-----------
What is Hanja? Para naman hindi kayo malito.
Hanja is what Koreans call Chinese characters. Until King Sejong invented Hangul in the 15th century, Koreans had to use Chinese characters to write down things. It wasnt even until the late 1800's and early 1900's that the public even started learning Hangul. Hanja was even used regularly in books, newspapers and official documents up until the 1990s. You can still find these characters on the news, on signs in and outside of restaurants, and as names of businesses. As you can see, the Chinese roots is really a big part of the Korean language.
(May picture ito kaso hindi ko maview.) Take 'fire' for example. The '불' on the left side is the meaning. This is the word that Koreans use on a daily basis to mean 'fire'. On the right side, we see '화' for the sound. This is used when combining other sounds to make bigger words.
소화기 = fire exstinguisher
The '화' part means fire. NOTE: You almost always can't use the sound to say the word by itself. There are a few hanja you can, but for now, know that the sound is used for BUILDING words. (In BTS's 'Fire' they say '불 타오르네' not '화 타오르네').
( (・・; ano raw? Intindihin niyo nalang hahaha po at ito pa.)
水 = Chinese Character
물 = meaning
수 = sound
"물 주세요!" - Please give me some water!
"이 물은 더러워요" - This water is dirty.
냉수 - cold water
온수 - hot water
So here you can see how the word '물' is used in sentences and '수' is combined to make cold and hot water. Also! You can make a guess at the meaning for 냉 and 온. 냉 = cold? 온 = hot?
And you'd be right! See! You already know 4 different Hanja sounds. Another thing to point out is that there are THOUSANDS of Hanja. And there are only so many sounds in a language. So, some sounds have multiple meanings.
Looking back at 'fire', the 화 in 화장실 (bathroom) doesnt mean fire, and the 화 in 전화하다 (to call) is even another '화'.
