"The road is wide."

Translation: 길이 넓습니다.

[baelasi]

It tells me I have a typo when I get the wrong Korean word! I put in 길이 낮습니다 and it was marked correct with a typo.

please report such mistakes as "my answer should not be excepted". Even it is one letter, it changed the meaning.

A better word for road is 도로, since 길 refers to more narrow pathways and is more akin to "street".

When I click 넓습니다, she sounds like she has a lisp. I have heard some non-Korean speakers say a Korean celebrity has a lisp but now I'm wondering whether it's a common sound made in certain words. Similar to "ㄴ" sounding like "ㄷ" or "ㄸ" at times. Can anyone explain this?

[slycordinator]

The Korean text to speech software used on the site isn't the best by any means. In fact, it's pretty bad.

But a reason why ㄴ can sound like ㄷ is related to tongue positioning. When I pronounce "d", my tongue touches the roof of my mouth close to the teeth and when I make an "n" sound, my tongue touches further back in the softer areas.

But Koreans pronounce both ㄴ and ㄷ with the tongue touching the front teeth. And both letters are pronounced by them with the tongue a bit softer against the roof than I would for "n".

It's really common and Koreans who do it likely don't even notice they're doing it.
