Hangul Bat-Chim 2 Grammar

This document provides rules for pronouncing consonants in the "batchim" or final consonant position in Korean syllables. It explains that [1] strengthened consonants (aspirated or doubled) become softened in batchim position. [2] Consonants like ᄉ, ᄌ, and ᄒ sound like ᄃ in batchim position. [3] Strengthened consonants ᄎ, ᄊ, and ᄌ first become softened to ᄉ and then sound like ᄃ due to rule 2. The next lesson will cover collision rules that apply when two consonants meet in Korean.

Hangul Bat-chim 2

Grammar

Lesson 12: Bat-chim, Part 2

Things to remember:

 All consonants have three kinds: regular, double, and aspirated


 Batchim can only have consonants
 Different sound comes when the consonant becomes bat-chim
 All either aspirated or doubled becomes soft when it
becomes bat-chim

2 Basic Batchim Rules

1. If you see a strengthened consonant in the batchim, remove the


strength from it.

For example:

Word Romanization Pronunciation

부엌 bueok 부억

밖 bak 박

2. Rest of consonants such as ㅅ(s),ㅈ(j),ㅎ(h), all sound like ㄷ(d) when


they are in the batchim.

For example:

Word Romanization Pronunciation

맛 mat 맏

낮 nat 낟

놓다 notta 녿타

* One instance is when there is ㅊ(ch),ㅆ(ss),ㅈ(z) in the batchim, it


sounds like ㄷ(d)

For example:
Word Romanization Pronunciation

꽃다발 kottabal 꼳따발

샀다 satta 삳따

찾다 chatta 찯따
안녕하세요 여러분. Koreanclass101.com 하나하나 한글시리즈의 에이미입니다.
Hi, everybody! I’m Amy and welcome to Hana Hana Hangul on
KoreanClass101.com - The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn
Hangul, the Korean alphabet.

We’re continuing our introduction to the batchim position, which refers


to the consonant after vowel in a syllable.

There are two more rules where a consonant in the batchim position
has a different sound than what you would expect. That will be the
subject of today’s lesson.

Remember when we were learning the consonant sounds? We came


across quite a few sounds which were tenser versions of other sounds.
For example. ㄱ(그), ㅋ(크), ㄲ(끄). This includes double consonants, as
well as aspirated consonants. In all of these instances, the sound
reverts back to the softest sound.

Let’s look at one word for each consonant. Pay attention to the way
the batchim consonant sounds.

여/ㄱ - 역[yeok]

station

부어/ㄱ - 부엌[bu-eok]

kitchen

바/ㄱ - 밖[bak]

outside

커/ㅂ - 컵[keop]

cup

아/ㅂ - 앞[ap]

the front

고/ㄷ - 곧[got]

soon

바/ㄷ - 밭[bat]
field

Got it? To summarize, if you see a *strengthened* consonant in the


batchim, remove the strength from it.

Ready for rule number 2? The following consonants all sound like ㄷ
when they’re in the batchim.

마/ㄷ - 맛 - taste

나/ㄷ - 낮 - daytime

노/ㄷ//타 - 놓다 - to put

I said there are only two rules, but there is one instance where you
actually use both rules at once!

These consonants are all strengthened consonants, so you would


remove all the strength from them and get ㅅ.

But remember rule 2? ㅅ becomes ㄷ when it’s in the batchim! So you


would pronounce ㅊ, ㅆ, and ㅈ as ㄷ.

마/ㄷ - 맛[mat]

이/ㄷ/다 - 있다[it-da]

나/ㄷ - 낮[nat]

꼬/ㄷ - 꽃[kkot]

A lot to remember, but there’s more! As I mentioned, when two


consonants collide in Korean, sometimes special rules apply. In the
next lesson, we’re going to cover every single one of those rules so
you won’t get tripped up in the future.

See you on the next Hana Hana Hangul! 여러분 다음에 만나요.
