"Child, milk"
Translation:아이, 우유
181 CommentsThis discussion is locked.
It seems as if most of the confusion is from people using romanization. ㅏ Doesn't make a sound like "ay" or "ah". It makes the "aw" sound. ㅣ Doesn't make a sound like "ie" or "ih". It makes the "ee" sound. Once you memorize the alphabet, abandon romanization, the characters don't make the exact sounds romanized, it's really hard to replicate most of the sounds with the simple English letters.
I think you are the first person to ever explain 아 to me as being more similar to "aw" rather than "ah". I feel like people always say it's like "ah" and I get confused because to my ears it doesn't sound like that, but then I'm afraid of being the dumb American who pronounces it like we often pronounce the letter A in English words. I think if I try to focus on leaning more towards "aw" than either of the other two, then maybe the pronunciation will be a bit closer. Thank you!
Yeah i also agree, I am watching Youtube videos on the subject and then use this app and I'm getting mixed messages.... Just using Hangeul seems the way to go.
http://www.ryanestrada.com/learntoreadkoreanin15minutes/ this helped me a lot when i first started learning hangul and the pronunciation of the hangul. some things are different when it is romanized because hangul doesn't have a direct roman character translation.
I don't het how it translates to child, milk, like I don't understand how your suppose to figure that out
아 is "a" and 이 is "i" then together u get "ai", if you say it fast it'll sound better. 우 is "u" and 유 "yu" because of the added mark at the bottom that makes it a y. so together it is "uyu" pronounced as u-yo. hope this helps and aye namjoon :D
If anyone is stuggling with the alphabet, I found the app "Drops" very helpful with learning the Korean alphabet. Give it a go if you're interested. Also I strongly recommend writing down the translation of every letter you learn.
it's difficult when we have to match them because it makes a sound that looks different than how it should be pronounced so I fully agree with @Paul862466 on this topic.
The Korean pronunciation for "milk" sounds like that "ohyo" thing Sana says a lot. Any Onces here? lol
I cant tell, but it almost sounds like there's an h at the beginning of the pronunciation for child? I don't think there would be because that's not how the character usually sounds, but can't unhear it. Can somebody please confirm or deny whether my ears are playing tricks on me?
It's very hard to know which character is which, because they all sound the same, what I find hard and frustrating.
Stop this BTS or K-pop bcs this is a discussion box not for K-pop Pls my dear friends stop it bcs the discussion box is full of unnecessary comments pls delete this unnecessary comments.
Wait i just didn't put space by mistake so the app is showing it wrond i mean how !??
Im learing korean so i could watch my k dramas with no subtitles makes it feel much better
??? i dont get it. i know how to pronounce the letters but idk how to translate it. help please
I don't get how your suppose to sound that out like what when was I suppose to learn it
why does 우유 sound something like uio but it is u+o? I mean, is there any kind of rule or something?
Basically, 우 is like the "u" in blue, and 유 is a hard "y" + the 우 sound. Together it's kinda like "uu-yuu".
The double dash vowels have a hard "y" attached to the beginning -- think of 야, 여, 요, 유.
MayBe because its pronouned oo-ee-yi-oh and not uh-hee-yi-ah. Does that help?
Guys if there's letter 'a' in the pronounciation for ex. 'wae' , there's letter 'a' in it so we use '오', but if there are other vowels like i,e,o, etc. then we use 우 for ex. 'wi' (위) ? Pls correct me of im wrong
If you aren't native in English (like me) first you are thinking what does it mean? Then trying to translate it then your brain is blow up. Btw this comment not only for this example. So what can I say? I think I am learning two languages at the same time. But please duolingo add more laguages cause we need it
Okay so the romanizations really confuse me. I know the sounds from youtube videos, so the romanizations just dont fit and theyre confusing. Just abandon them once you have it down. :/
this is so annoying i translated it to english and it said the answer was wrong no the hell it wasnt
This may or may not help with closer production of vowels:
ㅣ/이: 'ee' sound, like in Bleed or Seed
ㅡ/으: sounds similar to the 'oo' in Good or Book
ㅏ/아: 'aw' like in Saw or Raw
ㅓ/어: 'uh' like in Sun or Run
ㅜ/우: 'oo' as in Moon or Soon
ㅗ/오: 'oh' like in Bold or Sold
ㅐ/ㅔ/애/에: these sound pretty similar, idk what their difference is, but it's like 'eh' in Bed or Red
Note that the ㅇ is not part of the vowel, it's actually a consonant. But, Korean requires a consonant and a vowel in a character, and when ㅇ is the 1st symbol in a character it is silent.
If I was wrong about anything here, let me know!

why is it teaching me how to say "child,milk" instead of "hello" or "how are you"????
Is it just me or is it like I don't understand the sounds like the sounds sound so diffrent from the actual words. It confuses me so much. I just decided use my notes but I still write down what it sounds like.
I just did not keep the space between , and 우유 but the spelling was same!
Hey guys I'm literally having a hard time writing down (milk) in a korean keyboard ...any suggestions or how did y'all manage to make it ?

What makes 유 yu, when the ㅇ is silent and ㅜ is U? I thought having them together would be UU instead of YU. And does that mean that the Y sounds like a Y with a U and not just Y?
