How to write Jennifer in Korean
제니퍼
- 제je
- 니ni
- 퍼peo
3 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 Jennifer 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 제니퍼예요.
Je ireumeun jenipeo-yeyo. — My name is Jennifer.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 제니퍼 씨.
