🏐Writing Orders

“From left to right, from top to bottom” is the principle of writing. Don’t forget!

Let’s try writing in the air with our index finger while reading the vowels.

① ㅗ ➕ ㅏ = ㅘ

② ㅜ  ➕ ㅓ= ㅝ

③ ㅜ ➕ ㅣ = ㅟ

④ ㅗ ➕ | = ㅚ

⑤ ㅗ ➕ ㅐ = ㅙ

⑥ ㅜ ➕ ㅔ = ㅞ

 

🏐How to pronounce

The pronunciation of ‘ㅘ’ is a sound that comes from rapidly combining ‘ㅗ’ and ‘ㅏ’. 

Likewise, the pronunciation of ‘ㅝ’ is a sound that comes from rapidly combining ‘ㅜ’ and ‘ㅓ’. 

Likewise, the pronunciation of ‘ㅟ’ is a sound that comes from rapidly combining ‘ㅜ’ and ‘ㅣ’. 

💢BE CAREFUL!!! 

It is impossible for a positive vowel and a negative vowel, such as ‘ㅗㅔ’ or ‘ㅜㅐ’, to meet and form a diphthong. Therefore, the characters are modified for pronunciation, as in “ㅚ“. In conclusion, ‘ㅚ‘ is pronounced quickly as a combination of ‘ㅗ’ and ‘ㅔ’, but when writing, it is spelled as ‘ㅚ’.

ⓐ ㅗ ➕ ㅣ = ㅚ [ㅗ+ㅔ]
