How to Pronounce “Yes” in Korean
In Korean, the word for “yes” is “네” (pronounced as “ne”).
To pronounce “네,” follow these steps:
- Start with the “n” sound, as in the English word “no.”
- Close your mouth slightly and make the “eh” sound in the middle of your mouth.
- Combine the “n” sound with the “eh” sound to say “ne.”
Remember, the pronunciation of “ne” should be short and crisp.
Note: In more formal or polite settings, Koreans might use “예” (pronounced as “ye”) instead of “네.” The pronunciation of “예” is similar to “ne,” but with a slightly longer “y” sound in the beginning.
Hope this helps!
