Hangul
Why 감사합니다 sounds like 감사함니다
Hangul spelling lies beautifully. Here's the decoder.
Die Erklärung ist Englisch. Koreanische Zeilen und Sinn folgen deiner Sprache.
Sound rules shift letters at syllable boundaries: ㄱ + ㅎ → ㅋ (축하 → 추카), and final ㄷ/ㅅ/ㅆ all snap to [t] before a pause.
Liaison: a final consonant hops to an empty vowel slot. 한국어 sounds 한-구-거. 음악 sounds 유막 — trust your ears over your eyes.
You don't memorize these — you absorb them by reading aloud. But knowing they EXIST stops the 'wait, why?' spiral.
