Question: I've been thinking that melon is the Korean word for melon in English, but when I looked up the dictionary today, melon, not melon, was listed as the title word. I heard that Korean writing in a foreign language is done as it sounds, but melon sounds close to melon, so I wonder if there is a reason why it is written as melon.
Answer: Writing 'melon' as 'melon' is in accordance with Chapter 3 of the 'foreign language notation' where [l] of the words comes in front of the vowel, Section 1 English notation, and Paragraph 6.
