반공격

Korean

Etymology

    Sino-Korean word from 反 (“counter-”) + 攻擊 (“attack, offensive”). This is used since the original Sino-Korean term 반공(反攻) (ban'gong) is reserved for 반공(反共) (ban'gong, “anti-communism”).

    Pronunciation

    • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈpa̠(ː)nɡo̞ŋɡjʌ̹k̚]
    • Phonetic hangul: [반(ː)공격]
      • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
