Why does M sometimes sound like B? 10 Korean Words starting with M - Learn Korean with Kdramas!

One of the most common questions from beginner learners of Korean is why the "M" sometimes sounds like a "B". As explained in this video, this is because of what is known as "denasalization", which often occurs when the M is at the beginning of a Korean word. Denasalization means that less or no air is let out through the nose when pronouncing the M, which makes it sound closer to a B. It's comparable to saying the M while you're having a cold or while pinching your nose. For Koreans denasalization is completely natural and they do it without even realizing it, but you don't have to be too concerned about it as Koreans will understand you perfectly fine even if you don't do it, and you will notice that the strength of denasalization will vary even among Koreans when listening to the examples in this video. The words covered in this video are: 엄마 [eomma] - Mom / Mother 미안 [mian] - Sorry / I'm sorry 뭐? [mwo] - What? 맞아 [maja] - That's right 몰라 [molla] - I don't know 많이 [mani] - A lot / Very much / Many 물론 [mullon] - Of course 말해 [mal hae] - Say it / Tell me 모르겠어 [mo reu gess eo] - I don't know / I'm not sure 미쳤어?
