Description

This rule falls under the rule: ㄱ, ㄲ, ㅋ + ㄴ, ㅁ where a /k/ sound 받침 collides with a nasal sound(ㄴ,ㅁ) and becomes a nasal sound also (ㅇ). This rule also applies when ㅋ is in the 받침 position and the next word's first letter is a nasal sound, i.e. "부엌 문."

Pronunciation 'Rule:

  • Case 1: 'ㅋ' 받침 + 'ㄴ' or 'ㅁ' → ㅋ gets pronounced as ㅇ(/ŋ/)

Examples

  • 부엌 문 → "부엉 문"
