Tony in Korean 토니
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Tony as 토니: two syllables, said to-ni. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Tony letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㅌ at the start is aspirated: a clear puff of air, like the t in "top".
- ㅗ is a pure "o" with rounded lips. Don't add the w-glide English puts in "go".
- Two even beats, to-ni: 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 토니 already sounds natural to Korean ears. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 토니 or 토니 씨.
Why it's spelled 토니
Here the letters and the sound line up: applying the loanword rules letter by letter already gives 토니, the same spelling Korean media use.
