행복하다
Korean
Etymology
From 행복 (幸福, haengbok, “happiness”) and the native Korean adjective 하다 (hada, “to be a certain way”).
Pronunciation
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈhɛ(ː)ŋbo̞kʰa̠da̠] ~ [ˈhe̞(ː)ŋbo̞kʰa̠da̠]
- Phonetic hangul: [행(ː)보카다/헹(ː)보카다]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
