Pachim ExplanationIn Hangul, a Korean syllable may end with a consonant (or two). This part of the syllable is calledthe pachim, and it is the bottom most part of the syllable. Syllables that end with vowels do nothave pachim. '
ㅇ
' is a consonant, and all Korean words start with a consonant. In addition, if asyllable ends with a '
ㅇ
', then it makes the sound 'ng' like in the English word 'song'. In othercases, it has no sound, leaving the first sound of a syllable to be a vowel sound. However, keep inmind this rule: a final consonant of a syllable is pronounced as the initial sound of the next syllableif it begins with '
ㅇ
' (a vowel sound). For example,
이것은
 
sounds like
이거
