Why it sounds a little different
- Korean doesn't stack consonants, so a short “eu” (ㅡ) slips in — that's where 스 comes from.
- TH has no Korean letter. It's usually ㅅ (s), sometimes ㄷ (d) or ㅌ (t).
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 이디스예요.
Je ireumeun idiseu-yeyo. — My name is Edith.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 이디스 씨.
