날카롭다

Korean

Etymology

Derived from 냘 (nyal, “blade, edge”) (Modern 날 (nal, “blade”)): 냘 (nyal) + ㅎ (h) + —갑다 (-gapda) lead to 냘캅다 (nyalkapda), then the "y" sound was lost, leading to analysis as 날카 (nalka) + —롭다 (-ropda).

Pronunciation

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [na̠ɭkʰa̠ɾo̞p̚t͈a̠]
• Phonetic hangul: [날카롭따]
