Transliteration of a non-English word?
Hi. I think a friend told me this Korean word in English alphabet "Gukkiwon" means something like a "World Taekwondo Center" ( I am not sure though).
Should a person place the definite article before it in these sententical situations? Do we have to put the definite article since there is the word "Center" in what could be called a Korean version of the word?
He visited the Gukkiwon. He got his training at the Gukkiwon.

Hi, 'A' or 'the' is normally used for words like this, depending on whether or not you want to refer to a specific Gukkiwon. I assume there is more than one such place. Best wishes, Clive
