Batchim: how Korean final consonants work
Batchim is the consonant written at the bottom of a Hangul syllable block. It affects the final sound and often interacts with the next syllable.
밥 · bap
한국 · Hanguk
한국 · Hanguk
Some written consonants share the same final sound, and linking can change what you hear when the next syllable begins with a vowel.
