I haven't been able to find a rule in any of my textbooks regarding this situation, so I'm asking the kind and knowledgeable Korean learners/speakers for help. If a 2 syllable word has the consonant ㅈ, ㅅ, or ㅊ at the end of the first syllable, (받침) and the first letter of the second syllable is the same consonant, does the consonant at the end of the first syllable still take on a ㄷ sound or does it become like a double consonant? (This situation probably never occurs with ㅊ, but I'm sure I've seen it with ㅈ and ㅅ.) I get different opinions when I've asked some of my former clasmates. Thanks for any help!
