Does this letter have to pronounce sounds? ㅐ

Question

Does it pronounce either "ae" or "a" in land? Can this this letter use these two sounds? ㅐ Thanks a lot!!

Answer 1

ㅐis pronounced only by "ae"

ㅏis pronounced only by "a"  

Answer 2

It is definately "ae" and is pronounced similar to "eh".

In korean language, every "vowels" pronounce only one type of sound.

To give you an insight on this with english (which is a little hard), take the sound "eh". If word "eh" was to be used like a vowel and I added a letter, it would still maintain its "eh" sound. Like: meh, leh, teh, beh, keh. All those words have the "eh" ring to it. It may to a hard concept to those who haven't learned korean at birth.

Answer 3

Think of it like the "eh" sound in "head," "bread," "red," etc.
