Why it sounds a little different
- Korean has no F. It's written ㅍ (p), so the F in Felipe 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 펠리페예요.
Je ireumeun pellipe-yeyo. — My name is Felipe.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 펠리페 씨.
