spelling
[edit]Since both Romanization systems spell it 'sijo,' I don't suppose it should be changed, but since it is pronounced /shIjo/ I wonder if this can be indicated in some way. Why? 1) Any-one not conversant with Korean but who has (only) HEARD the word will never think to look for it under 'si.' 2) Some-one coming across the article is given no indication of how it's pronounced and could be quite embarrassed and confused, trying to talk to a Korean about "s-eye-Joe."

- I have no problem with that. I'd rather not get into the morass of ad-hoc phonetic spelling, though... I guess the ideal solutions would be either a) write the pronunciation in IPA script, or b) find a native speaker who is willing to be recorded pronouncing the word. -- Visviva 07:02, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with Visviva on the two preferred alternatives. Kdammers 17:28, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Huh? Word missing in text?
[edit]"Sijo is often more lyrical and personal than (e.g., other East Asian poetic forms)" This sentence is grammatically wrong. Perhaps the original writer can correct it to reflect what s/he meant to type. I think some-thing from the next idea (lyrical vs. personal) accidentally got pasted over the original content?

waka
[edit]This article seems to imply that waka is derived from sijo. Is this true, arguable, false, misleading or what? (See waka article and discussion) . Kdammers 01:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
IPA
[edit]The IPA given uses ɕ- This is correct for the original Korean pronunciation. But is this the way it should be represented in English? Wouldn't/Isn't it rather pronounced with an initial "sh" (/ʃ/ sound? As it now stands, a user not knowing any Korean (or Swedish or other language using the ɕ- sound) can be expected to go to the IPA for English page and come up blank - NOT GOOD. Can't we fix this whith-out sacrificing correctness and clarity? !!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdammers (talk • contribs) 01:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- This seems like a valid complaint. Perhaps the IPA could be, in this case, accompanied by an ad hoc pronunciation ("shee-jo")? Or maybe there is another solution? -- Visviva 16:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
YUN Seondo's sijo
[edit]I changed the modern Korean version of YUN Seondo's sijo, because the previous did not preserve rhythm. For reference, here is what we had before. --AZ
