Why Rob is translated as 롭이 instead of 로비?












1















According to a course at memrise.com, 저는 롭이에요 means I'm Rob (humble). I am wondering why Rob is translated as 롭이 instead of 로비. To me, the latter seems to be more natural and is easier to write.

  • Robby would be 로비. But Rob is written as . So 롭이에요 == +이에요 and 롭이 == +.

Someone already commented but if i expand that sentence,



it is actually




저 + 는 + 롭 + 이에요




So Rob is 롭 In korean.



That's how we change English sound to Korean in general.



And since you want to write something easy '롭' is best for you. :)

    In the given Korean sentence, Rob corresponds to 롭, not 롭이.



    The closest transliteration of the English name Rob /rob/ [ɹ̠ɒb] would be 롭 /rob/ [ɾop̚] according to Korean phonology and phonetics. 롭이/로비 would sound [ɾobi], with a completely unnecessary [i].



    The sentence "저는 롭이에요" is decomposed into





    • 저: I(polite)


    • -는: topic marker

    • 롭: Rob


    • -이(다): descriptive postposition


    • -에요: descriptive ending(polite)

              In the given Korean sentence, Rob corresponds to 롭, not 롭이.



              The closest transliteration of the English name Rob /rob/ [ɹ̠ɒb] would be 롭 /rob/ [ɾop̚] according to Korean phonology and phonetics. 롭이/로비 would sound [ɾobi], with a completely unnecessary [i].



              The sentence "저는 롭이에요" is decomposed into





              • 저: I(polite)


              • -는: topic marker

              • 롭: Rob


              • -이(다): descriptive postposition


              • -에요: descriptive ending(polite)
