Let's first look at monophthongs among the classifications of vowels . Okay, first, we need to know what vowels are, right? We commonly know them as consonants and vowels, but if you were to ask, "Uh, then what is a vowel?" I would say, "Uh, well, what is a vowel?" Actually, there probably aren't many friends who know the concept

. Let's take this opportunity to first learn what vowels are. A vowel is a sound produced when the airflow is not obstructed during pronunciation . Now, when we pronounce words, we need air, and that air comes from inside our bodies—specifically, it is produced in the lungs. The sound produced in that cavity passes through various organs inside the body and

comes out, and we learn that the sound produced without interference from the vocal organs is a vowel. And there is one important point here, which is the second characteristic. It states that it can form a syllable on its own . We learned about the concept of syllables last time . I said that a syllable is a unit of sound that can be pronounced at once. I remember

learning about four types of syllable structures back then, and regardless of the structure, a vowel had to be included in the middle—among the initial, medial, and final consonants . In other words, since the neutral position refers to the space where a vowel is located, a vowel is absolutely necessary to form a syllable;

conversely, this means that it can form a syllable even when standing alone. There are two of these vowels in our language . If you look below, you can see that there are as many collections as this . Now, we are going to look at the characteristics of each one, but since it is
