hmm.....so there's only one way to say masturbate in any language? There is more than one way to say it in english, and the same holds for korean.

the word that I am talking about does have the "t" character that you are talking about. depending on the method of transcription you are using some people use a d. The character in Ddal-Ddal-Ee is a compound consonant that uses two of the [ sounds that you mention(again, people use different terminology, and romanization in rendering the korean writing system). The character looks like [[. If I were to write it out in korean, it is .(hope your browser supports korean)

I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything, its just that I'm a native korean speaker, and I have taught an accredited korean course at a four year university in the states. I that most korean males between the ages of 15-30 will know what means if you ask them.
