Jasmine in Korean 재스민
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Jasmine as 재스민: three syllables, said jae-seu-min. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Jasmine letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
스 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- ㅐ (ae) is said like the e in "bed" by most Koreans today, a little more closed than the a in "cat".
- ㅈ at the start is soft and unvoiced, halfway between ch and j.
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's jae-seu-min, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 재스민 reads as a foreign name at a glance. In casual sentences Koreans often add 이 after a name that ends in a consonant: 재스민이 왔어 ("Jasmine's here").
Why it's spelled 재스민
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 자스마인, but Korean media write 재스민, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- The final e is silent. It only makes the vowel before it long.
- Korean adds the vowel ㅡ to consonants that have no vowel of their own (스), which is why Jasmine has 3 syllables in Korean.
