Re: Cosa penserebbero i tuoi amici di te? (en → it)

A questa domanda è davvero facile rispondere!

Innanzitutto non ho amici, ma le poche persone che mi conoscono sicuramente non penserebbero nulla di me, come se questa fosse una situazione ipotetica. No. Tutti pensano che io non sia affatto normale. Hanno ragione ;)

I was checking the Help:IPA/Korean page about the pronunciation of a few vowels, and I noticed what I think is a mistake in the transcription.

At the following entry:

Shouldn't it be, "naesmul?"
