유수프

- 수su
- 프peu
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 프 comes from.
- Korean has no F. It's written ㅍ (p), so the F in Yusuf comes out as a soft P.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 유수프예요.
Je ireumeun yusupeu-yeyo. — My name is Yusuf.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 유수프 씨.
