Jeolla dialect is used in the Jeolla region of South Korea, including the city of Gwangju. Along with Chungcheong dialect, it is considered non-standard by some Koreans. Perhaps the most obvious difference comes from common verb endings. In place of the usual -seumnida or -sehyo endings, a southern Jeolla person will use -rau or -jirau appended to the verb.

  • Jeolla dialect is used in the Jeolla region of South Korea, including the city of Gwangju. Along with Chungcheong dialect, it is considered non-standard by some Koreans. Perhaps the most obvious difference comes from common verb endings. In place of the usual -seumnida or -sehyo endings, a southern Jeolla person will use -rau or -jirau appended to the verb. For a causative verb ending, expressed in standard language with a -nikka ending, Jeolla people use -ngkkei, so the past tense of the verb "did" ("because someone did it"), haesseunikka, becomes haesseungkke . A similar sound is used for the quotative ending, "somebody said...". The usual verb endings are -dago and -rago . Jeolla dialect prefers -dangkke . Regarding pronunciation differences, there is often a tendency to pronounce only the second vowel in a diphthong. For example, the verb ending that indicates "since", -neundae, becomes -neundi (는디). The name of the large city Gwangju (광주) becomes Gangju (강주), and the verb 'to not have, to be absent', eopda 없다, becomes very close to upda (웂다). There are some words that are unique to the dialect as well: utjeseo (웆제서) for "why", sibang (시방) for "now", and dwitgan (뒷간) for "outhouse". Jeolla dialect speakers have a tendency to end their sentences with -ing, (잉) especially when asking a favor. This can be compared to the word "eh," as used by some Canadians.
