How to write Robert in Korean
로버트
- 로ro
- 버beo
- 트teu
3 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 트 comes from.
- R and L share one letter, ㄹ — Korean doesn't tell them apart.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 로버트예요.
Je ireumeun robeoteu-yeyo. — My name is Robert.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 로버트 씨.
