Korean Dictionary – 한국어 사전

In learning any language it is essential to have a reliable dictionary to reference with.  When I decided that I will learn Korean the linguistics way, I stopped on buying phrase books and began looking for reference materials that would help me in my objective.

I initially bought a thin English-Korean / Korean-English Dictionary just for the heck of getting one for my basics. It really felt short with my needs as it contains limited words.  Then I invested to a relatively pricey one although its just around 11USD or Php 498,  I bought Berlitz Korean Compact Dictionary (한국어 사전 – Hankugeo Sajeon) in a local bookstore, PowerBooks.

Unlike the English dictionary, one should be cautious in using an English-Korean / Korean-English Dictionary.  Korean has this dictionary form for words specifically on verbs and this is not the form used in a conversation.  This is also something that you will miss learning when you dwell too much on phrasebooks.  It is also important to note that in a sentence Korean normally uses particles or marker for subject, topic or object. These particles form part of the word and is pronounced without any pause. So the word 나 (Na – which mean I or me) can be heard as:

  • 내가 or 내 (Naega or nae) – I as subject in a sentence
  • 나는 or  난 (Naneun or Nan) – I as topic in a sentence the second one in contracted form
  • 나의 (Naui) – possessive form as in mine or my
  • 나도 (Nado) – Me too or I too

I find this dictionary comprehensive enough for my needs.  It even contains some modern words and notation if the word is vulgar, colloquial or humble.  Notation if word is related to computer, financial, biology, anatomy or which specific part of speed (noun, verb, adjective) is likewise available.

The featured word is printed bold and in color blue so it’s easy to spot what you are looking for.  I guess this is a better dictionary compared to the rest I saw while searching for one.  There are bigger versions but so far this handy sajon is good enough for me.

        he was asking if that dictionary is available in Jakarta, Indonesia as it is hard to get foreign books especially Korean.

      4. 안녕하세요.
        Im learning on my own and I found it really hard. Sometimes i forgot the words and its “meaning” but some i remember. Can you help me, what is the korean for Im sorry I fell asleep last night. Haha. I know hangul alphabet for many years andi can read. Can you also help me where can I find the good link in youtube in learning korran words phrases etc. Im hoping for your reply. As soon as possible. 고맙습니가. 🙂

      7. I believe its something cultural with Koreans and adding a or ya at the end of the name is like an endearment, denotes close relationship. So a name ending in ah or a is when the last sound of the name is consonant like Sungmin would be Sungmina while for vowel ending name like Hana it would be Hanaya.

      2. Hi Yumiyuhana! ang pagkakasunod ng salita sa korea ay iba sa paraan ng Filipino o ng English. Kung ang usual na sentence ng English at Filipino ay may order na Subject-Verb-Object (i.e. I love you) ang Korean sy sumusunod sa pattern na Subject-Object-Verb (I you love). I think my post ako tungkol dito please search na lang word order 🙂

  2. what does “hagoshipo” mean in english.
    Please reply, I just started learning korean two months ago and i keep hearing this word but i dont know what it means

    Reply

    1. thanks for dropping by…
      하 (ha) means to do
      고 싶어 (-go shipo) is an auxiliary verb which means want to or wish to it cannot stand on its own so it needs a verb before it in the base form.
      so, 하고 싶어 (hago shipo) means wanting to or wishing to do something

      1. Hello! is the book you have mentioned still available on powerbooks? i am studying korean too. luckily, i bought a book from samuel e. martin, a helpful thin book which i purchased at national bookstore.

      2. yup i think so. you can call the store if you want to make sure before going there. i also have that practical korean book by samuel martin. it’s a good way to jump start learning korean.

      4. the question is a bit to big to answer 🙂 i think you should try learning phrases first.

      1. hi hello i want to ask some thing ,.,,what is the meaning of hi and im fine in korean words plzzzzz reply,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

      2. annyonghaseyo.= how are you?/I’m fine/hello

        you can also use jal jinesseoyo for how are you and i am fine.
        if you heighten your pitch at the end you make it a question.

      3. 잘 지냈어요 (means how have you been), yeah i guess a rise in tone at the end of statement makes it sound like a question.

    2. 없겠지만 literally means will no longer exists but…
      없다 + -겠 = verb which mean not existing and future marker
      지만 means but or however.

      1. it’s not hard to learn it’s so easy than tagalo(philippine language) im korean and hal filipino… so i know which is the harder language to study…. just keep studying korean until you got it i promise it will work….

      4. its not hard if you love what you were doing … well, im having a hard time but im ebjoying most of the time :))

    2. Hi Hee Young Lee,I am a Filipina living now in Germany,are you sure learning KOrean Language was more easy than my Language?(Tagalog)…If so, then i will definitely learn Hangul for some reasons,In fact i find Korean Language very interesting and i hope i could speak even if its not in a perfect way,I noticed some of the Korean words are written like Germans,for example this words…ae,ue,oe,aue and some letters are pronounced likely this…D-T,G-K,P-T etc.Anyway thanks for sharing your experience,You can contact me in my email add and i´m willing to help you learn my Language.

      Reply

    1. hmm i think its saranghaeyo instead of sarangheo it actually means i love you but youc an also say saranghamnida which is a bit formal. the intimate one would be saranghae. the word it self is just a verb for ‘love’, as Korean can drop subject and object of the sentence thus counterpart for i and you cannot be found on that phrase but it means the same. you can also say ‘Na noreul saranghae’ Na meaning I and noreul meaning you with object particle on it. its a bit confusing since korean have a diffirent word order compared to English.

      1. Sorry, my dictionary is Berlitz, Korean “Concise” Dictionary (Korean-English) . (English-Korean), there is another Korean Dictionary that cost about S$50.00 but I prefer this one.

    5. I THINK ITS GAMSAHAMNIDA IN WRITTEN FORM BUT WHEN YOU PRONOUNCE ITS SOUND LIKE KAMSAHAMNIDA…. “K” WILL BE “G” IN WRITTEN FORM, “R” WILL BE “R” BUT SOUNDS LIKE “L”… KIMCHI BUT IT WOULD BE GIMCHI IN WRITTEN FORM… HOW MUCH IT COAST=> WILL BE ÕLMAYEYO

  9. I’m going to start my korean lesson another 2 weeks later, any advice that I can do my homework before I start?

    It looks very difference from Japanese, I find it is difficult to read the hangul, any good learning website can recommend me?

    Example :

    I’m sorry
    미안하다 is Mianhaeyo (which character is which one?)

    Thanks

    1. study the hangul characters first. there is a post here about it.
      미 – mi
      안 an
      하 – ha
      다 – da
      you have to learn how to read the hangul characters first, it’s important and it’s easy if you take a look at it. then how word is formed using these characters is the next thing to learn. if you notice it forms a block so one block is actually one syllable. in most cases the composition of block is Consonant-Vowel-Consonant or Consonant-Vowel. However, you will find patterns like C-V-C-C.

      Try buying Elementary Korean, I also posted it in this site. It wil lhelp you a lot in the introduction to hangul. It’s available in Kinokuniya, I in fact bought mine there.

      i also use berlitz compact dictionary. it’s good enough for beginners like us.

      Reply

      1. I’ve downloaded some youtube korean language (hangul) introduction from “busyatom” and exploring on “Koreanclass101”.

        I’m trying to memorize as much characters as possible before I start my class on mid July.

        Thanks for your advise and will visit here to “steal” information.

      2. Thanks.

        I’m doing some self-study on hangul now, and can recognise the basic one already, I hope my korean lessons will be fruitfull and keep me continue study korean.

        ありがとう　ございます (Thank you)

    Reply

    1. it’s hard to say the meaning when you write it romanized… if this is actually 말야 then it means must or need to speak or say or tell.
      말 (mal) is a verb that means to say or to tell while 야 (-ya) is actually a post-position which denotes obligation. you might wonder it should have been malya but as you know ㄹ when sandwiched with 2 vowel becomes more of an ‘r’ sound than ‘l’ in Korean. I hope i was able to answer this question.

      1. talk [v], state [v], say [v], speak [v], tell [v] = (malhada)말하다 or (malhaeyo)말해요 in korean….

    1. hi i am from the same country. i have been doing self study too but i took Korean I language course in UP. You can try studying there it’s pretty cheap compared to other language school that teaches just phrases.

    2. Well, you can try enrolling in TESDA wherein it’s free. It’s funded by the government. I’ve learned so much there and it’s now easier to self study if you really have formal korean language classes. I had mine in TESDA dahlia Q.C.

      1. hi juice. thanks for giving this info. Much as i would like to attend the TESDA i really don’t have much of free time to attend schooling everyday as I am working. This is the reason why I only enrolled in extramural class in UP. I will inquire about the schedule here in TESDA Guiguinto, if schedules are on saturdays i can enroll =)

    3. Also, there in TESDA they teach everything because most of the people who studies there are people who are pursuing to work in korea. Before you can work in korea, people need to take and pass the Korean Language test in POEA.
      There you will learn everything from writing, speaking and korean grammar, particles, korean culture and everything.
      And the best thing is that it is FREE, however it’s on a first come first serve basis.

    Reply

    1. i don’t know how to answer your question, Korean in most cases have consistent sound but it has pronunciation rules too. getting the romanized words can also make you confused with these pronunciation rules. i think i have a post here at least on some of the basic in pronunciation i will try to re post it. but you can check on the category pronunciation. 사람 is saram it means person while 사랑 is love.

      2. yes it means what should i do or what to do, i am not sure where the comment is cominf from due to the long thread.

      3. eetteohkajyo…

        it means what should i do…
        because from the movie.. he’s beautiful the boy”s song is eettoekajyo…
        which means… what should i do…ehheheeheh

    1. hi, i’m learning korean for about a year now.
      i’ll explain what i know 🙂

      나를 nareul is basically like “as for me..” or you wanna make yourself as a SUBJECT to the sentence.
      “As for me, I like this. 이거 나를 좋아해.”

      나는 naneun is used when you are stressing about the TOPIC of the sentence. in this case, the TOPIC is 나(i/me) so it is more like you are talking about you yourself, and not others. for example, “(i don’t know about others but) I love you. 나는 너를 사랑해.”

      Reply

      1. thanks but i think you mean 나를 is me as the object of a sentence. 내가 is the subject form of 나 =)

      2. OMG, i don’t realize i did the mistakes there. my bad. 😦
        yes yes, 나를 is the OBJECT since 를 and 을 is the object marker meanwhile 이 and 가 is the subject marker.

  26. your website is the best so far..! it really help us to re-charge our willing to learn Korean correctly.

    Sincha…!!! Nomu choa.Haeyo!!! ^_^

      2. what do you mean by ‘sincha ?? and ‘jeongmalimnikka?? ..hehe,, i’m just dropping by and happen to see your comment then got confused .. ^__^ thanks for the ans.. 🙂

      3. 진짜 (jinjja) means really something like is that so? or that’s the case? 정말 (jeongmal) means truth or truly so 정말입니까? (jeongmalimnikka?) would mean is that true?

  27. btw, would you please suggest me is it cheaper to buy Elementary Korean and Continue Korean directly from Amazon or should I buy directly from Seoul (have friend of mine will visit there ^_^)
    and if it is cheaper there, do you happend to know which bookstore in Seoul will have both edition? (read from your previous post, that 1st edition slightly better one than the new one:p)

    Kamsahamnida ^_^,

    Reply

    1. the 1st edition is the basic ones… it’s good for beginners… there might be a local store selling the book in your place. Though i bought mine in Singapore when i looked around Fully Booked in the Philippines (Rockwell and The Fort) there are available copies or should i say copy since it’s just one for each. the price in Singapore is almost the same in Amazon but you can chance upon good second hand copies in Amazon…only you will also be paying for shipping so it would be practical to buy the book locally.

    Reply

    1. hi samah! i don’t know how to further help you but if you are trying to learn Korean better learn it using Hangul writing system rather than using roman letters or alphabet. while the government is following a standard way of romanization of Hangul not everyone is using this so it may really confuse you. regarding your name it should be written this way 사마 (sama) the ‘h’ sound in your name is dropped in this spelling. ㅎ is the character that has the ‘h’ sound but if it occurs as a final consonant it is pronounced as ‘ng’. With it would be awkward to write your name as 사맣 as it may be pronounced as samang.

    and this too –>않습니다 (is this the opposite to imnida??)

    hope u can help me..thanks!!

    Reply

    1. 않습니다 is used to negate verb. i have post here on negating a verb the long way this is commonly the verb ending.
      나이가 – would mean age
      키가- i have not encountered this word yet i am sorry hmmm it can mean 키 (key) and 가 as subject marker.
      i don’t know if this helps.

  48. hmmm??? would you please help me translate “i love you if only i can tell it directly” in korea this would be a great help…. i can write hangul but i cant speak or pronounce the words coz its a little confusing….thank you!!!!

    1. i renovate the sentence a bit to “if i can say it like this, i want to say i love you.”
      so for the korean is, “내가 이렇게 말할 수있다면, 난 너를 사랑해 말하고 싶어.” naega ireohke marhalsu itdamyeon, nan neoreul saranghae marhago shipeo.
      please note that this is in casual form. 🙂

      **pronounce the “marhalsu” as if “maralsu”
      “marhago” as if “marago”

  50. 안녕하세요.
    have you ever stumble upon a dictionary where on the korean-english section it only uses hangul letters for the word that you’re looking for instead of romanization?..

    Reply

    1. One of my wordbook does not have romanization =) only Korean characters and English in meaning. This word book was the one I bought from Korea but i think most dictionaries bought outside of Korea or published outside of Korea has Romanization as reference. Some learns Korean with Romanized words which is more on being to speak than read and speak.

      Reply

      1. you are right mianhaeyo is i am sorry which is quite similar to choesonghaeyo. It’s actually the polite casual way the formal way is mianhamnida or choesonghamnida. you may also hear at time jal mot haeseo which is something like ‘i was wrong’ but this is also used similarly with I am sorry with admission of the mistake.

  52. annyeong..
    choneun..honey imnida..
    i want to ask you..how to say ‘annyeong’ when you are leaving??
    because it so confusing..’annyeonghaseyo’ when you are approaching someone or when you grreting someone..and i think i heard them saying ‘annyeongnyigaseyo’ if im not mistaken,when they are leaving..so whats the correct pronounce???
    kamsahamnida for your concern to reply my question

    Reply

    1. 안녕하세요 is like hi or hello. when you want to say goodbye to someone staying you say 안녕히계세요 (annyeonghigyeseyo) but if you are saying goodbye to someone who will be leaving you would say 안녕히가세요 (annyeonghikaseyo). 가 (ka) means go while 계 means to stay.

    This site really helped me a lot. I’ve studied Korean language 2 years ago and my teacher is Korean national she was a great teacher but because of language barrier we didn’t really understand her that much in terms of when to use the eun/neun and ga/i in the sentence since its both subject marker. And I clearly understand it now. Thank you so much.^_^

  55. Anyway, I wanted to know how to pronounce the “S” (siot) in Korean? because what my teacher taught me is that S pronounced as S literally. But the problem is that I’ve heard it pronounced as “sh” in Korean songs and in Korean dramas. Dowa juseyo…^^ gamsahamnida.

    Reply

    1. s becomes shi if it is followed by the character ㅣ which stands for sound ‘ee’. So names like Shin is spelled 신 if you romanize it letter per letter it would be s-i-n but pronunciation rules tells us that ㅅ followed by ㅣ is shi. 천만해요

  63. Hi there,

    I used to do business in Korea many years ago but did not have the opportunity to pick up the language except for a few basic phrases.

    Recently I started watching the Korean drama, “Bread, Love and Dreams” on KBS World (channel 115 on Singapore cable TV) and decided that I should learn the language in order to understand the dialogue, besides reading the subtitles.

    Your site is very useful. Thank you very much.

  73. The best online dictionary I’ve found.

    http://dic.naver.com/

    It’s free and comprehensive. It’s what all my Korean friends use when trying to express themselves in English but it works just as well in reverse.

    Like all dictionaries, it has some limitiations. For instance, you’ll only get dictionary forms (~다) of verbs, so if you’re unfamiliar with Korean grammar, conjugation could be tricky. However, unlike most dictionaries, each entry includes several translated example sentences, which can help with conjugation and provide teriffic guidance regarding context and usage. It even has some slang and idiomatic expressions! Enjoy!

    Some notes on usage for the beginners:
    Type the word you’re searching for into the field marked 영어사전. If it’s a Korean word, you’ll get an English translation. If it’s an English word, you’ll get a Korean translation. Unfortunately, if you can’t read Hangul, the site is useless. However, if you’re at all serious about learning Korean, you’ll need to learn Hangul anyway.

    1. hey thanks for this, i would certainly try on this on-line dictionary in naver but since my browser and language setting is still English it was convenient for me to use google translate for finding meanings and of course the compact one comes in handy when i am traveling.

    1. 트라이지 (teurachi) cy or si has no direct counterpart in Hangul if you really want to write it in Hangul. likewise sound of two consonants can not be written in Korean as is as the pattern is C-V-C or C-V-C-C or C-V.

    Here is my other question regarding the pronunciation of “how are you” (formal) in Korean.

    안녕하십니까 (annyeong hashimnikka)

    하십니까 (ha-shim-ni-kka), but 십 is literally ‘sip’ and there is no ‘m” sound. Could you help me understand it? Thanks.

  81. Hi Janey,

    I’d like to know the actual meaning for “하십” in “안녕하십니까”(annyeong hashimnikka)/Good morning/afternoon/evening.

    I’ve broke them up as the following, but I can’t figure out the real meaning of “하십” in the question.

    안녕(peace) 하십(? that ten) 니까(I say).

    Thanks.

    Reply

    1. 하십 is the honorific form of the verb 하다 (used in the formal manner) which means ‘to do’. 니까 is actually a verb ending that is used for question.

    Reply

    1. i said this because there isn’t a standard romanization of Hangul unlike the pinyin of chinese. I think you need to strike a balance in learning the language you need to learn word for word to increase your vocabulary and phrase by phrase for the usage.

  118. Annyong haseyo,

    I am currently trying to learn the Korean Languauge and I happen to hop on your site. I thought it’s an excellent one, very informative. I guess I made a mistake of getting a book without doing as much research. I know from the beginning that I needed and Elementary lesson when learning the language I just can’t find a school where it teaches the language here. So book is the next best thing, I will try and get the book that you’ve suggested.

    I have question too, just like the rest of the visitors here. I want to know how to write my name in Korean, cause there seem to have no ‘j’ and ‘f’ in there alphabet although there are words that somehow pronounce in a way with ‘j’ By the way my name is Jhael and my lastname has a double f in its spelling.

    Kamsahamnida,
    Jhael

    Reply

    1. 자엘 this is how i would write your name. there is j in hangul its ㅈ. F on the other hand is simulated using other near sounding character, so it depends on how your surname is pronounced.

      Reply

  119. Hi there, CAn i ask you one question. I am misunderstood about the phrase “I like you”. When i want to say “I like you” to s.o which one should I use here: nanun norul joahamnida, nanun norul joaheyo, nanun norul joahe. In the movies, people always say that “nanun norul joahe” so can i use that to my friend or to s.o special? How about if I want to say “I like you” to my favorite actor?
    Another question is in Korean I is “na”나 and you is 너 (no) but why when you make a sentence it becomes nanun for I and norul for you?

    p/s: if i want to say i like you so much. Thus, “so much” in Korean is “nomu” or “jin-jja”. Which one is better?

    Thank you so much :X :X :X

    Reply

    1. Na norul choahaeyo – means i like you. technically the na norul choayo is the same but choayo cannot take a direct object so this may appear as a grammatical error. now this is connected with your question on na (I) and no (you). There is s concept of marking a noun in Korean. -ga/-i is used to mark subject while rul/ul marks an object. This makes the meaning of sentence clear. so as to choa this verb when used without hae cannot take a direct object (marked with rul or ul). You can search on my old post about it.

      If you want to say very in that manner it would be nomu rather than jinjja. Jinjja means more like ‘really’.

      Reply

  122. Annyeonghaseyo !! 🙂 just asking, when is this sign usually used ? [ㅇ] , I see them on some Hangul Characters. is it a supporting character? and when is that sign can be written? I’m curios and confused when I try to write Hangul but sign is always missing. Just need an explanation :). kamsahamnida in advance. 🙂

    Reply

    1. its one of the consonants 자음 (jaeum) in Hangul. when it appears as initial character it is soundless. these are some of the samples:

      마음 (ma-eum) means heart
      자음 (jaeum) means consonant
      영 (yeong) means zero
      as you could notice it doesn’t have a sound when it occur as initial character of a block. however looking at the same example 영 when used as final consonant or last character in a block it is pronounced as -ng like 사랑 (sarang) which means love.

      i think the reason why it’s voiceless as first character has something to do with their writing system. the pattern of a block is always C-V-C-(-C). This means a block cannot be started with a vowel.

  133. Hi, I am learning Korean language and a beginner. I have just bought the
    Korean – English dictionary you recommanded. I like to find out how should
    I go about looking for the meaning of the korean words in Hangul or
    romanized.
    Eg : Meaning of the words I want to find out :사랑을 말해줘 ( Hangul)
    sa-rang-eul mal-hae-jweo ( romanized)

    Reply

    1. you can’t find those words in the dictionary as is like the word
      사라을 (sarangeul) is love used as object of the sentence
      말해줘 (malhaejweo or malahaejueo) is a compound verb. you can see in the dictionary 말하다 (to tell) this is the dictionary form of the word. since you can’t use dictionary form of the word you have to know how to get the base which is simply removing the 다 so the base word would be malha and the infinitive form would be malhae –> 말하+이 becomes 말해. 주다 is a verb used together with another verb to mean please (as in asking for favor) as explained this should be turned into infinitive form to be useable as verb .
      so the statement above would mean–> Please tell me love or Please say love. See the following related posts:

    come across. How should I go about looking up for the meaning in the dictionary, should I use the hangul or romanized word to check.Can you help
    me …
    Thank you very much !:)

    1. you need to understand how use the Korean dictionary. it’s not as straight forward as the english dictionary especially when looking for meaning of verbs. Also, koreans use markers, particles and conjugations so word on sentence may not look exactly the same in the dictionary. Though this is not true for all korean word but in most cases you might find it a little painful to look for meaning of words. check on the romanization standards used by the dictionary so you don’t get confused.

    1. 가슴 (kasum) means chest it does mean feelings of the heart as well.
      심장 (shimjang) literally means heart.

  139. Anyeonghaseyo, I’m from Philippines and I really like Hangul. My classmate uncle is on the Korea so my classmate teach me some of the Korean letters. 😀 She teach me so good, but she only know the other simple sentences. For me, I don’t even know one *i think* sentence at hangul. I can’t even construct a sentence 😦 I really want you to help me for this. XD I know how to write hangul too and to read. But I don’t know what the meaning *in other* 😀 so I search and tadaaa! I see this blog. This blog help me (감사합니다! kamsahamnida! ^^)

  149. Hey Janey,

    Nice photo banner up there! I couldn’t make out the Koran star whom you were with in one of the photos :-).

    I haven’t been studying Korean since my last visit due to extreme busy schedules. I am back at it again. You are my inspiration!

    Could you clarify why there is an “e” in Hangeul 한글 and other times it is omitted?
    Korean Alphabet means Hangeul (한글), how do I spell Korean –> (한국) then?

    Thanks,
    Misty

    Reply

    1. Thanks Misty! That’s Lee Min Ho (이민호). Hangeul is the standard romanization but before the standard has been endorsed by Korean government where the official romanization of 으 is (eu), people have been used to Hangul since this is how it is spelled when pronounced anyway. Sometimes the ease of reading it in English is considered like how most names are inconsistently romanized. Example is 박영와 (Park Yeong-wa) which is sometimes romanized as Park Youngwa. I notice that in most names when 어 or 오 is present it is typically romanized as ‘o’ but in standard romanization 어 is ‘eo’.

  150. Hi dear,

    I would like to ask how you find a word in the korean-english dictionary.
    For instance how is the words being arranged? because I cant seems to figure that out . for eg. English dictionary and chinese they are in terms of abcd and their sounds whichever comes first.
    So how about korean? I cant seems to link the sounds of a b c d whichever come first for it. Pls help if you know. 가르쳐주세요. 감사합니다 🙂

    I’m learning to read hangul now~ I’m just a beginner. I wish I could buy this book in National Bookstore soonest~ but the price is too expensive! Phew~

    I have a question with the “B” and “P”/”M”~ when you write it in HANGUL “B” why do they still pronounce it in “P” or “M” and with “R” and “L” how to really recognize it as the consonant~ its really confusing. (Like when I introduced myself its IBNIDA instead of IMNIDA) #HELPFORCLARIFICATIONS

    In this case I guess I really need to familiarize a lot of Korean words. -.-

    THANK YOU SO MUCH~ #MorePower #LearnKoreanWords #HangugaSejeon

    2. I think its a culture thing the way mian of mianhamnida is often hear bian. native koreans can’t explain this as well it just sound like that. as for the r and l usually when the character is sandwiched it’s more of r like 말해주세요 (marhaejuseyo). at the beginning of a character it sounds more like l. then if in between there are two ㄹ then the sound is l as well like 실라 (shill)

    1. 바리시니 (barishini) this is the closest spelling based on how your name will be pronounced the Korean way. I suppose your name is pronounced with stress on the sound of r. because korean would typically drop the sound of r when they write borrowed words. like corner will be written ko-no.
