consonant+이에요

e.g.

이영숙이에요

심청이에요로

 

vowel+예요

철수예요, 김철수예요, 김소이예요’. In conversation, you usually say without saying a last name. (As opposed to ‘저는 조은걸 입니다’ or ‘제 이름은 조은걸 입니다’)  As examples, names like ‘형민’, ‘영숙’ whose last letters, 민 and 숙 respectively end with Batchim (the final consonant at the end of the syllable). Therefore, -이 is added after the names as 형민이, 영숙이 in which cases, it ends with the vowel sound ‘이’, thereby becoming ‘예요, 영숙예요’.
