I've been wondering about "드라마 (drama)". The hangul has 3 blocks, so 3 syllables. But when I listen to it, it sounds exactly as if it has 2 syllables (sort of like 'dla-ma'), and I can't hear 3 syllables. Are the speakers really pronouncing it right, or are they pronouncing it as they know it would be in English (just 2 syllables)? --[[User:Gwern|Gwern]] 03:13, 9 July 2010 (PDT) | I've been wondering about "드라마 (drama)".

| + | :Great question Gwern. Perhaps we wish answer this on one of the pages too. The first syllable is like saying D in English, but Korean needs a consonant and a vowel paired. So usually often words with the 으 vowel paired with a noun don't get the 으 emphasized. Another exampel is 스트레스 (stress). The first two syllables (스트) don't have the 으 vowel really emphasized. Does that make sense? I might include this in the FAQ if you found this answer satisfactory. --[[User:DigitalSoju|DigitalSoju]] 05:46, 9 July 2010 (PDT) | ||
