English

Alternative forms

Proper noun

Rasŏn

1. A city in North Korea.

Usage notes

• The initial "R" is replaced with "N" (or with nothing or other consonants in other examples) in the South Korean standard, which is also reflected in the spelling, the jamo ㄹ (l) is replaced with ㄴ (n). The modern standard South Korean romanisation does not use ŏ to romanize the vowel [ʌ̹] (jamo: ㅓ (eo)) as is still done in North Korea, a digraph eo is used instead.

Synonyms

• Rajin-Sŏnbong
