My handphone dictionary says his spelling is the correct one, with 유태 being Judea, 유태교 being Judaism, 유태인 being a Jew. 유태민족
being the Jews collectively, and 유태민족주의 being Zionism.
This is why I prefer Sino-Korean words to native Korean ones. The construction system is so simple, intuitive, and powerful. |
Interesting. My dictionary shows 유태인 (but not 유대인) if you search in Korean, but if you search for the word in English, it comes up as 유대인 (but not 유태인). |

Well, the only way to settle it is to turn to the Hanja for a Jewish person, which is 猶太人. 太 is pronounced 태. |
