맘속

Korean

Etymology

From 맘 (mam, “mind”, contraction of 마음 (ma'eum)) +‎ ㅅ (-s-, genitive interfix; omitted from the spelling, but this causes the tense phonation of the following consonant) +‎ 속 (sok, “inside, the inside”).

Pronunciation
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈma̠(ː)ms͈o̞k̚]
  • Phonetic hangul: [맘(ː)쏙]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
