Syllables(eum-jeol음절)
A syllable is the basic unit in Korean Language(Hangug-eo 한국어). It is a block of letters which consist of at least 1 consonant and 1 vowel. First letter of every syllable should be a consonant followed by a vowel and may or may not be followed by another consonant which is called patch'im (받침) or the final consonant of the syllable.
Examples:
ㄴ(n)+ㅏ(a) = 나(na, means I)
ㄴ(n)+ㅓ(eo) = 너(neo, means you)
ㄱ(g)+ㅡ(eu)=그(geu, means that)
For vertical vowels, it is always placed on the right of the first consonant while for horizontal vowels it is placed below the first consonant.
