Feedback What should be the official name of this site rendered in Hangul?

[Crichax]

I'm learning Korean and I'm thinking about translating the Kiwi Farms Wikipedia article into Korean. Do you think this is a decent "Hangulized" version?

"키위 팔룸스" (sounds like Ki~ui Pallumseu)

we don't have a wikipedia page

edit: ebin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

edit 2: idk anything about Korean and I don't know if Koreans would prefer a transliterated name or a translated name. i imagine transliterated works better.

I'll see what I can do to prevent the wikipedia page from being deleted.

The site is notable enough

"Kiwi" looks good. I'd change "Farms". First syllable P'arm. Second syllable su, as you have it. "Kiwi P'armsu". Don't have Hangul on my keyboard.

You're a real hero, man. Korean is one of the hardest languages to learn, but I'd like to read all of Homestuck in Korean someday. That would be dope AF.

According to the Defense Language Institute, Korean is one of the five hardest languages for Americans to learn. The others are Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Pashto, spoken in Afghanistan.

The only easy part of learning Korean was learning Hangul. Learned that in a couple of hours. Korean has almost no cognates re English. They use two different numbering systems, and they can mix numbering systems in the same numerical expression. There are several forms of the language, depending on who is speaking to whom. Grammar is a challenge. Basic sentence structure - subject-object-verb. Tense is expressed via infixes within verbs. Words are spelled as they sound. Korean is not a tonal language, unlike Chinese. It's just tonal whenever I speak it. Koreans keep a flat tone for declarative questions, and use a slightly rising tone at the end of questions.

If you are an American over in Korea, Koreans like to see any American who tries to speak Korean. They'll help you with what you're trying to say. In 39 months had only one Korean give me any crap for speaking Korean. As a side note, knowing Korean downtown can get you some good deals and help you get out of scrapes. If you are planning to go to Korea, even for a short period, learn Hangul. A lot of words commonly used in South Korea today are English words transliterated into Hangul. Yes, many Koreans speak at least some English, and many signs are in English, but that knowledge of Hangul is a good thing to have.

I last left Korea many years ago. Understand some Koreans now can be pretty rude towards Americans. This is where having ability in Korean can help. Kind of hard to be rude to someone who respects you and your country enough to try and speak the language.
