The Korean term 태권도 is the only "correct" term. All other writings are phonetic translations, however, the most commonly accepted and accurate translation to the English letters would be Taekwondo.

The first syllable (태) is sound that is phonetically similar to "tack" and is best represented with the "ae" vowel blend in "Tae." It does not sound like "Tie," "Tay," or Tah."
