Did you know?
- The syllable 콜 in 니콜 is used in modern Korean slang as a short way to say 'I am in' or 'Deal!', derived from the English word 'call'.
- Because 니콜 ends in a consonant, it takes the affectionate suffix 아 instead of 야. In Korean, the choice of which 'vocative particle' to use depends entirely on whether the name ends in a vowel or a consonant.
- If you were to write 'Nicole' in very stylized or 'cute' Korean internet slang, the consonants might be altered to make the name sound more 'aegyo' or adorable to the reader.
