How to Pronounce korting

English: discount

Say it like KOR-ting

Phonetic breakdown

The word consists of the root 'kort' followed by the suffix '-ing', pronounced with a short 'o' sound and a hard 'g' at the end.

Learners often mispronounce the final 'g' as a soft English 'g' instead of the guttural Dutch 'g'.

Use the phrase 'krijg ik korting?' if you want to politely ask a shopkeeper if a discount is possible.
