Hangul 5 : Batchim (Final Consonant) (받침)

     The consonants on the end of a syllable are called 'Batchim'. The sound of the final consonants is based on 7 consonants : ㄱ , ㄴ , ㄷ , ㄹ , ㅁ , ㅂ and ㅇ. When the letters with 'red' colour are placed at the end of a syllable, we need to pronounce them using the sound of the 'green' coloured letters. Their (red letters) original sound which we had learnt before are no longer used.

ㄱ , ㄲ , ㅋ                                 ~>ㄱ = K

ㄴ                                               ~> ㄴ = N

ㄷ , ㅅ , ㅆ , ㅈ , ㅊ , ㅌ , ㅎ      ~> ㄷ = T

ㄹ                                              ~> ㄹ = L

ㅁ                                              ~> ㅁ = M

ㅂ , ㅍ                                       ~> ㅂ = P

ㅇ                                              ~> ㅇ = NG
