저번

Korean

Etymology

Univerbation of 저 (jeo, “that”) +‎ 번(番) (beon, “time”). The vowel is lengthened by mistaken conflation with 這 (jeo, “this”), whence also the hanja spelling.

Pronunciation

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈt͡ɕɘ(ː)bʌ̹n]
  • Phonetic hangul: [저(ː)번]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
