텔레비전
telrebijeon · TOPIK 1
television, TV
📺 English loanword: tel-le-bi-jeon = tele-vi-sion, with b standing in for v
Korean has no v sound, so ㅂ (b) replaces it, and the single ㄹ doubles to give the l of tele. Say it aloud and the English word comes through: tel-le-bi-jeon. Often shortened to 티비 (tibi), just like TV.
