"방"

Translation: room

[AnneBromme]

Isn't this bread?

[sakuyaluigi]

No, 빵 is bread.

[XxSiennaCxX]

How does it sound different I think is what she means

[ErnestoB-]

The emphasis on the "B" sound. Like saying BBang and Bang.

[ph.yru3sp]

The 'B' AND 'P' ARE WRITTEN SAME

[vinny..btsarmy]

yes

[MiamotoShi]

p: ㅍ, ㅂ(at the start of a word)
b: ㅃ

[haniya95508]

Thanks

[MiamotoShi]

wdym

[MiamotoShi]

i would pronounce it like
pang: room
bang: bread

[Jichuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Room=Bang
Bread=(double B in hangul=PP) Ppang

[Anuchandrimalisa]

빵 is bread

[Maple733502]

In 빵 the b sound has more emphasis

[SaliuIyabo]

This consonant ㅂ is pronounced b or p?

[QueefPrincess]

at the start of a jamo its pronounced b and at the end of a jamo its pronounced p

[ShereeneHe]

What is jamo?

[MiamotoShi]

i think its a character like 실 or 안

[MiamotoShi]

p at the start of a word
b anywhere else

[Pamily7]

Thanks

[_shreya_wagh_15]

Correct

[akira300]

We have either B or P, but in Korean there're 3 sounds, ㅂ ㅃ ㅍ. We studied phonology a bit in elementary and B and P are very similar, P being the "silent" version of B. Try whispering both B and P and you'll see there's not much of a difference. There're a lot of pairs like this (D and T are ㄷ ㄸ ㅌ).

[GiovanniSantucci]

I prefer using the terms "voiced"/"unvoiced" over "silent" but yes. But there are other aspects to it in Korean--especially aspiration. My understanding is ㅍ is the only "p/b" letter that should be aspirated in Korean (similar to ㅌ and ㅋ and ㅊ). Native English speakers tend to aspirate voiceless stops (p, t, k) when they begin stressed syllables, but not when they begin unstressed syllables. For example, "paper" has first an aspirated p, then an unaspirated p.

The other distinction to be found is in "tenseness" where double consonants are more "tense" or "emphasized" but I haven't figured out how to explain that in English yet.

[Jutja]

There are also ㄱ,ㄲ,ㅋ/ㅈ,ㅉ,ㅊ and ㅅ, ㅆ

[Charlotte101083]

What letter are those?

[Jichuuuuuuuuuuuu]

All this bread so yummy yeah

[JulianeOli74094]

방 is room, like music room, dance room..

[Areeba257284]

No, bread has 2 times (p) and room has only one (p)☺️

[MiamotoShi]

imagine a room of bread.

a 빵방

[MiamotoShi]

that sound confusing, how to you pronounce it?

p-pang

or

pang

[nitukumari129176]

No....빵 Is bread while 방 is room

[Nyla_Renee]

Bread is 빵 so the pronunciation of it sounds like ppang, so room is 방 which doesnt sound like 빵

[ph.CoHYsZ]

What?... A bread ki Room

[Mjdeor]

Wats the difference between 빵 and 방 sound wise.

[Isaac_Luna_]

ㅃ is almost exactly like "B" in English. ㅂ is the one that sounds like something between "B" and "P" in English. Like Akira said, consult YouTube to hear what I'm talking about.

[mofushinderu]

I'm sorry but you're wrong about ㅃ sounding like an English "B". It sounds like a hard P, not a B. And by "hard" I mean with no air coming out, just the 'P' sound and hold it for a little longer.

[LeChatParle]

Wiktionary states that both words share the same pronunciation, with the IPA for both words being [p͈a̠ŋ]

https://ko.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EB%B9%B5

https://ko.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EB%B0%A9

But if you check Forvo, it sounds like 빵 is more "b" like and 방 is more "p" like

https://forvo.com/word/ko/%EB%B0%A9/#ko

https://forvo.com/word/ko/%EB%B9%B5/#ko

[Kaejoonisreal]

Saying ㅃ has more of a tense sound making it seem like your saying ㅍ when you pronounce it

[GiovanniSantucci]

Really? I thought ㅃ wasn't aspirated.

[Pimberly99]

I would say 빵 sounds more like bang in english where as 방 feels closer to pang when pronouncing them

[akira300]

ㅃ is between B and P. It's a double consonant. I think it would be the best to consult YouTube on this matter

[TaeismyBae2]

See ㅃ is more like P
And ㅂ is like B
Am i right?

[lang864129]

房(방)

[ayush2307]

If you are using App to learn korean then I strongly Recommend using the site Duolingo.com instead as it gives the important tips before every lesson.
