"Cho Nay" Approx.

It should actually be spelled cheonae in keeping with the current romanized version of spelling that is used.

Thank you! I was saying "Chu Nay" but I wanted to clarify.

Paranoidprego - I learned a lot from this thread, too! And fwiw, the blue flower print looks really pretty in person, I think. I wasn't thrilled with some of the patterns/colors, but this is great! Good luck!

Your welcome!

I think the blue flower pattern looks pretty. I wish that I got that one instead of the denim. I once saw a Korean man wearing the blue flower one in Korea. He didn't look girly at all.

[Rose-Roget]

Yes, I chose it because I could talk my dh into wearing it (he said he probably wouldn't wear the red). He doesn't seem to look girly in the blue - especially once there's a baby in the carrier!

I must say morningcalm is very good at Korean.
I actually have a column at the right of my blog to show how to prononce chunei and podegi.

Yes it should be spelt choe-nae if we followed the fixed set of korean-english spelling... i donno why spelt it chunei in the very beginning... it has since become like a trademark and everyone is just saying chunei.

Thanks Jellies. I read read and write Korean but cannot speak it very well .

Not to be picky but the Chu part of Chunei should be spelled Cheo. This spelling is in keeping with how Seoul is spelled. Cheo should be spelled and rhyme with the Seo part. This version of spelling is the current romanization of the language. Unfortunately, there are a couple of different ways to romanize the Korean language which is why you spell it Choenae and I spell it Cheonae. Also, this is probably why the carrier ended up with its current spelling of Chunei.

o yes that was a typo on my end!! i know it should be spelt cheo as in the same sound as that seoul word...
from the beginning it was introduced as a chunei so i didn't want to change the spelling so everyone will know that's the carrier we talking about.
so how long did you live in korea?

Thanks again!

have you looked at www.hosausa.com? they have some really nice patterns, plus a couple of solid colours (in organic cotton, even). these fit my style more than the korean baby ones.

.....so i guess they just have pink & denim for solid colours. i just liked the star patterns & got the green swirl one for myself, which is actually a much more vibrant green than the pic shows

Oops. I'm sorry I should of realized that it was a typo. I make tons of typos myself!

Jellies- I forget to add that I lived in Korea for 3 years.

Paranoidprego- the Korean patterns are not to everyone tastes but I quite like them. The denim, blue flower and I-navy mesh babycomfort chuneis look really good on in person. The photos don't do them justice.
