귀환 불능 지점
Korean edit
Etymology edit
Sino-Korean word from 귀환(歸還) (gwihwan, “return”) + 불능(不能) (bulleung, “impossibility”) + 지점(地點) (jijeom, “point”).
Pronunciation edit
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈkɥi(ː)βwa̠n puɭɭɯŋ t͡ɕid͡ʑʌ̹m] ~ [ˈky(ː)βwa̠n puɭɭɯŋ t͡ɕid͡ʑʌ̹m]
- Phonetic hangul: [귀(ː)환 불릉 지점]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
