like the girls name "alexia" except just say a-lexi "lie-ho"
 
You, Americans, are always having so big problems while pronouncing the non-english words ;) Maybe you should try this page:

Finnish names

You'll find the name "Aleksi" in the "Male names" (Aleksi = Aleksi) and "Laiho" in the "Last names" list. Click on it and you'll hear the correct ppronunciation. :)
I hope it will be usefull....
 
I'm stupid, but I hear Bodom pronounced very differently ALWAYS. On live bootlegs, cds, and the rare occasion I find someone here that likes them, people.

Is it like "Boe Dome", Boo Doom, Bawdome, or What?! IM CONFUSED AS FUCK!
 
Ooops, sorry DualMuso. I hadn't read your post carefully enough, so I took you for an American. Stupid me :mad: I hope you will forgive me :rolleyes:
By the way, this site with names is really cool. I found it while searching for the online finnish course. Maybe someone can reccomend me any good pages?...
 
yeah, it wud be interesting since i cannot find any decent finnish grammar book (either for italians or for english people) and i lost all the links i had bout finnish grammar....

"Lie-Ho" ? :lol: Almoust every Finnish word is pronounced as it is written. So pronounce Laiho as "Laiho". So simple ;)

I hope that you're really joking, 'cause if you aren't, I have to say to you:
Don't you understand that in any language the words are pronounced "as they are written", but the basic pronouncing differs a lot. Okay, English has sometimes different types of pronouncing in words that looks a bit same, but primarily they are pronounced "as they are written".

Hopefully this was not too confusing :)
 
LAIHO is pronounced LI-HO ?! It's pronounced LAI-HO ! God damnet :lol: I get it what you were saying Scy and it's true but..
If you look a Finnish word you don't need instructions to pronounce it (I mean if you are a finn!!) but if you look some English word you mayby need instructions.

This too was confusing :)
