This is also the correct answer.
You do this because of the first correct answer, above. |

Dear My Teacher,
Such students usually are either wrong, or not wrong.
Thank you for reading. |

Like I said...
You do realize you're talking about two different words, don't you?
일하다 to work
and
읽다 to read
You really have a habit of sounding off about things you obviously know little about on these forums. I'm sure there are areas where you can speak with authority. However you lessen the value of all your posts with posts as senseless as this.

Your ex-Korean girlfriend? What is she now? One of my favorite XKCD comics has some relevance here. http://xkcd.com/37/
Anyway, although TJ has already pointed out your wrongness, he didn't really explain.
If one was to say the word "읽다" it would be pronounced "ick da" and not "il da". However, I don't think someone would be likely to use that particular conjugation of the verb in the first place.
I'm wondering if you even looked at the links you provided, because your third link shows the pronunciation to be what I wrote. |

I won't claim to be an expert lest I get pwned.
But it's kind of bizarre that you used the example 일하다 to try to demonstrate your example. 일하다 doesn't present a problem the way 읽다 does. Korean phonology doesn't tolerate consonant clusters in syllable-final position (nor syllable-initial position for that matter). This constraint is satisfied in the word 읽다 by dropping the ㄹ sound (we can call this a phonological repair). But 일하다 doesn't have any consonant clusters, so it doesn't require a repair. Also, when 읽다 is inflected to forms such as 읽어요, no repair is necessary since the ㄱ is able to form the onset of the second syllable.
One thing that I must admit still confuses me, however, is why the pronunciation of 여덟 drops the ㅂ sound in favour of the ㄹ sound. The chart I have says that it should be vice-versa.

Probably not in every day speech, but certainly when someone is referring to the verb in a linguistic discussion.
Also, the phonological repair is relevant to other forms such as 읽자 and 읽습니다. |
