113Lesson 9:
The Intonation of Sentence
The kinds of sentence are indicated by whether the tone is
rising or falling at the end of sentence
1, The falling tone is used at the end of a de~
clarative sentence.
for example:
a7 @cr.
ku’ ga onda)
he comes
He cones.
explanation:
The speaker speaks to an inferior
* Sc} (onda) Is derived from the verb FF (oda) come,
2+
to dal
2 [o) - stem
et (da) ~ ending
e+ ut
(onda)
Lt} (nda) - final declarative ending of the verb in the
tow form of courtesy
Ee} (onda) (after contracting @ (0) and & (n} )
2. The rising tone is used at the end of an inter-
rogative sentence.
for example:
27 g=Ir? ' 2
ku’ ga nu’ nga
he comes?
Is he coming?
hiaexplanation:
The speaker speaks to a person at the same rank.
27 (onu'nga} is derived from the verb 2°} (oda) come.
et
(0 dad
2 fo) ~ stem
Ph (da) ~ ending
2 + =
fo nu'n-ga)
=7t (nu'n-ga) - final Interrogative ending of the verb
in the middle form of courtesy
But the interrogative word should be stressed when it ap-
pears in an interrogative sentence.
for example: >
2} ora 27h?
(ku'ga o'nje on’ n-ga)
he when cones?
When is he coming?
3. The tone should be even to the end of a sugges~
tive sentence.
for example:
oa

The Change of Sounds (Assimilation)
The assimilation of sound
The assimilation of sound means that @ sound in a word Is
pronounced, under the influence of its foregoing or following
sound, same as or alike to its foregoing or following sound.
There are three assimilations of sound
1. The assimilation of sonants L (n}. © (m) .
Un)
1) The sounds 1 (k), 7 (kk) and @ (kh) are pronounced o
(ng) before a sonant
for example:
© $4] (tokrip) independence
{B) (tonerip) (as a result of the assimilation of the
sonant & (r} )
© MET Ctaknu'nda) polish
(EHEch) (tangnu'nda) (as a result of the assimilation of
the sonant L {n} )
© ¥21¥ (puo'kmun} kitchen door
(2912) (puo'ngmun) (as a result of the assimilation of
the sonant # (m)
2) The sound & (p) and m (ph) are pronounced @ (m) before a
sonant.
for example:
© 88 (oopryo'ng) law
(8193) (pomryo'ng) (as a result of the assimilation of the
194sonant 2 (r) )
© S&F fapmun) front door
(22) Canmun} (as a result of the assimilation of the so-
nant = (m) >
3) The sounds & (t), # (th), x (4), % (ch), A Cs) and
‘ (ss) are pronounced L (n) before a sonant.
for example:
© Bo] (matnui) the eldest sister
(BHFe]) (mannui) (as a result of the assimilation of the
sonant & (n} )
© Wola] (patmo' ri} edge of a field
(po}2}) (panmo' ri) (asa result of the assimilation of
the sonant # (m) )
© Bo] (jo'tmo’gi} suckling
(Z}o]) (jo'nmo’ gi} (as a result of the assimilation of
the sonant. = (ml )
© BYe (kkotmang-ul) — flower bud
(BYE) (kkonnang-ul) (as a result of the assinilation of
the sonant = (m)
© BY Ciatnamu) —pine-nut tree
(2144) Ciannamu) (as a result of the assimilation of the
sonant L (n} ?
O BLU (itnu' nya) is there?
(2124) Cinnu'-nya) (as a result of the assimilation of
the sonant L {n} >
2 The assimilation of the sound 2 (1)
1) The sound & (n) is pronounced @ (1) before the sound &
195m
for example:
a (tanlyo'n) training
(Ba) Ctallyo'n) (as a result of the assimilation of the
sonant @ (1) )
2 The sound L {n) is pronounced # (1) after the sound &
m
for example:
Adit (so'Inal) New Year's Day
(4B) [so'llal) (as a result of the assimilation of the
sonant @ (1) )
3. The assimilation of the palatal
1) The sound © 14) is oronounced x [j) before the palatal |
i)
for example:
sf] (haedodi) sunrise
(8#$89]] (haedojil (as a result of the assimilation of the
palatal | (i) )
2) The sound = (th) is pronounced * (ch) before the palatal
1a
for example:
QW! (han-ayo' leathi) unanimously
(8B) Chan-gyo' lgachil (as a result of the assinile-
tion of the palatal | (i) )
