1 Survival Korean Donghee kim National Institute for International Education Development Ⅰ. The Korean Alphabet (Hangeul) 1. What is "Hangeul"? Hangeul is the writing system used by Koreans. It was created in 1443 by the Great King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty. Hangeul is a phonetic alphabet with each letter representing a sound. It is a distant cousin of the Altaic language family. In terms of its morphological characteristics, Korean is an agglutinating language. Hangeul consists of 10 basic vowels and 14 basic consonants. There are also 16 other compound characters combining the basic characters which make for a total of 40 Hangeul characters. 1.1 Vowels The letter shapes for the vowels were based on the three core essential elements of the universe: Heaven( ), Earth(ㅡ) and Human(ㅣ). Hangeul is not only unique but is also embedded with philosophical principles of the universe. The vowel ㅏ which portrayal of the sun rising in the east, represents a bright picture. ㅓ, portrayal of the sun setting in the west, a dark picture. Korean has 10 simple vowels and 11 diphthongs. The sound of the vowel is based on tongue position, degree of mouth opening and lip rounding. Diphthongs, the letter is a combination of vertical and horizontal vowels. The horizontal letters, ㅡ, ㅗ, ㅜ, ㅛ, ㅠ must be put below consonants, while the vertical, ㅣ, ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅔ, ㅐ, ㅖ, ㅒ must be put the right of consonants. Simple (10) ㅏ [a] ㅓ [ə] ㅗ [o] ㅜ [u] ㅡ [ɨ ] ㅣ [i] ㅐ [æ] ㅔ [e] ㅚ [ö] ㅟ [ü] Diphthongs (11) ㅑ [ja] ㅕ [jə] ㅛ [jo] ㅘ [wa] ㅠ [ju] ㅝ [wə] ㅢ [ɨ i] ㅒ [jæ] ㅙ [wæ] ㅖ [je] ㅞ [we] Chart 1. Vowels Chart 2.

They are distinguished as Plain, Aspirated, Tensed consonants according to the place and manner of articulation. The basic 5 characters, ㄱ, ㄴ, ㅁ, ㅅ, ㅇ are designed reflecting the points of articulation, and the rest were produced by adapting strokes to the basic letters. So, the sound value is predicted from the shape. Each consonant has its own individual sound value and name. Chart 3.

Although all consonants can be used as a "Bat-chim", the sound of "Bat-chim" is based on the 7 following consonants : ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅇ. The "Bat-chim" is written at the bottom of the word syllable.

Korean words are organized in the dictionary by "(consonant)-vowel-(consonant : bat-chim)", but each part of the word must follow the order written below. a. Consonants ㄱ, ㄲ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄸ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅃ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅉ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ b.

3 Syllable Final Consonants (Bat-chim) The consonant attached to the bottom of a syllable is called the "Bat-chim".

4 U봅U + U보U beginning with any other letter. Whereas a word beginning with "가 would come before a letter beginning with 기", Again, whereas a word beginning with "각" would come before a word beginning with "간", and a word beginning with "같 would come before a word beginning with "개. 2. Korean vs English The major difference between Korean and English is "word order". Unlike English, the order of words in a sentence does not necessarily make any difference in meaning in Korean, and the reason is because the special components- "particles"- are used in the Korean language. Tom likes Ann. Ann likes Tom. 톰은 앤을 좋아한다. 앤을 톰은 좋아한다. The words are ordered differently in the two sentences but those two sentences mean the same things due to the different positions of the two particles of 은 and 를. The sentences have same predicate( 좋아한다. = like ), which is always placed at the end of a sentence. 2.1 Basic Sentence Structure English: S + V + O Kate eats an apple. Korean: S + O + V U케이트가U U사과를U U먹어요.U Kate an apple eats 2.2 Korean Syllables Korean syllables, in general, can be made with consonants and vowels. A vowel by itself form a syllable, whereas a consonant should be followed by a vowel to make a syllable. When a vowel forms the first sound in a syllable, the consonant 'o' is necessarily written but has no sound. 2.3 Verb Conjugation Korean verbs are made up of bases and endings. The bases are constant, while the endings can take more than one shape. The notion of variable endings attaching to verb bases is called conjugation. Through conjugation, verbs can take on numerous different functions. a. see : 보다 U니다.U vb.stem sentence ending(declarative) U시U U겠U U습니까U?

come before a word beginning with "개. 2. Korean vs English The major difference between Korean and English is "word order".

5 vb.stem pre-final ending(intent) pre-final ending(honorific) final ending(interrogative) b. go : 가다 갑니다 (declarative: ~go~.) 갑니까?(interrogative: Do~go~?) 갑시다 (propositive: Let's go~.) 가십시오(imperative: Go.) 갔습니다(past tense: ~went~.) 가겠습니다(future tense: ~will go~?) 갈까요? (Shall we~?) 가고 있습니다(progressive: is going.) 2.4 Non-existent sounds Korean doesn't have f, v, ð, θ sounds of English. On the other hand, English has only 5 vowels and 2 semivowel 'y, w'. Thus it's hard to make the exact sounds of Korean diphthongs. a. English: [f], [v], [ð], [θ] : couffuee(커피), UVUincent(빈센트), UthUank you(쌩큐) b. Korean: ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅘ, ㅝ, ㅢ...(diphthongs) : UyaUrd [ja], rouyaul[iə], UwaUr[wɔ ] ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ (tensified consonants) : UsUong [ss], supuy [bb] 2.5 Action Verbs & Descriptive Verbs Verbs are used as the predicate in a sentence. There are 2 main types of verb in Korean. Action verbs denote actions or processes. Descriptive verbs(adjectives) denote qualities or states. a. The student UgoesU to school. 학생이 학교에 U갑니다.U b. The weather Uis fineu. 날씨가 U좋습니다U. c. I'm boring/ tired/ interested. 심심해요/ 피곤해요/ 재미있어요 2.6 Yes & No In positive interrogative sentences, answering with yes or no has the same rule as English, while negative interrogative sentences doesn't. A: 자요? Are you sleeping? B: 네, 자요. Yes, I'm sleeping. 아니오, 안 자요. No, I'm not sleeping. A: 안 자요? Aren't you sleeping? B: U네U, 안 자요. UYesU, I'm not sleeping. 아니오, 자요. No, I'm sleeping. 2.7 Social function(honorific) Koreans use different words or end a sentence in a different way depending on the relationship between the speaker and the listener or the situation, such as older person/ friend/ younger person, formal/ informal speech. When speaking to an older person, they use polite expressions with some special words or the different ending of a sentence, or by lowering themselves. All verbs can be converted into an honorific by adding the suffix -시'si'- after the stem.

4 Non-existent sounds Korean doesn't have f, v, ð, θ sounds of English. On the other hand, English has only 5 vowels and 2 semivowel 'y, w'.
