How do you pronounce it?

peuriyanka

Did you know?

  • Korean speakers may add a title like 씨 after 프리얀카 to be polite, creating 프리얀카 씨, as using a given name alone can be considered overly casual or rude.
  • The letter 'r' in the syllable 프리 is represented by the Korean 'ㄹ' (rieul), which functions as a flap sound similar to the 'tt' in the English word 'better'.
  • In Korean, there is no way to represent the English 'v' sound, so if a name contained one, it would likely be replaced by a 'b' or 'p' sound. While not present in 프리얀카, this rule often changes how international names look in Hangul.

Examples in context

  • 네, 맞아요.
    Yes, that's right.
  • 프리얀카 씨, 안녕하세요?
    Hello, Priyanka, how are you?
