낫다
Korean edit
Etymology edit
First attested in the Gugeupbang eonhae (救急方諺解 / 구급방언해), 1466, as Middle Korean 낫〮다〮 (Yale: nás-tá).
Presumed original sense: "to get better" as a verb, splitting into a general adjective and a more semantically specific verb in modern usage. Compare Middle Korean 둏〯다〮 (Yale: tyǒh-tá, “to become good; to recover from an illness”), which this verb partially replaced.
Pronunciation edit
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈna̠(ː)t̚t͈a̠]
- Phonetic hangul: [낟(ː)따]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
