Lu Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:14 PM Report Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:14 PM Quick question for the people here who know Korean: how would you romanise the name 南慧英? It's a character in a story that I need to write about. Thanks! Quote
leeyah Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:27 PM Report Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:27 PM Should be: Nam Hye Yeong Quote
Lu Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:30 PM Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:30 PM Thanks! Is there a rule about whether one should write Nam Hye Yeong or Nam Hye-yeong? Quote
leeyah Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:32 PM Report Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:32 PM Not sure really, the Koreans I've known write, i.e. romanise their personal names separately. Quote
Lu Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:47 PM Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 at 02:47 PM Thanks again, I'll just write it separately then. Quote
atitarev Posted April 14, 2009 at 08:13 PM Report Posted April 14, 2009 at 08:13 PM 南慧英 남혜영 Nam Hye-yeong You can use Wiktionary to get the Korean reading of characters in Hangul and Roman letters: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page Quote
