Noun
띄어쓰기 • (ttuieosseugi)
- usage of spaces when writing; writing as separate words
- Antonym: 붙여쓰기 (bucheosseugi)
한국어의 띄어쓰기는 그리 쉽지 않다.- Han'gugeo-ui ttuieosseugi-neun geuri swipji anta.
- The rules of spacing in Korean are not so easy.
Usage notes
- Korean was not written with spaces until Westernization in the twentieth century, and prescriptive spacing rules are highly inconsistent and often fail to match actual pauses in pronunciation. Hence this word is a much more important topic in Korean orthography than might be expected from an Anglophone perspective.
