에드와드

[manyakumi]

에드워드 라고 부르는 경우가 가장 많습니다.

^^

[javiskefka]

아, 감사합니다. 이름은 'AR' 영문이 있어도 말하면 'ER' 소리가 나거든요. 그렇지 않아요?

[manyakumi]

네, 그렇습니다.

꼭 이름이 아니더라도 AR이 '어'로 표기되는 경우가 있습니다.
그것은 앞에 W가 붙어 있기 때문이라 생각합니다.
W는 자음이지만 한국어 발음에서는 뒤에 붙은 모음을 바꿔주는 모음 역할을 합니다.
A 의 소리인 '아'의 앞에 '우' 소리를 덧붙이는 역할을 하는데요
하지만 '우ㅏ'라는 글자가 되어 버리니까 뒤에 붙은 'ㅏ'가 앞의 'ㅜ'에 모음동화되어
'ㅓ'로 바뀌어 버리는 것입니다.

The War (디 워) 같은 말이 있겠죠.

So did you catch that Edward?

Your name is best represented as: "에드워드 "

[hyunwoo]

Hehe. Yeah Edward is a hard one,
but it's usually written in this one form :

에드워드

You could write it like 애드워드 or 애드와드, but for some reason the romanization 에드워드 is so common that everybody's used to it.

Now I finally know the proper way to put my name in hangul. Maybe those Victorian names are not meant to be Koreanized.

[steved]

John, I had to laugh, the way you did it I would say the English transaltion would be "Edweird". (No offense meant, Edward.)

[John]

Yeah I am not good at spelling, I'll try to refrain.....

Being Taiwanese-American, the Chinese name that my parents gave me is 王盈仁
At least according to the Declan dictionary I have, converting the Hanja to Hangul seems to give 왕영인
A Korean friend told me that the romanization for that would be something like "Wang Young In"
Are those correct? Is that a name that would make sense (for a male)?

Yeah I think 왕영인 is a very good name 영인 can be a very natural Korean name too.

And about the romanization, there are a few different systems that are being used, so no one system is absolutely right or right. But yeah, Wang Young In is fine, and Wang Yeong In is good too !

I think that name, 영인 is good for both male and female person's name.

[hyunwoo]

I think that name, 영인 is good for both male and female person's name.

I agree It's a very good name!

That is why I learned hangul right away, because there are soooooooo many different ways to romanize Korean that it became confusing.
