why is it so read?
Why write  열여섯[열여섣]  and reads  열려섣,  write 나뭇잎[나묻입]=> reads 나문닙 i know ㄷ+ㄴ=ㄴ+ㄴ but ㄷ+ㅇ?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Answer

열여섯 reads [열여섣]. it sounds [열려섣] in fast speech.
In here, the ㄹ of 열 sound is somewhat similar to English [l]

In English, sell[셀] + ing[잉] -> selling[셀잉] sounds like [셀링]

나뭇잎[나묻입] reads [나문닙]

ㄷ + ㄴ => ㄴ ㄴ is called 비음화(nasalization)
