Which language is prettier? Korean or Japanese? (1 Viewer)

[trulychoi]

Even though I'm a k-pop fan I still think that Japanese is the prettiest language between the two. Something about how it sounds is so cool and their words for ordinary things always sound so beautiful lol. Plus it seems pretty easy to learn compared to Korean, but I guess that just depends on the person.

I've never known much about japan but then i started listening to kpop artists' japanese versions of songs...and I still don't know much about japan, but i do have an appreciation for the way the language sounds, now. Though i dont like jpop because its got a different style, if you took the korean version of a korean song, or the japaenes version , I'd easily choose the japanese version

So does that mean you think Japanese is prettier or...

I like both a lot but I prefer Japanese. Japanese has some really pretty words. Even one of the most known words, Sakura, is pretty. I just love how it rolls off my tongue.

 

[trulychoi]

yes, i think japanese is prettier,

Why did you have to go and make things so

Japanese sounds better to my ears, though i like korean as well.

Korean for me. I also find imo Korean easier than Japanese but that might just be me.

Kinda off and on topic. But I play a online game which is actually Korean so the voices in it are Korean but 80% of the people playing it will prefer Japanese voices in it rather than the original ones lol. So all in all in general I think people will like Japanese more than Korean.

I think it depends. Generally I find japanese to be overall prettier but, I usually prefer things in their original language. Like, I prefer most kpop songs in their korean version rather than their japanese counterparts, because it's the language the song was intended to be sung in, and the same goes for dubs of anime, tv shows, movies, etc. where I just prefer watching/listening to it in the original language, because it feels more natural that way.

I like both, but I kinda prefer korean. Maybe I’m just used to it

Having studied both, I personally enjoy Japanese - both written and spoken - a little bit more. Both languages are beautiful, of course!

One particular thing I like more about Korean is that it's a lot less nasal... although it's A LOT harder to listen to as a learner.

Definitely Korean

Also am i the only person who thinks chinese Mandarin is also just as pretty as korean and japanese? Maybe just me , since im learning mandarin, learned japanese, and speak korean lol

It is pretty, both written and spoken!

I'd love to learn Mandarin too, but the sounds seem to be quite hard to properly pronounce... maybe someday!

Written Japanese knocks the hella ugly Hangul outta the park

I think languages are all pretty but Japanese, since I speak it the most

After hearing both Korean and Japanese out in the wild in public as a non-speaker of both, I think Korean tends to sound nicer when spoken by an average person. At least to me.

Japanese by far
