I have a pretty basic question for everyone regarding transliteration. Is there some sort of standardized method? Or does it just go by general consensus?

I think there's a standardized method, but you'd do better to just learn to freestyle it.

Lesson should include the Hangul for the name of the KPop girls in the banner.

No worries Chill!
I actually think you're right...
I'll edit that. It sounds better... or cleaner.

DON'T HATE ON MY SUNNY!
Well most of all, cuz of her aegyo. She's adorably cute. And also, I think if you watched Invincible Youth, you'd love her. But hey, if you don't like her, more for me! :3

It may just be me (or my Australian accent), but it seems pretty dang hard to write English words in Hangul correctly. Is the pronunciation that they choose to use as the basis for the transliteration arbitrary, or is there actually a system for working it out?
For example, I pronounce the first half of "Day Nine" and "Baneling" exactly the same (except for D<->B), but you have them written differently in Hangul.
edit: Tons of thanks for writing this blog series, though, it's got me interested in learning Korean and has been a blast to work through.
Yeah, after reading Chill'c comment I've since edited them.
It should be a bit more similar now.

Noooooooooo
This going to be slight derail but IDC, its your blog so you can ban me if you want lol.
Seohyun>>>Yoona>>Yuri>Taeyeon>>Jessica>>Tiffany=Sunny>>SooYoung.
And then somewhere in a ditch after a million arrows Hyoyeon.

I'm not gonna ban you for having an opinion silly. But I LOLD at your last comment.
Again, thank you to everyone who's contributing, you're improving the lesson as well as my Korean. <3

At the end of a lot of Korean phrases you'll see 합니다, or
hab-nee-dah
You mean "ham-nee-da" because of the rule yeah?
Anyways its great seeing you post these blogs its really good revision for me (:

Not sure what rule you're talking about. :3
But, I do know that Ms can sounds like Bs sometimes, and vice versa. Then again, my Korean sucks, so I'm actually not sure. -_-
|
I am of course in no way an expert on this!
but I think:
the "hab-nee-da" is correct but you speak it "ham-nee-da" because you don't open your
mouth again for the b so it becomes more like an m ? something like that?^^
try saying it out loud so this makes any sense at all :D
|
I think it would be spelled differently though.
hab 합
ham 함
Any Koreans care to shed some light on this?
I know 뭐예요 sounds like boyeyo sometimes.
|
Just spent like an hour and a half going through all of these, I've even got two pages written down (read: more work that I ever did at University) of all the stuff and all of the translation challenges.
I got most of it right, except for some of the English to Hangul ones (although I guess it's kind of debatable how to spell baneling in hangul), and I did 'racing' as rae-shing, not reh-ee-shing.
Seriously fun and I hope you keep it up, I'm learning lots ^^.

Technically it is 'gam sa hab ni da', but it's a really soft 'b' and it kinda gets buried. But if you say it slowly, you can clearly tell that it is 'hab', not 'ham'
Also, 뭐예요 shouldn't sound like boyeyo .
Keep up the good work btw :D

Thanks for clearing that up. ^^
Thank you very gamsa.
I might hear it as boyeyo cuz I'm deaf, and I have a hard time writing Korean that I hear even close to accurately. :3
