업신여기다
Korean
Etymology
First attested in the Bullyu dugongbu si eonhae (分類杜工部詩諺解 / 분류두공부시언해), 1481, as Middle Korean 업시너기다 (Yale: epsinekita).
From 없— (eop(s)-, “not have”) + —이 (-i, suffix) + 너기— (neogi-) (> modern 여기— (yeogi-, “to consider; to think; to deem”)) + —다 (-da, ending).
Pronunciation
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈɘ(ː)pɕ͈inɲʌ̹ɡida̠]
- Phonetic hangul: [업(ː)씬녀기다]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
