Vowels with a "y" sound

You should remember these simpler vowels from our earlier lesson:

• ㅏ = a
• ㅓ = eo
• ㅗ = o
• ㅜ = u

Writing Y vowels

By adding an extra line we can add a “y” sound like this:

• ㅑ = ya
• ㅕ = yeo
• ㅛ = yo
• ㅠ = yu

Combined with the consonant “ㄱ” they sound like this: 갸(“gya”), 겨(“gyeo”), 교(“gyo”), 규(“gyu”).
Combined with the consonant “ㄷ” they sound like this: 댜(“dya”), 뎌(“dyeo”), 됴(“dyo”), 듀(“dyu”).
