Judith in Korean 주디스
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Judith as 주디스: three syllables, said ju-di-seu. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Judith 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.
- 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 ju-di-seu, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 주디스 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 주디스 or 주디스 씨.
Why it's spelled 주디스
Here the letters and the sound line up: applying the loanword rules letter by letter already gives 주디스, the same spelling Korean media use.
- Korean has no th, so th becomes ㅅ (s), the closest sound.
- Korean adds the vowel ㅡ to consonants that have no vowel of their own (스), which is why Judith has 3 syllables in Korean.
