bunsilmul senteoe munuihaenneunde ajik yeollagi eopseumnida
Meaning
I contacted the lost-and-found, but I haven’t heard back yet.
Usage note

Sound changes in this phrase
- Liquid assimilation: when ㄴ and ㄹ meet, both are pronounced as ㄹ. 연락이 → [열라기]
- Linking: when a syllable ending in a consonant (patchim) is followed by a syllable that starts with a vowel, the consonant moves over to the next syllable. 락이 → [라기]
- Tensing: after a final ㄱ, ㄷ or ㅂ sound, ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ and ㅈ become tense (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ). 없습니 → [업씀니]
- Nasalization: a final ㄱ, ㄷ or ㅂ becomes ㅇ, ㄴ or ㅁ before ㄴ or ㅁ (and a ㄹ after ㅁ or ㅇ becomes ㄴ). 습니 → [슴니]
