Welcome to K-Nova! I am Teacher Nova. Today, we will learn Double Consonants (Ssang-jaeum, 쌍자음). These are also called ‘Tense Sounds’.
(🇵🇭 Maligayang pagdating sa K-Nova! Ngayong araw, pag-aaralan natin ang mga Dobleng Katinig. Tinatawag din itong ‘Tense Sounds’ o matitigas na tunog.)
💡 Teacher Nova’s Secret Tip! (Sikreto ni Teacher Nova!)
Good news for Filipinos! The Tagalog ‘K, T, P’ sounds are actually very similar to the Korean Double Consonants (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ)! Do NOT pronounce them with air like English. Tighten your throat and speak like a true Filipino!
(🇵🇭 Magandang balita! Ang tunog ng Tagalog na ‘K, T, P’ ay katulad ng Korean ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ! Wag itong bigkasin nang may hangin tulad sa English. Higpitan ang lalamunan at bigkasin tulad ng pag-Tagalog!)
1. The Back of the Tongue
ㄱ (Basic): Soft ‘G’ sound.
ㄲ (Double): Tight and hard. Very similar to the Tagalog ‘K’.
(🇵🇭 Matigas na tunog. Katulad ng Tagalog na ‘K’.)
2. The Tongue Tip
ㄷ (Basic): Soft ‘D’ sound.
ㄸ (Double): Tight and hard. Very similar to the Tagalog ‘T’.
(🇵🇭 Matigas na tunog. Katulad ng Tagalog na ‘T’.)
3. The Lips
ㅂ (Basic): Soft ‘B’ sound.
ㅃ (Double): Tight and hard. Very similar to the Tagalog ‘P’.
(🇵🇭 Matigas na tunog. Katulad ng Tagalog na ‘P’.)
4. The Teeth
ㅅ (Basic): Soft ‘S’ sound.
ㅆ (Double): Sharp and strong ‘SS’ sound. Tighten your throat!
(🇵🇭 Matulis at matigas na tunog. Higpitan ang lalamunan!)
ㅈ (Basic): Soft ‘J’ sound.
ㅉ (Double): Tight and hard ‘JJ’ sound.
(🇵🇭 Matigas na tunog na ‘JJ’.)
🎧 Listen to the Nova Player above and compare the Basic vs. Double sounds!
(🇵🇭 Pakinggan ang Nova Player sa itaas at ihambing ang Basic at Double na tunog!)
💡 Romanization vs. Real Sound (Spelling vs. Tunog)
We write these as ‘kk, tt, pp, ss, jj’ in English, but they are just symbols! Do NOT pronounce them like English words. Tighten your throat, hold your breath for a split second, and release the sound with NO extra air escaping.
(🇵🇭 Sinusulat natin itong ‘kk’, ‘ss’ sa English, pero simbolo lang ito. HINDI ito binibigkas tulad ng English! Higpitan ang lalamunan, pigilan ang hininga sandali, at ilabas ang tunog nang walang hangin.)
