Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Japanese タバコ (tabako, tobacco).

First attested as Early Modern Korean 담파고(淡婆姑) (tamphakwo) in the Jibong yuseol (芝峯類說 / 지봉유설), 1614; thereafter, also attested variously as Early Modern Korean 담파귀 (tamphakwuy), 담바 (tampa), and 담ᄇᆡ (tampoy).

Pronunciation

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