How to write Thomas in Korean
토머스
- 토to
- 머meo
- 스seu
3 syllables · Also written 토마스. · 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.
- TH has no Korean letter. It's usually ㅅ (s), sometimes ㄷ (d) or ㅌ (t).
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 토머스예요.
Je ireumeun tomeoseu-yeyo. — My name is Thomas.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 토머스 씨.
