가엾다
Korean
editEtymology
editFirst attested in the 經世指掌 / 경세지장, 1765, as Early Modern Korean ᄀᆞ이업다 (Yale: ko-i epta). From 가 (ga, “end”) + 이 (-i, subject marker) + 없다 (eopda, “to not exist”), originally meaning "to be endless", but no longer perceived as such.
Pronunciation
edit- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈka̠(ː)jʌ̹p̚t͈a̠]
- Phonetic hangul: [가(ː)엽따]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
