Explained...

Here's a tip. Notice the pattern/recognize the numbers in front...

January - Eel Wuhl...sort of means "Month No. 1". The "Eel" in the front of "Wole" is the number one.

May - Oh Wuhl..."5th Month" or "Month No. 5". "Oh" is the number five; "Wuhl" is Month.

So...the Wuhl or Wole or Wahl(?) is month. What's in front is a number.
Cool, ain't it?

Note: October is an exception... logically, it'd be "Shib-Wuhl", but I think it has to do with putting two characters together to cause the B sound to be silent...not exactly sure.

It's just easier to say "shi-wull" as opposed to "shib-wull." So naturally over time, the easier way becomes the norm. It's not unlike the expression for 2 o'clock - you say "du-shi" as opposed to "dul-shi."

Welcome to the forum, willy!
I just noticed I left out "Yu Wuhl", too. With that, you may be right. After all, you don't pronounce '100 Won' as 'Behwon'.

Cool Re: The Months of the Year in Korean

You are looking at old posts from last year. We will direct you to a good book, if you like, or someone will print them for you. Is your computer set to accept Korean language?
