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).
- Z is written with ㅈ (j).
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 엘리자베스예요.
Je ireumeun ellijabeseu-yeyo. — My name is Elizabeth.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 엘리자베스 씨.
