못되다
Korean edit
Etymology edit
Univerbation of 못 (mot, “poorly”) + 되다 (doeda, “to become”).
Pronunciation edit
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈmo̞(ː)t̚t͈we̞da̠] ~ [ˈmo̞(ː)t̚t͈ø̞da̠]
- Phonetic hangul: [몯(ː)뛔다/몯(ː)뙤다]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
