Two of the members of the new K-pop "idol" group, UNIS / U&iS, are pure Filipino, they are "Elisia" and Gehlee.
But how do you pronounce their names?
If you write their names in Hangul, you can get the pronunciation correctly.
- Elisia = 엘리시아 = e·li·si·a = eh-lee-si-ah (not e-lai-sha)
- Gehlee = 젤리 = je·li = je-lee (sounds like jelly)
P.S. Happy Birthday Elisia!
Or, in Filipino, Maligayang Kaarawan Elisia!
- Maligaya (ma-lee-ga-ya) = happy
- Kaarawan (ka-ah-ra-wan) = birthday, anniversary
"Maligayang kaarawan", when used in context to refer to a single person, is generally understood as "happy birthday".
