Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2006 3:11 am Post subject: writing English words with Korean letters |
|
|
Using �� for C, �� for H, �� for L, �� for O, �� for I, and �� for E, and �� for T,
what is the longest word you can come up with?
This is the longest word I can come up with:
�� �� �� �� �� ��
unless interjections are ruled as fair game:
�� �� �� �� �� ��
Can you write an entire sentence using only those letters?
This is the best I can do:
�� �� �� ��
�� �� ��
�� �� �� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� �� ��
�� ��
Besides those two verbs, I can't find any verbs which will fit in a declarative sentence.
So we may have to resort to commands:
�� �� ��
�� �� �� �� ��
�� �� �� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
Nouns are also difficult, because there is no Korean letter which looks like an A.
Thank goodness for the Korean trade names which carried me through this last exercise!
It is a good thing that THE fits in the specifications.
That makes it easy to use nouns:
�� �� ��
�� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
I am not sure whether or not to use the �� for an S,
since the two letters are backwards from each other.
However, if we do, that will make it easier to use verbs:
�� �� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� ��
�� ��
�� �� �� �� �� ��
�� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� �� �� �� ��
�� �� ��
�� �� ��
It will also render it possible for us to use adjectives,
because now we can use the word IS:
�� �� ��
�� �� �� �� ��
�� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� ��
�� ��
�� �� ��
Using ��, this is the longest sentence I can contrive:
�� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� �� �� ��
�� ��
�� �� ��
If you wish, you can also write words in other languages which use the Roman alphabet.
The only one I can think of is:
�� �� ��
which means "uncle" in Spanish.
Unless, of course, we allow the ��.
I think you know the word:
�� �� |

I find it immensely hard to associate different sounds with the letters. Typing that was pretty tough. |
