FINE

ㄹ - Here's a source of much trepidation. At the beginning of a word, this is r. When surrounded by vowels on both sides, it's also r. When there's a consonant directly after it, it's r again. It can also be L, but only at the end of a word or when followed by another ㄹ and its respective vowel. This is why you'll see lalala written in hangeul as 랄랄라, because 라라라 would be rarara. Unlike Japanese, there is an L sound in Korean!! When next to ㄴ (either before or after), it makes the ll sound.

Thought you were on my side, Koir?


I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I said and all the feelings I hurt.. Please forgive me
