"한국의 신문"

Translation: Korean newspaper

[EquanimousLingo]

But isn't 의 pronounced 'ui'? It sounds like 'eh'..

[UltimetaSy]

의 is an anomaly. If it's in front it's pronounced 'ui'. But if in the end it can be either 'e' or 'i'.
Don't ask me why. I'm also beginner.

[yijkan]

to be more specific, at the end, it is only pronounced 'e' when it indicates possession. otherwise, it is always pronounced 'i'

[safibta]

Thanks.

[Ash-Fred]

의 as a particle (meaning of) can also be pronounced 에. This is the only case in Korean where pronunciation does not come from letters.

[HanAuChocolat]

Thanks for answering! This has confused me for ages.

[MFaqih28.id]

Me too

[MichalaK_EU]

The confusion is that if I hear 에, i will think "mmh okay, there are also newspapers in Korea, interesting, as if i hadn't guessed it !!!"

[AndrewMitc994786]

Like 신림 and 왕십리.

[HP1895]

의미 is not pronounced that way I think?

[talynnn]

you're right, it's because in '의미', the '의' is at the beginning, so it's pronounced differently than in '한국의'

[BunnyKookie0]

Uimi

[vb_7.7.7]

Koreans pronounce it as ey or eh as it is more natural

[KimSuNa_7]

I thought so too i think it changes depending on the word its with

[reethu04]

Yeah

[lang864129]

韓國의 新聞

[MightyXT]

Why hanja?

[CadeWilkerson]

对对对

[zlin27]

신문: 新聞

[George418878]

I was marked wrong for "Korean news." I guess 신문 is specifically "newspaper" and not "the news."

[Asenath109305]

Yeah also got it wrong

[Leonsl]

true

[HaruPotter]

What' the difference between 의 and 에?

[Rosofia02]

의 indicates possession, where as 에 indicates location.

[EquanimousLingo]

Like Japanese の and へ

[CX948]

Yeah, but the pronunciations are not the same.

[Panchete1]

But the problem is that both sound like /e/, so I'm not sure how koreans understand the difference between "in Korea" and "of Korea". 한국에/ˈha̠ːnɡuk̚e/, 한국의/ˈha̠ːnɡuk̚e/. Any idea?

[VETH1711]

I think is you know this by the context but idk, i'm beginner... Probably i'm wrong

[cherrynpeaches]

Maybe it's just like with the plural forms. You don't really use them but you can understand that the other is meaning multiple persons from the context

[Ricardo815422]

한국의 신문 = hangug-ui sinmun = Korea (relationship, ownership) newspaper = Korean newspaper

[Stela725835]

Does the 의 part make it an adjective?

[Ash-Fred]

의 means "of". 한국의 신문 literally translates to "the newspaper of Korea"

[safibta]

Thanks Ashton. I now see that 의=ean as in 한국의=Korean.

[AricAdam]

And "Korean" means "of Korea".

[CyaCyaCya]

Shouldn't it mean "The newspaper of Korea"?

[ph.T9FbRd]

Why are you guys learning Korean?
I am learning because I qant to understand BTS

[SwastiVyas]

I am also an Army

[dangerplay5]

I am also a army

[talynnn]

I'm also a kpopper, but I'm learning rather because Korean is such a pretty language :)

[talynnn]

Why not the ㄴ ending like in many adjectives (좋은, 예쁜, 나쁜, ....) ? Isn't 의 used for ownership?

[Lijil]

So similar to the Japanese word 新聞 shinbun

[CX948]

Don't know how that happened from xin1 wen2.

[KarinKimm]

You can just say 한국 신문 as they usually do. Without 의 it also means "Korean newspaper"

[EdwardMead3]

That is true. It doesn't have to be included, it it is understood--topic oriented. For the lesson problem, the instructor wants us to assume that the topic is not understood.

[Juanxm1]

Hi! Would this literally mean "Korea's newspaper"?

[MightyXT]

ㅅ in 신문 sounds more like sh than s.
Any reason why?

[ItsBash]

Usually when theres a 이 after ㅅ they say shi. So thats why it sounds like shimun

[ItsBash]

If 한국 (의) means possession how come when i put Korean's it was wrong?

[A.R.M.Ymyfandom]

Firstly when i joined to Duolingo then they teached korean as (hangug) now they r pronouncing (hangug) as (hanguge)!

[ph.Wd9Q9V]

Hello

[ph.Wd9Q9V]

Hello I love BTS

[ph.Wd9Q9V]

I am also a army

[ph.8ZvvR0]

Why it's so difficult.....

[AbbyOtter]

So both Korean newspaper and Korea's newspaper are correct ??

[HayleyTung]

can't it be Korean news?

[xMira_]

I feel like that might connote a tv show? Like CNN... but instead of an american news network, a Korean one.

[zedricktorres]

I see Sana, I upvote.

[Meli089]

Why isn't it 한국어?

[Ash-Fred]

한국어 신문 would be a newspaper in Korean, I guess.

[Karpaloinen]

Can you hear if she says 'shinmun' or 'shimmun'? I'm unsure.

[ethan500487]

Is the true meaning closer to a newspaper owned by the korean government or just a newspaper that originated in Korea but not necessarily belonging to Korea?
