자요 vs 짜요 — Can You Hear the Difference? 🇰🇷Added:
Another example is, here, can you say chah-yo, chah-yo. How about this one with a double consonant?
Chyah-yo, chyah-yo.
So, the sound is also different.
Chah-yo, Chyah-yo, and the meaning totally changes. Chah-yo in Korean means chah-yo, sleep, chah-yo. Chyah-yo means salty. So, you need to be careful how you pronounce, right? Chah-yo and chyah-yo.
