How to write Abraham in Korean
에이브러햄
- 에e
- 이i
- 브beu
- 러reo
- 햄haem
5 syllables · Also written 아브라함. · Spelled by the National Institute of Korean Language's rules for foreign names.
Why it sounds a little different
- Korean doesn't stack consonants, so a short “eu” (ㅡ) slips in — that's where 브 comes from.
- R and L share one letter, ㄹ — Korean doesn't tell them apart.
Say it in Korean
