What'a the difference between "Noona" and "unnie"?
Also what is the term for "younger brother" and "younger sister"? Please spell it out I can't read Korean. Thanks for any attempts.
Noona/Nuna (누나) is what a younger guy calls an older girl
Unnie/Unni (언니) is what a younger girl calls an older girl
for both younger brother and younger sister, its dongseng/dongsaeng/dongsang (동생)

Like I said, it's either nuh or nee. It's because now no there is no difference in the pronounciation of 네 and 내. I see your point that ㅔ should be pronounced just like ㅐ (eh, ae), but you don't in this case.
When you say Neh (like Debt), it's "I, me, my", when you say Nee (like knee, or Ne-Yo the singer), it's "you, your".
O_O~ haii. Thanks =D

Use this to find out how everything is supposed to be pronounced:
http://164.125.36.46/new_webspller/pronunc.htmExample: Put 같이 in there and press 확인하기... 가치 will come out.
않게 = 안케, 있는 = 인는, etc
I'm not sure if there's an English site that explains all the pronunciation rules... but here's a Korean site that has all the rules:
http://urimal.cs.pusan.ac.kr/urimal_new/le...ing/ps/main.aspAs for the 네/내 crap... ㅐ and ㅔ actually sound different... or at least, used to. I think the Sogang site on the first page has sound clips...
Lots of people, especially the younger generation, pronounce ㅐ and ㅔ the same. So, lots of people pronounce 네 (your) as 니 to avoid confusion with 내 (my)... and just out of habit. So, 네가 is also pronounced 니가. But for some strange reason, 네게 is pronounced the way it is. I guess it's because you can figure out if it's "to me" or "to you" by context. However, pronouncing 네 as 니 is technically wrong. Writing it 니 is even more wrong. But this is just habit... so... o_o;;
*BTW, did you notice how BoA says 네 in 날 바라보는 네 야릇한 etc as 네, not 니 in 'Girls On Top'? I think the context was just obvious, therefore she said it as 네... Uh, I'm not sure. lol This is just my theory. =X
XD Ahhh T__T. Thanks so much for your explanations, plus the sites =O So useful. XD; You rockk =O
Haha and I just listened to the part in GoT. XD Context is a bit hard for me somethign though XD since I dont understand 97% of what Im romanizing.. but yeah xD.
