How to Say “D” in Korean

d
The English letter d is written as d in Korean.
This term refers to the fourth letter of the English alphabet when used in a Korean context.

Did you know?

  • In the Korean alphabet, the sound of 'd' is shared with the letter t, both being represented by the character ㄷ.
  • The character ㄷ is one of the few Korean consonants that has a 'double' version ㄸ, which creates a much sharper and more tense 't' sound than the standard ㄷ.
  • When the letter ㄷ appears at the end of a syllable, it is pronounced as a soft 't' sound instead of a 'd'.

Examples in context

  • 난 과학 시험에서 D를 받았어.
    I got a D on my science test.
    This sentence is useful for showing how to express receiving a grade of d on a science test.
