Transcript

sooo interesting!! 😆 My name is Cha Jaeseung. Jaeseung. Is it "ae"? Yes. Don't look at the subtitle but if you heard him the name was Tesun. Tesun. And then the guy in the blue shirt asked Te-ai-ai. Because if you look at this 'ae' is a compound vowel. It's made of 'a' and 'e'. That's what makes it 'ae'. That's why he said 'ai ai'. To verify how his name is spelled. Is it 'ae' or is it 'te' with this 'ae' or is it 'te' with this 'ae'?? So with that logic, if somebody's name with this 'ae' verify which 'ae' they're talking about. This 'ae' would be 'a-i' 'a-i' because it's made of 'a' and 'e'. And 'e' because it's made of 'a' and 'i', right? Pretty interesting!!
