These are English words, look them up on m-w.com and they will have a pronunciation button next to the word.

While we're on the topic of Korean names I'd also like to point out to those of you who don't know that in English, whenever you see an "i" in a Korean name it is always pronounced "EEEEE" as in "beam." For example Kim is not pronounced Kim as in "it" but it sounds more like KEEEM or GEEEM.

Also, all As are pronounced AHHH like the a in "hahaha" Not AYYYY.

Often you will hear journalists totally butcher Korean (and other Asian) names. It makes me upset.

For example the other day I was watching the news and they were talking about a Dr. named Dr. Wang. This is not pronounced "Wayng" as in "way" but rather "WAHng." Watch the BoxeR vs Joyo VOD to see what I am talking about. Joyo's name is Do Jin Kwang (also spelled Doh Jin Kwang). Listen to how they pronounce that.

It annoys me so much when journalists do that.


It annoys me too, join the club.

What annoys me further is that Koreans changed their names so English speakers could better pronounce it but they still suck at it.

But it doesn't bother me to the point where I go around yelling and correcting people about it. Everywhere people call me ' K-ang ' like ' Angry ' and it's pointless trying to get them to say ' Ghang ' Plus Kang is cooler most of the time.

Except for this one time in 5th grade....

Damn that faggot.

about the syllables this is what i learned in middle skool when i was here in korea. China back then in the old times were like the big brother to korea. and since names are based on chinese chracters. (so this is before korea had hangul) the chinese would use 2 chinese characters to write their name and korea would use 3. korea passed on chinese chracters to japan. and since korea taught japan and we use 3 chracters japanese people use 4 characters to write their name.

Chinese mainly use 3 characters for their names. The first one is the family name, and is sort of equivelant to the last names in English. Very rarely, a person may have a name with 2 characters or 4 characters. I have never heard of any Chinese person with 1, 5, or more characters in their name.

There are some exceptions to the common 3 sylybles in Korean names, but almost all the names stick to that. Like my brother has 4, but that's even rarer than 2, kinda like Kang-Min (nal_ra) has.
