Usage notes edit

  • The National Institute of Korean Language prescribes the spelling 애피타이저 (aepitaijeo), but the spelling 에피타이저 (epitaijeo) is somewhat more common in practice. There is no pronunciation difference between the two, as the relevant vowels have merged in twenty-first-century Korean.
