Introduction
Consonant + vertical vowel + consonant
Up until now to keep it simple, we've only learned about syllables that only ended with a vowel, basically two letters put together to make a sound. Now we'll be learning about the final consonant that goes at the bottom of the syllables block, this final position is called a batchim. The sentence example below shows the characters in the final position (batchim) in blue:
This step will introduce you to the sounds in the final syllable position, some which are very different from their normal sounds. For now we are only going to include the characters ㄴ and ㅁ in the final position (batchim) since ㄴ and ㅁ do not change sounds in this position. Just remember each block of letters is pronounced as a syllable. Let's try some simple examples to help you understand.
| Practice | |
|---|---|
| 사람 (person) | |
| 라면 (ramen) | |
| 몸매 (shape, figure) | |
| 금지 (prohibition) | |
| 안주 (side-dish for alcohol) | |
| 신문 (newspaper) | |
Sound shifts
If a consonant in the final position followed by a vowel, the sound shifts over to the next syllable. The only sounds that don't shift over to the next syllable are ㅇ since it is weird to begin a weird with a "ng" sound and ㅎ becomes silent when followed by a vowel.
| Original | Actual Pronunciation | Audio |
|---|---|---|
| 맞아 | 마자 | |
| 먹어 | 머거 | |
| 집에 | 지베 | |
| 좋아 | 조아 | |
| 놀아 | 노라 | |
| 필요하다 | 피료하다 | |
| 한국어 | 한구거 | |
| 졸업 | 조럽 | |
| 십일 | 시빌 |
- 일요일 - Sunday
Different sounds
If a consonant in the final position and it is not followed by a vowel (meaning it is the last syllable of the word or followed by another consonant), then it may have a different pronunciation. You will notice from the tables below that many characters share the same sound when in the final position.
Also as you will notice, there are also the letters ㄲ and ㅆ below which we haven't learned yet. Don't worry as they are pronounced like some of the letters you have already learned when in the final position, so for now don't worry those letters until the next section.
- Note: ㅃ, ㄸ and ㅉ can't appear in the final position.

| ㄹ | /l/ sound | In the final position ㄹ sounds like an /l/ sound instead of an /ɾ/ as we previously learned. However if ㄹ is followed by a vowel it is a /ɾ/ sound. Also if there are two consecutive ㄹ together, the second ㄹ also takes an /l/ sound. | |

Double Consonant Cluster
Sometimes there are two consonants in the final position such as the ㄺ in the word 닭 or the ㄼ in 여덟. We will cover this in the step 7 in the final section. Just be aware that it is possible to have 2 consonants in the final syllable even though it's not common.
