Pachim Explanation

In Hangul, a Korean syllable may end with a consonant (or two). This part of the syllable is called
the pachim, and it is the bottom most part of the syllable. Syllables that end with vowels do not
have pachim. 'ㅇ' is a consonant, and all Korean words start with a consonant. In addition, if a
syllable ends with a 'ㅇ', then it makes the sound 'ng' like in the English word 'song'. In other
cases, it has no sound, leaving the first sound of a syllable to be a vowel sound. However, keep in
mind this rule: a final consonant of a syllable is pronounced as the initial sound of the next syllable
if it begins with 'ㅇ' (a vowel sound). For example, 이것은 sounds like 이거. (Sayinkorean.com, 2008)
