한숨

Inherited from Middle Korean 한〮숨〯 (hánswǔm).

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [ha̠nsʰum]
• Phonetic hangul: [한숨]

한숨 • (hansum)

1. sigh

   한숨(을) 쉬다

   hansum(-eul) swida

   to sigh, draw a long breath

Univerbation of 하〮다〮 (hátá, “to be big”) +‎ -ㄴ (-n, realis adnominal suffix) +‎ 숨〯 (swǔm, “breath”).

하〮다〮 (hátá) belongs to tone class H!, meaning that its realis adnominal form is generally expected to be 한 (han, “hàn”), not 한〮 (hán). However, this high tone is consistent with some other compounds, see e.g. 한〮아비〮 (hánàpí, “grandfather”).
