunciation works!
Thank you so much I am Arabic and difficult to pronounce the letters, you helped me
정말 감사합니다 🙏
It's actually a huge relief I don't have to pronounce it like ui two thirds of the time cos I can't say it right lol
To my ears, "너의" and "나의" actually usually sound like "너예" and "나예"! I think you even did that here.
Still, your explanations are by far the best I've come across. I've been learning for a while now, and my dad is trying to grasp the basics. I think these will be very helpful for him.
Thank you so much! 존경합니다!

Ryan Job Thank you! Yes I lived in the US when I was a kid 😊
It's so late but actually you are hearing it like that because saying ㅣ(ee) before other vowels (very fast) give it a "Y" sound at the start.
Like if you try to say '이' and '아' really quick, it would sound like '야'.
@@luciettapark8374 but the 에 sound in 의 hasn't any 이 sound it's just 에, but the 예 is combination of 이 and 에 sound, since 의 is referred as 에 when it's used as a possessive particle then where does the 이 sound comes from to make it an 에 sound?
Fantastic!
I’ve really been for some time looking for a video like this… and then I just randomly stumble upon one.
Thank you very much. I had difficulty pronouncing 으 until I watched your video here.
Litrally I'm gald i found this video......Litrally no one...teaches so thoroughly that you are....even sometimes i got confused....that why are they saying ....의 as 이 and sometimes got mad....when listen 의 as ㅔ.....
감사합니다 for this video.....😊
One more note. If the word finnish in 에 + possesive 의, in this case it will be pronounced “ui” even being a particle
So for 으 the best way to get the pronunciation correct in my opinion (keep in mind that I am not a native speaker nor am I fluent in Korean) is to think of the sound you make when you’re disgusted with something it’s not perfect but it’ll help you get closer to the pronounciation
I was having trouble pronouncing this and I couldn't get it right at all no matter how hard I tried. This is also because I have heard it in so many different ways so I didn't know which one was the right way.😅 But turns out all of them were! This was really helpful!! Thank you!! 😊
I like you. I typically use a different youtuber for korean, becayse she is very easy with it and explains things in 10 seconds that take other youtuber 10 minutes. However she does not dose on prununciation very much. So thank you for making videos like this. It was very helpful.
Emma Bennett you’re most welcome! May I ask who this other RUclipsr is? For research purposes ^_^
@@YourKoreanSaem you might know her
She is called Korean Unnie

Well explained.

Short & clear explanation! Thank you.
thank you so much, some dictionary said its was pronounced ooee as in cooee lol
when it has three pronunciations as well as having your lips taunt when pronouncing it,, thanks again
Thank you! I was so confused as to why Lingo Deer was pronouncing it like 에, but it is because it is being used as a possessive particle. I was so confused and thought I didn't understand the sound.
I was looking for this! Thank i for teach us so well. Hugs from Chile 🖤
Your voice is really soothing, and these videos are really helpful. Thank you so much!

It's really helpful! You really make it easier than I thought. 감사합니다 쌤
I loved the video, it was really helpful. Thank u so much!!! I have already subscribed ❤❤❤❤
You should officially start an online course or sessions. This is very interesting.. your way of giving examples and explanation 👍🏻👍🏻
Great! The first time I get a concrete answer to my phonetic questions!
this is genuis! thank you so much. That sound made me struggle a lot
Thank you so much!!
thank you so much
This is so helpful!! 너무 감사합니다 선생님!! You just got a new subscriber!
Wow thank you
For a while now I’ve been wanting to learn Korean and I am about a week in and I was struggling quite a bit but your videos are helping a lot. You explain it in a very easy way to learn.😊 thank you
Wow...by far the best explanation on youtube, Thank you so much. I was always confused why my learning app varies with the pronunciation of this. Thank you so much!
Im gonna subscribe right away! :)
This was a great explanation of how to pronounce 의. Thank you! This is one of the ones I struggle to pronounce properly.
Thx for the specific and detailed explanation. Most channels have the contents but not good teaching skills like you :)
Thank you so much for explaining! I was so confused about what was going on with the possessive 의. Your video has helped me so much
정말 감사합니다.i literally needed this video, like serious desperation
You're an angel thank you soooo much
선생님 영어 목소리도 너무 좋고 컨텐츠도 정말 도움이 됩니다.:))) 감사합니다. !
전말 고맙습니다❤❤.you explain it very well. That's so fruitful ❤I learned it easy and helped to improve my Pronunciation❤❤❤Tnx an ocean❤ 🌹🌹
Such a helpful video! I've been struggling to figure out why certain words seem not be pronounced as written, so having the rules explained helps so much!
The McCune-Reischauer Latinization has 으 as the diacritic mark ŭ and 어 as ŏ.
Your videos are so helpful! English is my "second lenguaje" (i'm not very good at), but your pronunciation and explanation are so clear that i understand everything! :))
super helpful
Thank you for the explainations.
I should tell you that:
If you sing a song, probably really beautiful. Your voice is so soft.
Super great explanation of pronunciation rules that have really been confusing me! Thanks! Subscribing now. :)
Thanks for the sub :)
Oh my gosh i LOVE you so much for this. 의 was driving me insane lol
Omg thank you so much for this video! It helped clear my confusion... Someone was giving away old classic fairy tale books in Korean, and I want to learn Korean, so I thought it would be perfect since I knew most of the stories already and it would help me understand better.
I came across two words: 마리의 and 호랑이의. I thought we had to pronounce them 마리의 and 호랑이의, but Google translate pronounced them 마리에 and 호랑이에. I got so confused to why 의 would be pronounce 에, but now, thanks to your video, I know why and when to pronounce it 의, 이, or 에! Tysm!!
좋은 비디오 감사합니다❤️
NOW I UNDERSTAND
I think I have a big advantage in learning Korean as a native Romanian speaker, because we actually have the sound 으, written as "î" or "â", also, the sound 시, written as "și"
소파Sopa that’s so interesting!!!
Now I under IU - Celebrity’s first line
I really appreciate this pronunciation lessons. My first language is Spanish and even though we have the “ng” sound, like in mang-o it is really difficult for me to pronounce correctly ㅇ batchim followed by a vocal sound without carrying on the “g” sound like in 영어 , any tips or tricks? Thank you so much!
I took a phonetics course in university and I love how you explain how sounds are articulated. Hoping maybe you'll be able to help explain the differences between 에 and 애 in the future. I find that when I hear these vowels in a word I'm wondering which one it is. Thank you so much!
Pronunciation-wise they're pretty much the same (although supposedly 애 is said with the mouth a bit wider... Koreans can't tell the difference either hehe)... you need to rely more on context. Once you learn more vocabulary it will get easier!! Thanks for your comment!
@@YourKoreanSaem Thank you for replying back!
ily ty
If you are romanian you will now how to pronounce it(we have this sound in our language),but this video is so helpful 💜🙌
Thank you !! I read this somewhere but it was getting confusing as I didn't know how to pronounce, I only knew how to pronounce the 의 when it is a possessive particle.
Just a little curiosity, the "eu" that you use in romanization is actually a word in portuguese. Eu = I
Thank you, have a nice day :)
Marta that’s so cool!
even my stupid brain could understand this video, very helpful!😗
it's really interesting that native english speakers seem to have a very hard time pronouncing anything comparable to umlauts.
as a german i first didn't understand where the problem is until i met my american husband.
Google Translate and Word Hippo Romanize 의 as ui.
You save me!
Hi 샘! Thank you for your explanation. It's very helpful!
However I want to ask about 의 pronounciation as possessive particle further, in example that I saw:
1. 저의 is pronounced as 저에 (like you said
But for:
2. 나의 is pronounced as 나의
3. 여자의 is pronounced as 여자의
Why it's like this? Why it's not pronounce as 나에 or 여자에 as well?
That's my question 😊
It can be pronounced 너에 여자에 etc :)
@@YourKoreanSaem ah i see, thank you so much and have a nice 🥺❣️
Just curious- what is your native language? Because obviously your Korean is fantastic, but your English sounds 100% like a native!! Either way, your skills are so impressive and your videos are so helpful. 감사합니다!!
Sound like ы in russian
Or อือ in Thai

Have you done a video explaining the difference between 오 and 우? Both have pursed lips. I know one is o like “go” and one is oo like “pool,” but it doesn’t help, as when I hear Korean speakers, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish.
Im planning on teaching English in Korea either in September or next March so I've decided to learn Korean as much as I can before moving there. I've been using Duolingo but your videos have been so incredibly helpful since you go in depth about pronunciation and how to pronunciation properly. Thank you very much for these videos!!!
Good idea. I spent 8 months in Pyongyang teaching in English and helping to train English teachers and I wish I learned more Korean before I went. You don't really need to know any Korean at all to teach the English (sounds strange I know) but it would makeyour experience much more enjoyable to be able to speak and understand Korean. :)
what about ㅟ and ㅚ? do they also sound like ㅔ in a syllable?
also out of all of the korean i've ever read i have never seen 늬... that was very strange hahah
Do you not know about the original Korean Romanization with McCune-Reischauer breve accent marks?
What about this 대부분의?
How bout 회의 (meeting) this is also pronounced hwoe - e right? even its not a possessive.. can you please explain about this one..
