@Wyang Hi Frank. I tried to make a geminate initial with "com=0" but it didn't work.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:22, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Atitarev Where do you hear or know the pronunciation "com=0" for this word? It sounds like 까페 to me. 카페 has a (nonstandard) variant of 까페, though. Wyang (talk) 08:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Wyang That's what I meant - 까페. Isn't it a gemination and the method is "com=". I heard in a Korean lesson video. There are probably many loanwors like this, eg 카드. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:57, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev 까페 is marked as nonstandard in Korean dictionaries though (e.g. [1]). I think it may be better to include that as a alternative form, and only have the 카페 pronunciation here, to avoid confusion. Wyang (talk) 09:25, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Wyang I see, thanks! The person in the video said that most people pronounce it as "까페" but it's OK if it's considered non-standard. --11:16, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
