Hello. Since youโre a translation blog, Iโm hoping you are Korean. I have a quick question. When do Koreans pronounce their Ws? Cause I know they pronounce waeyo as written but then Woozi is pronounced Uji?
This is a good question!
First off, let me introduce you to two Korean vowels:ย ใ (o) andย ใ (u)Like other vowels, these are always preceded by aย ใ so youโll see them asย ์ค or ์ฐ hereafter.ย These two are the characters responsible for making the W sound.ย Ex:์ค +ย ใ (a) = waย ์ฐ + ใ (e) = weย ์ค +ย ใ (ae) = wae์ฐ +ย ใ ฃ (i) = wi์ฐ +ย ใ (eo) = weo/woThe reason why when it comes to names like Woozi, Wonwoo, etc., theย โwooโ is pronounced as u or oo is because the character for it is ์ฐ, which is responsible for making the w sound when followed by other vowels. Since this cannot be attached by another u or oo, like how ์, ์จ,ย ์, etc. are formed, itโs just left as is. So you just read it as u or oo.I hope I explained that well. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot a message anytime. :)ย -Yeosh
