Aspirated ones are with more puff of air than the plain ones. As for tensed ones, you add more stricture, but without puff of air, when letting out the sound. Tensed ones are difficult for beginners, and many students take long time to acquire the correct pronunciation. is similar to g as in god. is similar to k as in sky. is similar to k as in kill. is similar to d as in do. is similar to t as in stop. is similar to t as in two. is similar to tt as in butter (not [t] but a flap like a Spanish [r]), in a syllable initial position.

Traditional vowel classification:
Traditionally, vowels are classified into three categories, that is yang (bright), yin (dark), and neutral. This classification is very important, for it will be used when we learn conjugation of predicates and some phonological aspects of Korean. The classification also principles the vowelhamp3ony phenomena that Korean has as a member of Altaic language family. The classification is as follows: yang (bright) - and series (, , , , ) yin (dark) - and series (, , , , ) neutral --
and
+ (CC) V initial consonant vowel final consonant (coda) Some vowels are placed on the right side of the initial consonant; some are placed underneath the initial consonant: Vowels , , (and their derivatives, i.e. , , ,) are placed on the right; and vowels , , are placed undersneath the initial consonant. Final consonants are always placed at the bottom. E.g) +

NB) Final consonant clusters: , , , , , , , , , , Except for , , , , , , (ones with placed befre another consonant), when followed by another consonant or nothing, the second consonant of the cluster becomes silent. This second consonant will come alive when there is a vowel after it. = kap "price" + = kap kwa "price and" + = kapsi "price (with a subject particle)" Final clusters with '+consonant' fomp3ation are pronounced with slight irregularity. As for , , , , , the foregoing liquid sound [] of the cluster is ignored when followed by another consonant or nothing. This comes alive when the cluster is followed by another vowel. However, Seoul speakers (and many other regions too) tend to throw in a touch of liquid sound for the even when the cluster is followed by a consonant or nothing. = sa(l)m "a living" + = sal mi "a living (with a subject particle)" In clusters and , however, [] is alive even when followed by another consosnant. + = kku^l k'o "boil and.."

2.2. Nasalization
When a final (non-nasal) consonant is followed by a nasal initial (,), the non-nasal consonant absorbs the nasality, keeping its place of articulation. Remember, '' in the initial position is not a nasal consonant but a zero. , , , , , , / before or , ex) [] [] []

"", a lexical verb stem, is attached with a mid-polite suffix "", making a present-tense predicate. ("-" has more stories. We will learn them later.) Subjects can be omitted in many simple everyday-conversational sentences, as long as they are obvious by the context. ""thus can be used in the sense of "I go," "you go," or sometimes, "He goes," etc. With an intonation rising at the end ( ), it can be a question, "Do you go (Are you leaving?)" or "Shall we go?", etc. It can even be taken as an imperative sentence, "Go (Leave)!" A stem is a part of a verb predicate, not a whole word. When we list it in dictionaries, or refer to it as a word--just as when we say "to go" or "to eat" as words--, we add "" at the end of a stem. Thus, Stem + = Base Form + = (Base Form, "to go")
High-polite -
When addressing a senior (in terms of age or social ranking), a high-polite stle of speech is used. "-" is a typical suffix of this style. A simple "How are you?" is made as the following. stem "to be well" high-polite suffix (present tense)
"" is a stem, the base form of which is "". Apart from the politeness of the style, "-" can be used you use "", as in "You go (Please leave)" or "Do you go (Are you leaving)?", "He/She goes", or "Does he/she go", etc. However, you may not want to use it when the subject is you, the subject. For the added politeness by "--" is for the subject, not the addressee, whereas "-" is for the addressee, as it is used in the mid-polite style.
Practice
Using the given words, make different sentences as seen in the key. 1. [verbs] --- (to meet), (to sleep), (to buy), (to ride), (to dig) <Key> (to go): . ? ! . ? ! I/you go. He/she goes. Do you go? Does he/she go? Please go!
2. [adjectives] --- (to be expensive), (to be salty), (to be cold) <Key> (to be cheap) : . ? 3. '-' verbs and adjectives <Key> It's cheap. Is it cheap?
? ? !
common: they all have the stem ending in vowel ? without any patch'im followed ('', ' ', '', etc.) Those whose stems end otherwise, should take either - or -. The last vowel of the stem decides which of the two to take. Once again, the vowel harmony principle ('yang with yang; yin with yin') applies: If the stem has a yang vowel at the last syllable, use -; If the stem has a yin or neutral vowel at the last syllable, use -. (For yang/yin/neutral vowels, see Lesson 2.) : + - to be small "It's small." or "He/She is small."? : + - () to come "Come!" or "I come" or "He/She comes." [] : + - [] to be alright "It's OK." : + - () to give "Give (me, etc.)!" or "I give." : + - to eat "Eat!" or "I eat." or "He/She eats." [] : + - [] to read "Read!" or "I read." or "He/She reads." In fact, is a contraction [ + - () ], so are the others in Lesson 4. (NB) - verbs and adjectives are rather peculiar. For them, - is assumed instead of . This may sound quite overwhelming, but - words are in fact easier. All the - stems with no exception appear as -.
2) High-polite suffix -() Although not so complicated as -/, this suffix also has its own rules: If the stem ends without a patch'im, use -; If the stem ends with a patch'im, use -. : + to laugh : + : + : + ""

Finally, we arrive the detail structure of ". XXX(name)." Since personal names are the same as nouns, we use the nominal-predicate copula, -. In order to make it into a real sentence, we need to add either - or - in place of the base-form making - after --. For is a neutral vowel, - is added. - had gone through a certain phonological change in modern Seoul speakers' speech, and ended in -.
+ - "I am Oh Young Kyun." Similarly, : "I am / You are a student" or "He/She is a student" : "It's a train." There are two forms to spell this -: - and -. As far as we are concerned, just - suffice. Practice 1. Using the following words, make sentences with -/ and -() conjugation. Please give at least one possible translation for each sentence. Also, mark each word whether it is a verb (V) or an adjective (A). <Key> "to be good" (A) . ? . ? "to work" (V) . ? . ? "It is good." "Is it good?" "He/She is good." "Is he/she good?" "I work." "Do you work?" "He/she works." "Is he/she working?"
<Words> [] (to be hated) (to wear, put on) (to see) (to be small) (to buy) (to be expensive) (to read) (to be OK) (to be comfortable) [] (to be cold) (to be many/much) (to laugh) [] (to be healthy) (to study) 2. Using the following nouns, make dialogues. (And translate them.) <Key> : a duck <Nouns> (tree); (pants) (banana)
B- , . Yes, it is a duck.
Finally, we get a sentence meaning, "The embassy is far." Now, let's look at some more examples. subject predicate . . . . . These pants are comfortable. The train is coming. The teacher is laughing. That (over there) is a school. This is a bear.
<practice> Use the following pairs of words to make sentences in mid-poite style. Don't forget to use subject markers, and to translate each sentence, as given in the above examples. subject predicate (this person) (friend) 1. (rose) (to be expensive) 2. (water) (to be cold) 3. (tree) (to be good) 4. (that person) (to be healthy) 5. (money) (to be many/much) 6. (baby) 7. (this [thing]) (hat; cap) 8. (here; this place) 9. (to be small) 10. (studying) (to be dislikable) 11. (car) (to come) 12. (to work) 13. (home) (where) 14. (who) 15. (book) (to be cheap) 16. (America) 17. (this computer) (to be okay) 18. (a younger sibling) (to sleep) 19. (homework) 20.
