How to write Alice in Korean
앨리스
- 앨ael
- 리li
- 스seu
3 syllables · 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 스 comes from.
- R and L share one letter, ㄹ — Korean doesn't tell them apart.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 앨리스예요.
Je ireumeun aelliseu-yeyo. — My name is Alice.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 앨리스 씨.
