It's actually just the equivalent sound of english so it can't be fully appropriate. ㄴ is somewhere between n sound and d sound.
어 has two common pronunciations, depending on context: open-mid or low-mid back unrounded vowel /ʌ/, the a sound in fAther; and the mid central vowel /ə/, a schwa, as in -er in hover. It is never pronounced as the O in British lot, hop, ton. For that reason, the only sensible way to romanise the final syllable of Washington, is as they do (as pointed out by the others).
Names are also spelled as they sound not as they are written, washington is a name so they go by its sound and not the english way of writting it.
Can someone please tell me why Washington is written as Woshington ? Like why not use the double vowel "wa" ?
When something is a name they spell it how it is pronounced not how it is written, we have to remember that in the korean "alphabet" every letter of the english does not appear.
I love that when you type your response to this instead of clicking the buttons for it, even if you type it perfectly it says you're incorrect, that's super fun :)
Hhh that fact that its easier for me to spell washington in korean then english bc im not american XD
I did the assesment test and only got 2 wrong, why do i have to do these really easy and repetitive excercises?
