How to pronounce Mikael's name....

[CadenZ]

That Youtube clip...Mikael is only fucking around, "I'm fucking Michael" is a "hip" americanization. But I guess you already knew that.

Any which way, you can pronounce the name however you want, Aussie-style or American-style or Clad in Darkness-style, but it's not the Swedish (=right) way to pronounce it.

 

[Koi]

ME as in I
KHA
EL as the mexicans say

ME KHA EL

OAKER pronounce the R like an immigrant from Irak.
FELTT

 

[Vivören]

ME as in I

Reminds me of Peter Cook:

"The T is silent, as in 'Fox'".

For some strange reason, this thread reminds me of one Mr. Raymond Luxury-Yacht. (pronounced: Throat-Warbler Mangrove)

You do realize that he says Michael or Mike only when speaking to non-Swedes right?

It's Meek-ah-el Aw-kher-felt

 

[Wyrmwood]

Mee-kel Okure-felt.

 

[mexicola]

Mee-kel Okure-felt.

No, the A in Mikael is NOT silent.

 

[Wyrmwood]

No, the A in Mikael is NOT silent.

What douchebag is going to make his name three syllables when it's easier to say two?

[Annihilat0r]

Mikael's not even his real name

 

[Vivören]

Yeah, everyone knows it's Sven-Jürgen.

 

[Wyrmwood]

His real name is Dick Army.

 

[Jackehh]

to say Å in swedish imagine saying awkward with a really brittish accent, just the Aw in awkward

similar, if you want to say Ö, say skirt, extract the i (again, brittish english)

Ä is similar to american "yeah" dont stress the E though or it sounds completely wrong so rather ye-aaaaahhhhhh than yeeeeeeeeee-ah

 

[Vivören]

His real name is Dick Army.

Vagina Coast Guard.

 

[Wyrmwood]

It's fucking AWkerfelt. Quit nitpicking.

Mee-kel Awwwwwwkerfelt.
