Audrey in Korean 오드리
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Audrey as 오드리: three syllables, said o-deu-ri. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Audrey letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㄹ between two vowels (드리) is one quick tap of the tongue, like the tt in American "butter": closer to a soft d than an English r.
- 드 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- ㅗ is a pure "o" with rounded lips. Don't add the w-glide English puts in "go".
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's o-deu-ri, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 오드리 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 오드리 or 오드리 씨.
Why it's spelled 오드리
Here the letters and the sound line up: applying the loanword rules letter by letter already gives 오드리, the same spelling Korean media use.
- Korean adds the vowel ㅡ to consonants that have no vowel of their own (드), which is why Audrey has 3 syllables in Korean.
