Etymology

Nativisation of the Sino-Korean term 점심 (點心, jeomsim, “lunch, snack”). Hypercorrected via the same process that produced 김치 (gimchi, kimchi), 기와 (giwa, roof tile).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈki(ː)mɕʰim]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
