🌟 Day 41: Pronunciation Rule – When ㅎ (h) Meets ㅅ (s)

 

Hello again, amazing learners! 😊
Today, we’re going to explore another super useful Korean pronunciation rule that will make your Korean sound even more natural and fluent.

---

🔍 Today’s Rule

When ㅎ (h) comes before ㅅ (s):

➡️ The ㅎ sound disappears,
➡️ And ㅅ becomes a stronger, clearer ㅆ (ss) sound.

So instead of pronouncing both letters, you’ll just pronounce ㅆ.

This is one of those small things that can make a big difference in your Korean pronunciation!

📘 Example Words

Word Hangul Pronunciation Meaning

좋아서	좋아서	조아써 (jo-a-sseo)	Because (I) like (it)
괜찮습니다	괜찮습니다	괜찬씀니다 (gwaen-chan-sseum-ni-da)	It's okay
못해서	못해서	모태써 (mo-tae-sseo)	Because (I) can’t

As you can see, the ㅎ disappears and the ㅅ gets emphasized.
