Rasŏn

See also: Räson and rason

English

Alternative forms

Rason, Raseon, Naseon

Proper noun

Rasŏn

A city in North Korea.

Usage notes

The initial "R" is replaced with "N" (or with nothing or other consonants in other examples) in the South Korean standard, which is also reflected in the spelling, the jamo ㄹ (l) is replaced with ㄴ (n). The modern standard South Korean romanisation does not use ŏ to romanize the vowel [ʌ̹] (jamo: ㅓ (eo)) as is still done in North Korea, a digraph eo is used instead.

Synonyms

Rajin-Sŏnbong
