Names of Korean Consonants

Postby hyunwoo » August 30th, 2007 6:12 pm

Vowels in Korean don't have particular names to them because they are just called what they sound, but consonants have specifical names. And here they go :

ㄱ = 기억 (gieok)
ㄴ = 니은 (nieun)
ㄷ = 디귿 (digeut)
ㄹ = 리을 (rieul)
ㅁ = 미음 (mieum)
ㅂ = 비읍 (bieub)
ㅅ = 시옷 (siot)
ㅇ = 이응 (ieung)
ㅈ = 지읒 (jieut)
ㅊ = 치읓 (chieut)
ㅋ = 키읔 (kieuk)
ㅌ = 티읕 (tieut)
ㅍ = 피읖 (pieup)
ㅎ = 히읗 (hieut)


:D

I hope this will be of help for those who were wondering how to read them.

You mean "consonants" have specific names, not nouns? right?

Yeah, I made a mistake there :-) Thank you for correcting me Joakim. I wrote "consonants" in the title and wrote "nouns" in the content.... kk 바보다~~

I corrected it, thanks!
