Hangul Syllable Nelb

1328/11172

넯 combines ㄴ, ㅔ and ㄼ into one Hangul syllable block; “nelb” labels its spelling, not a Korean word meaning. In Korean typing, letters called jamo combine into blocks like this. The surprise is that ㄼ does not keep both consonants audible in every word: the word around it changes its sound.

What 넯 means

It spells one Hangul syllable; “nelb” is a component label, not its meaning.

넯 combines ㄴ as its starting consonant, ㅔ as its vowel, and ㄼ as a two-letter final consonant cluster called a double batchim (겹받침). Hangul was designed to write Korean speech directly, with letters combining by sound into syllable blocks. Middle Korean writing already records ㄼ among compound finals by the mid-15th century. Modern Korean keeps such clusters in spelling, though pronunciation rules often simplify them.

How is 넯 pronounced in Korean?

The word around ㄼ decides which final sound you hear.

In standard Korean, ㄼ before a consonant usually surfaces as ㄹ; 넓다 is pronounced approximately “neol-tta,” with the next ㄷ tightened. A few word-specific exceptions keep the ㅂ sound, as in 넓죽하다. “Nelb” names the written components, not a fixed spoken value.

In Korean text, this is one spelled syllable; alone, it mainly appears as a spelling or input example.

Do not confuse it with 넓: 넯 has vowel ㅔ; 넓 uses ㅓ.
