can you help?
my name is Yasmin but in Korean it's written as

야스민. I'm curious to know why there is an 'eu' sound (ㅡ) after the 's' (ㅅ) why not just 얏민? thanks!! ☺️

to put it simply, we don't pronounce any of consonants independently. it should always go with vowel. so, we don't have consonant clusters either.

just think like this, you know “yes” right? 예스 sounds 스 yas 야스 min 민 야스 민 야스민 😁

there are some reasons. when korean read English words, the word divide syllavels. for example, Bus is a syllavel in english pronunciation, but korean pronunciation are two syllavels. bu ‘버’and s ‘스’. so sometimes foreigners can not understand the pronunciation. I know it is weird. i think korean pronunciations are affected by Japanese grammar, becouse in the past we learn english by translating Japanense text.

It's related with (ㅅ) pronounce Korean grammer. I think it's similar with this example. If you pronounce 'Yes' is (예스), not (옛). If you want to pronounce (얏민), English spelling is Yat min...Uhg...so difficult to explain 😂😂😂

S could be ㅅ + ㅡ, but 얏 is close to Yat. T could be 얏,

Because ㅅ when combined with a word, it is pronounced as a ‘T’. So if you put ‘얏민’ it becomes, yat-min.
