Why is 없는걸 pronounced eomnuengeol and not eopsnuengeol? By reading the hangul 없 is eops right? but when pronounced it becomes more like eom... why is that?

There are many occasions where the last consonant is dropped because it sounds weird and is hard to pronounce two consonants in a row. I had a link to all those rules, but i can't find it now. I'm gonna look for it. =( In this case ᄉ is dropped and ᄇ becomes ᄆ. Just like when you say 합니다 It sounds like 함니다. I'm pretty sure this only happens when ᄇ meets ᄂ. There could be other cases. But i don't think so. =P

No just ignore pronounce ㅅ in there. It is pronouced "eop" If you add to "s", it will sound really funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ when you say "없다" , just ignore it and pronounce "eop-dda" But remember this, when you face "ㅇ" the next of "없" you should pronouce ㅅ too: "없어" -> 없 어 -> 업 써 = eop - SSer Basically, a consonant word "ㅇ" is dealed with No phonetic value; So "ㅅ" , as a main phonetic value "S", replace the position of "ㅇ".
