Seulum

Latin

Etymology

    Borrowed from Korean 서울 (Seoul, literally “capital city”).

    Pronunciation

    Proper noun

    Seū̆lum n sg (genitive Seū̆lī); second declension

    1. (New Latin) Seoul (the capital city of South Korea)

    Declension

    Note on vowel length: while the original Korean is short, the accent is kept on the penultimate, which would force the vowel to be lengthened.

    Second-declension noun (neuter), with locative, singular only.
