Top 5 Common Korean Spelling Mistakes
- 되 (Doe) / 돼 (Dwae): Rule of thumb - replace with 'Ha' (Doe) or 'Hae' (Dwae). If 'Hae' makes sense, use 'Dwae'.
- Example: Sentences usually end with 'Dwae' (e.g., An-dwae).
- Myeot-il (X) / Myeo-chil (O): Always use 'Myeo-chil' for dates. 'Myeot-il' is incorrect.
- Eotteokhae (O): Calculated as abbreviation of 'Eotteoke Hae'. 'Eotteoh-hae' is wrong.
- Yeok-hal (Role): The correct spelling for 'Role' is 'Yeok-hal', not 'Yeok-hwal'.
