what is my korean name?

[chamchimlicup135770]

Hi, my name is Rhodette. I'm just wondering what the Korean translation of that. I just want to know how to write my name in korean example Tiffany----티파니 please help me

Hi Rhodette,

It all depends on how your name is pronounced, and then there are probably a few ways you could write it in hangul. For example, my name is Mitch but my Korean friends call me 밋치 (the official way), 매츠, 미치, 미취. For some common English names like your example there is an official translation, but a lot of English names don't have one. The great thing about that is you can make your own Korean name. Just by looking at your name I would say 러뎃 or 로뎃 but I don't know how it is pronounced.

- 밋치

Thanks for the comment and quick reply!
As Mitch mentioned above, yes! It all depends on how your name is pronounced in Romanization.
SO... if you really want to know how to say your name in Korean, please let me know the Romanization of your name, Rhodette.

(it's my guess) your name is pronounced as [roudit]. If it is correct, then... your name in Korean is...
로우[ro-u] + 디[di] + 트[teu] = 로우디트[rou-di-teu] "Rhodette"

I hope my reply helps you know Korean better,
cheers,
Tim

Thank you, Mitch 밋치, for the quick reply and explanation. It's very helpful!

Hi, my name is Winnie and I wonder if someone can help me translate that to Korean? I tried to do it on an online translator but it was like Unnie which is Sister in Korean and that's just weird! Heh. Thanks in advance

[timandyou]

Hello Winnie
Before I say anything, I have to say this, "one of my friends has a name, Winnie, as well".
I feel like I am talking to my friend, Winnie~~ ^^

Okay, about your comment,
your request for translation...?? Translate what?

"Hi, my name is Winnie" =
안녕하세요 [an-nyeong-ha-se-yo] "hi"
저의 이름은 [jeo-eu i-reumeun] "my name"
위니 [wi-ni] "Winnie"
입니다 [im-ni-da] "is"
Therefore, 안녕하세요, 저의 이름은 "위니"입니다.

I hope this helps,
cheers,
Tim

I would love to know how to write my name too. It's Sophie, but in my country it's pronounced right out. The "o" pronounced like ㅗ and the "e" pronounced like ㅐ. So it's like Sㅗphiㅐ .. If anyone understood that. x'3

Therefore:?

'So" like 'so and so,' also 'sow' and 'sew'

"phi" like 'fee,' also like 'feet' without the 't'

"e" like 'aye' also 'acorn' without the 'corn'


Hi 소피애, nice to met you;
Sounds like you know how to write it already. The only trouble I see is if 'ph' is pronounced like 'f,' because, as I'm sure you know, there is no 'F' sound in the Korean language.

Ready for the shocker?

The following sounds do not exist in Korean and can only be closely approximated in Hangul by substitutions of similar sounds:

F, V, Z, TH, ER, and the sound of 'a' as it is pronounced in words like 'at' 'cat' 'hat' 'rat'

typical substitutions:

F - ㅍ strong P sound
V - ㅂ b sound
Z - ㅈ j sound
TH - ㄷ d sound
ER - 어 eo sound (the 'uh' sound in 'duh')

the 'a' sound in cat and hat is replaced commonly with 에 (sounds like 'eigh' as in weigh ) and sometimes 아 (ah)

so in a word like 'father' (containing THREE missing sounds) we would typically see 파더 (Paduh), which would be almost unintelligible to a native speaker of English
