Tadhg in Korean 타이그
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Tadhg as 타이그: three syllables, said ta-i-geu. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Tadhg letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
그 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- ㅌ at the start is aspirated: a clear puff of air, like the t in "top".
- ㅇ at the top of 이 is silent, so 이 is just the vowel: i.
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's ta-i-geu, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 타이그 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 타이그 or 타이그 씨.
Why it's spelled 타이그
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 태드흐그, but Korean media write 타이그, because the name is written the way it sounds in Irish, not the way it's spelled.
- It is an Irish (Gaelic) name, and Irish spelling hides the sound: dh is silent and several vowels are silent. Korean writes what you hear, not the letters.
