How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is Abudora.
Did you know?
- While アブドラ is the standard transcription, some Japanese speakers might use アブドゥッラー to more closely mimic the Arabic emphasis on the final 'l'.
- Because Japanese phonology lacks a standalone 'l' sound, the 'll' in 'Abdullah' is rendered as ラ ('ra'), which is a flap sound produced between an 'r' and an 'l'.
- If you were to write this name using Kanji based on its sounds, it would be considered 'ateji', a practice where characters are chosen for sound rather than meaning.
Examples in context
- こんにちは、私の名前はアブドゥラーです。よろしくお願いします。Hello, my name is Abdullah. Nice to meet you.
