2 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 츠 comes from.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 마츠예요.
Je ireumeun macheu-yeyo. — My name is Mats.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 마츠 씨.
