How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is Emilia.
Did you know?
- Korean speakers often refer to this region as part of 에밀리아-로마냐 ('Emilia-Romagna') because the combined name is far more common in modern travel and culinary contexts than 에밀리아 alone.
- The phonetic transcription 에밀리아 is identical to how Koreans write the female given name 'Emilia', meaning the word's meaning depends entirely on the context of the conversation.
- Because Korean is a syllable-timed language, 에밀리아 is pronounced with four distinct beats, unlike the more fluid gliding sounds of the original Italian 'Emilia'.
Examples in context
- 안녕, 이밀리아 씨!Hello, Emilia!
- 안녕하세요! 밀리로 불러주세요.Hello! Please call me Milli.
