Are you about to be overwhelmed again? Please don’t be.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!
1. There is a certain rule in Korean that the sound of the final consonant in the former
block combines with the sound of the initial consonant in the latter block.
2. , or that the sound of the initial consonant in the latter block changes while the sound of
the final consonant in the former block still remains.
3. , or that the sound of the final consonant in the former block moves to the position of
the consonant in the latter block when there is ‘ㅇ’ in it since ‘ㅇ’ doesn’t have any
sound, it absorbs the sound of the final from the former block.
4. I would like to say you don’t have to worry about this right now. Because we are going
to explain every time you confront such things.

This part added ‘present progressive’ tense to
the sentence.
Subject is sometimes removed in Korean.

So, it’s became sound like this!

1. The final of the former block tend to move to the initial of the latter

안자있다
block in Korean.
2. Since ‘ㅇ’ doesn’t have any sound, it absorbs whole sound of the
final of the former block.
3. In this case, ‘ㄴ’ sound remains in the first block and ‘ㅈ’ sound
goes up to the next block.

2. The double consonant ‘ㅆ’ exactly sounds the same as ‘ㅅ’. It applies any
double consonant used as the final in the block. 안자잇다
You don’t really need to know 2, 3 now. It’s not helping.

안자읻따
3. We mentioned that in Korean-Korean dictionary they say that ‘ㅅ’ actually
sounds like ‘ㄷ’ and it adds the one more ‘ㄷ’ sound to the final block so that
the fourth bock sounds like double consonant ‘ㄸ’ when we actually speak it.
