How to write Sven in Korean

스벤
- 스seu
- 벤ben
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 스 comes from.
- No V either — it becomes ㅂ (b).
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 스벤이에요.
Je ireumeun seuben-ieyo. — My name is Sven.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 스벤 씨.
