Arlo in Korean 알로
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Arlo as 알로: two syllables, said al-lo. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Arlo letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
The double ㄹ in 알로 is a clear English l, as in "hello", not an r.
- ㅗ is a pure "o" with rounded lips. Don't add the w-glide English puts in "go".
- Two even beats, al-lo: Korean doesn't stress one syllable over the other the way English does.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables, so 알로 already sounds natural to Korean ears. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 알로 or 알로 씨.
Why it's spelled 알로
Here the letters and the sound line up: applying the loanword rules letter by letter already gives 알로, the same spelling Korean media use.
- An r after a vowel (before a consonant or at the end) isn't written. Korean spelling follows British-style pronunciation, where that r is silent.
- An l between vowels is written twice (final ㄹ + ㄹ), so Koreans say a clear l instead of a tapped r.
