Funny how bread is pang in Korean and pan in Spanish.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/niskigwun

The word originally came from Portuguese explorers.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/carmenmsouza

Oh, true? Hope they have more portuguese words, it would help a lot


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/BruYsys

Concordo/I agree

  • missionaries, mostly. They're the first that bothered to compile dictionaries and to try and learn the language, so the Japanese and Korean people also got a few terms from them

Ikr, my first language is Spanish (native spanish speaker) and English is my second language (bilangual duh) so Korean would be my third language lol

Also for Japanese (pan), French (pain), and other languages.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Paul862466

It's not pang, it's romanized as "ppang" and is closer to pong, as in ping pong.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/goohayoon

Even in French it's called "pain", same pronounciation as the korean word 빵


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Tisuganie

True thats i remember it


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/hazlebee

The Japanese word for bread is also similar, "pan"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/HanKang2003

...cuz it is a loan word


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/nadasivan

It's almost like French = pain


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Anbang2

Pão in portuguese


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/UTFong

包 = pao = pan


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Keith_APP

The origin of 包 in Chinese is on its own. It is not a loan word.

    How do I type this (in particular, the pp bit)?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Paul862466

    Press shift, then tap on ㅂ, if it's on mobile, it should change to ㅃ. If it's on computer, it will stay the same on the keyboard (duh) but it will type as ㅃ


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/patricia201498

    in hungarian "kenyér" thats actually harder than the korean one LOL


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ArffaTasya

    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/TakiyahW.

    Ooohhh, where I come from, roti is something made with flour, but definitely not bread, lolz


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Mariel142238

    Can someone please break down the pronunciation of 빵 (bread) and 방 (room). Thank you


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/SenhoritaU

    A pronúncia é parecida com o português '--'


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/PereiraJr3

    빵 veio do português


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/balqis637326

    빵 = パン have same meaning


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Lorenna955496

    This sounds like "pão", what means bread in portuguese lol


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/escritoral

    The only word that I can pronunce.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/UnsukJung

    Why does it say 책 is correct?!


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Yoonmin15078

    I had the same question!!??


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/JulieCast1

    Omg suena como pan xD Así sera mas fácil de recordar


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/hyyhxkth

    double consonants confuse me, what's the difference?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/drempelz

    As for what i know, one ㅂ is pronounced as b, while the double ㅂㅂ is pronounced as pp. Same for ㄱ = g, while ㄱㄱ is more like k.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/NanaSabrin1

    The pronounciation of it, is it "bbang" or "ppang"? A bit confused since ㅂ can be (b/p)*.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/joserobjr

    This looks like Pão from portugese
