Korean Language: Vowels and Consonants

[mivkayla]

ah. All I hear is fuzzy white noise and it hurts my ears :/

[freakoutaddi]

hi, my keyboard is an english keyboard, so how can i change it to a korean one when i want to type in korean? thanks. :)

*Vowels

ㅏ.ㅑ - [a]. [ya]

ㅓ.ㅕ

ㅗ.ㅛ - [o].[yo]

ㅜ.ㅠ

ㅡ

ㅣ

(Basic form is same and add one more stroke than you can get [y-] sound.)

Thanks for posting this. The bright/dark vowel difference is actually quite handy to know... it's a great memory aid! For example, to make the polite informal (if I remember correctly) you drop 다 and add 아요 or 어요. But you have to remember which to add. But I realized... you just match bright and dark vowels. For example, in 오다, the stem has 오 which is a bright vowel, so you use 아요 ending, which is also bright: 와요. Knowing bright/dark makes it easy. Thanks!!

Do you want to know which Korean alphabet is on which key? If you want, I'll look for some info.

hey is this right

korean:ㅗ됴 ㅑㄴ 소ㅑㄴ 갸홋

tell me if i typed it propally

[dreamerhyeng]

you typed some vowels and consonants and most of them didn't make actual syllables.

Can't you see what you typed? anywya, nice try.

im not using a korean keyboard xD its a normal english keyboard

[WanderingTimelord]

Heh, it looks like you set your keyboard for Korean, but typed "hey is this right" in English. But that doesn't work because the key layout is different. If you type the "h" key, you get ㅗ which is pronounced "oh" in Korean.... so it ends up being just nonsense. You need to learn hangul, and the Korean keyboard layout....

i looked at a key board lay out on google but it had the same letters as english so i thought it was right can u tell me where to find a picture of a realy korean key boards lay out so i can print it out?

[WanderingTimelord]

I can't seem to post links here, but if you search for "Keyboard Layouts" on Wikipedia and scroll down to the Hangul section, it should have the information you need.

The dubeolshik (두벌식) layout is the one you get when you set Windows for Korean text input, I think.

Hope this is helpful!
