How do you pronounce it?
jenesiseu
Did you know?
- While 제네시스 refers to the luxury car brand, if you want to speak about the biblical or cosmic 'genesis', you would use the native Korean term 창세기.
- In Korea, the 제네시스 brand is so prestigious that owning one is often seen as a symbol of having reached a certain social or professional rank.
- The word 제네시스 ends with the vowel sound 으 ('eu'), a common addition in Korean to make English consonant endings pronounceable.
Examples in context
- 성경의 처음 책은 "창세기"입니다.The first book of the Bible is "Genesis."
- "창세기"에는 많은 이야기가 있어요."Genesis" has many stories.
