[jeongseokdeul ] standard sequences.

This is a work in progress, compiled from

many online and offline sources by Marcel
Gr
unauer, with help from Kim Byung-moon
(
). There are still many things that
cant be right.
For example, some terms
have multiple, partially conflicting, meanings,
and there are several terms for the same
thing.
Please send additions, corrections
and comments to marcel@noug.at.
Check
http://gote.at/go/baduk terminology.pdf regularly for updates.
There are four sections: The first section,
Baduk Terms, provides english translations
for words and phrases often found in Korean
baduk books. The second section, Baduk Book
Guide, provides translations for titles of Korean baduk books. The third section, Player
Names, lists the names of korean (as well as
other) players along with their romanizations.
The fourth section, Example Phrases provides
useful phrases to use on baduk servers or when
speaking with your Korean baduk friends.
Entries are sorted according to hangeul alphabetical order. Pronunciation for the hangeul
terms is given according to the Revised Romanization, which was officially introduced by South
Korean authorities in 2000.
Note that [eo] is pronounced like the aw in
thaw ;
[ae] like the a in bat;
[j ] like the
dg in edge;
[ch] like the aspirated ch in chop;
[eu] like the u in pull, but without the lip
rounding. Before
[i ],
[s] (but not
[ss])
is pronouned sh. Double consonants are voiceless, not aspirated and more explosive than their
single counterparts.

Making nouns from verbs For many korean

verbs you can take the dictionary form (the
one ending in - [da]) and replace the with - [gi ], thereby using the verb as a
noun. For example,
[baggwochida]
to trade (verb);
[baggwochigi ] the
trading (noun).

X
X0

Plural marker [deul ] is the particle for

forming a plural. Only necessary if you
explicitly dont mean the singular; normally, a noun can be singular and plural, depending on the context. Examples:
[dol ] stone(s),
[doldeul ] stones;
[chaek ] book(s),
[chaekdeul ] books;



Stone
[dol ] is an originally korean word for
stone.
[seok ] also means stone, but is
of chinese origin. Hence
[jeongseok ]
correct stone(s). Also
[badukdol ] go
stone (jap. ishi ).

Player Names
Often, the prevalent romanization is not in the
Revised Romanization; therefore, the most common romanization is still used, but the Revised
Romanization is given as well to make pronounciation more consistent throughout this guide.
For example,
is most often romanized as
Cho Hun-hyeon, so that is what I have used here.
However, the Revised Romanization is [Jo Hunhyeon], so I have added that as well to enable the
reader to pronounce the name correctly within
the pronounciation guidelines given at the beginning. I have not, however, gone as far as to
include all sorts of weird romanizations such as
Cho Hun-hyun and the like.
