hangul syllable hye

Hangul syllable Hye

The meaning of 혜 depends on its Korean word; by itself, it is a syllable, not a full word. It appears in words such as 은혜 (“grace”), 혜택 (“benefit”), and 혜성 (“comet”).

Text symbol

What 혜 means

Meaning comes from the surrounding word. The Hanja for 혜—Chinese characters used in Korean vocabulary—varies by word: 지혜 uses 慧, while 수혜자 (“beneficiary”) uses 惠. Read the complete word to know which meaning applies.

A 1443 record documents Hangul, the Korean writing system; a 1446 explanatory book describes its letters, how they form syllable blocks, and why it was created: to make Korean speech accessible in writing.

Can 혜 sound like 헤?

Yes. Standard Korean guidance permits ㅖ to sound like ㅔ outside 예 and 례, so 혜택 may be pronounced like 헤택. The spellings remain distinct.
