I met someone that keeps asking me how to pronounce korean words/letters. There is no b/p, it's b or p, same with g and k. Two different sounds in korean or english. It's romanization that mess things up. | ||

Two different sounds in korean or english. It's romanization that mess things up. I detect a difference, and my studies have supported it. In Korean the contrast is between aspirated and not while in English it is between voiced or unvoiced. That is to say, you can aspirate B or P as much or as little as you like or ease of speech demands, but it doesn't change the meaning. But they are distinctly different in that B must be voiced and P much be unvoiced. In Korean it's the opposite, no? ㅍ must be aspirated and ㅂcan't be, but they both generally sound semi-voiced to me. But since we tent to aspirate P more than B I think there becomes a more obvious way to romanize it. This becomes difficult for SBENU because we can't really easily say unvoiced S followed by voiced B without a bit of a pause or gap between. But it definitely seems right to aspirate the B less than you would for a typical "sp" even if you aren't voicing it. | ||

Back on topic, happy for StarTale and Bomber, hope we see more great things from all of them in PL as well as in Korean leagues and international events! Where are you from? $100 is quite average where I live. I feel I should point out I do not mean that in an offensive way whatsoever, I'm just curious what kind of shoes you are getting for $10. | ||

But it definitely seems right to aspirate the B less than you would for a typical "sp" even if you aren't voicing it. both sound aspirated to me. just saying, if its sbenu its 스베누, not 스페누 and the two do not sound the same, similar, yes but only if one does not know how its spelled or never heard such pronunciation. but in this case we do so we can distinguish between b or p, ㅂ or ㅍ. as you say, with S in the front b might sound like p or b/p, but p can be exaggerated to make the difference while b does not. sbenu and spenu are different in english, so should/is in korean. im no linguists and i guess they're the ones on authority on how korean letters should be spelled with latin but it just irks me when i see something romanized and its pronounced differently than what its suppose to be (at least close as possible), goes both ways too though. like Bennu is an ancient egyptian deity so maybe it sounds different in its original pronunciation...its a never ending cycle (S for sonic with Bennu for phoenix, hence the logo) | ||
