Hangul is Korean writting system, but as well considered dialect na daw (sabi sakin, not sure tho). But what i'm posting here is the "ROMANIZED" form. Hindi pa po ako nakakapag-basa ng Korean letters. Mahirap. >.< Kaya in ROMANIZED form po ang mga ito. ROMANIZED version meaning that KOREAN words in forms of using ENGLISH letters or the way it will be pronounced in ENGLISH. Gets ba?
Naguluhan ako sa tinype ko. HAHA. Basta ito 'yung way kung pano nila sinasabi 'to. Yun na yun! teehee. =D
* * * * AYON SA NARINIG KO DATI, panget daw magsalita ang Filipinos or even other races ng Hangul (Korean Twang; yun ang tawag sa way ng pagsasalita nila). Kasi iba talaga magsalita ang mga Koreans. We tend to pronounced them wrong or may experience difficult time to say it right. If ever you have friends or relatives na marunong magsalita ng Hangul, ask them to help you in reading them correctly.
Moreover, dahil sobrang bait ng tatay ko AT kahit minsan naiinis na siya sakin dahil makulit ako ng kakatanong sa kanya sa tamang pag-pronounce ng mga letters (and yay! nagiimprove daw ako~), i'll share you some of his tips if ever you saw some romanized Korean words.
NOTE: Yung naunang page po, hindi po yun ang "correct" romanized form nila. Baka kasi mahirapan kayo sa pag-pronounce kaya iniba ko ang letters para kahit papano maging "close sa tama" ang binasa niyo. :)
THE CONSONANTS!
ang ibang CONSONANTS LETTERS ay nagkakaroon ng kaparehong tunog when romanized tulad ng G & K in which mas dominant ang K-sound kasi most of the time kahit letter "G" ang nakasulat binabasa pa rin ito in sound of "K". (eg. Gwaenchana; it is pronounced as KWEYNCHANA.) Katulad ng "B & P", "D & T" and "R & L", in which P, T and L are dominant sounds.
^Siguro alam niyo na kung bakit sira ang mga Koreans sa letter "R". :)))
More over, Hangul in romanized form may result for "double consonants" tulad ng "KK", "SS" and likes. if you ever see one, "emphasis" is what needed. For "KK", imagine the sound of "K" after the letter "S" (like sKeleton.), noticing an "emphasis" in K-sound? Mas strong ang pag-pronounce ng letter?
This case includes the double consonants: TT, PP, SS, JJ. (in JJ it's much more of a "dg"-sound sa word na 'baDGe'.) Hope you get my point. Just remember, EMPHASIS.
Arrasseoh? (A-ra-suh?/ Understood?) ^___^V
VOWELS!
Well, i must say talagang iba ang pag-pronounce ng vowels nila lalo na sa mga COMBINATIONS of different vowels. A, E, I, O, U is simple.
A- "ah"-sound like 'a' in the tagalog word "aso" (AH-so)
E- "e"-sound like 'e' in the word "egg"
I- "ee"-soundlike "i" in the word "igloo" (EEg-lu)
O- "oh or aw"-soundlike how you pronounce "a" in the word "fall" (fOHll) gets ba? :S
U- "oo"-soundlike how you say "Boo" :)
If you ever see combi-vowels like EU, EO, AE, OE or combines to letters W and Y like WA, WE, YI, YO so on. Ibang usapan na 'yun.
+AE - (EY or E~) Parang maarteng pronunciation ng "A"? Parang "A"-sound sa word na "bake" (BEYK) or the word "Saranghae~" (sAHrAHnghE)
+EO- (ER/ most like "UR" o "U" sound). "STALKER" but in ROMANIZED it is spelled "Stokeo" (stOHkUR). "Eomma" (mom) ay sinasabi na "Um-ma"
+OE- (WEH) "WEll" or "WEllcome"
+UI (OOWI) much like "UWI" sa "UWIan"
+EU- (more closely to UH or OH sounds or deeper "E-sound") "Routine" (rUHtin). *honestly, dito ako hirap.pero it is also pronounced as "ehyu" according to my dad. For example "NEUN" it can be "nUHn" or "nOHn" or "nEYUn".
Using consonants + vowels
wa (WAH), we(WEH), wi(WEE), wo(WOH eg. 'won'), wae (close to WEY or WE~) and wu(WOO; but U is rarely combined with 'W')
ya (YAH), ye(YE-), yi (YEE), yo (YO-), yae (YE~), yeo (YOH~ or YU~) and yu (YOO~)
PUT INTO TEST :)
This is a simple conversation i had with my father:
"Annyeonghaseyo?"
"Annyeong! Eotteeoke jinaesseo?" (Hi! How are you?)
"Jal isseoseo. Neo eotteoni?" (I'm fine, 'bout you?)
"Gwaenchanayo. Baegopa~" (I'm okay. I'm hungry~)
"Nado, mwo jom meogja!" (Me too, let's eat.)
"Joa! Bulgogi meogo sipeoyo!" (Great! I want to eat Bulgogi~)
"Gaja! Naega naelkke." (Let's go! My treat.)
"Jeongmal? Ya! Gaja! Ppali ppali~" (Really? Ya! Let's go! Hurry up!!)
Try BULGOGI (Pulgogi; it's a beef barbecue whatever. i can't explain. haha), Basta masarap!~~ :"">
