Hello everyone!😀

This is the K-culture blog.

Hangul Consonants and Vowels [Consonants]

First, let's learn about Hangul consonants!

Including complex consonants, Hangul has the following consonants:

ㄱ, ㄲ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄸ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅃ,

ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅉ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅎ

There are a total of 19 characters.

The order of basic Hangul consonants is

ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅍ, ㅎ.

These 14 consonants are basic.

And if you write the basic consonants side by side twice, they become complex consonants.

Complex consonants include

  ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ.
