- 앨ael
- 피pi
2 syllables · Spelled by the National Institute of Korean Language's rules for foreign names.
Why it sounds a little different
- Korean has no F. It's written ㅍ (p), so the F in Alfie comes out as a soft P.
- R and L share one letter, ㄹ — Korean doesn't tell them apart.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 앨피예요.
Je ireumeun aelpi-yeyo. — My name is Alfie.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 앨피 씨.
