the Pronunciation thread

[cookiecutter]

How do you say Tsjuder? I have been saying Tis - YOO - der

 

[Ender Rises]

^I believe that's correct

 

[Henrik Main]

^I believe that's correct

Well, it isn't.

Chjewder

 

[Ender Rises]

Ew. Um...
Cha-jew-der? Try sounding it just like it's spelled.

 

[Henrik Main]

CHEW-DER

 

[cookiecutter]

Sorry ender but I trust the Norwegian

 

[Ender Rises]

I would too.

 

[PanzerKunt]

incorrect, in the old thread someone posted a wav (?) saying
toe-ke ah/eh
......im not good at writing this crap for other people but its along those lines somewhere, although there is still the possibiliy this may be wrong because i havent heard it out of hoests mouth himself : /

"Tåke". Å sounds like the pronounced O in "boring". Kinda like "aw", but not.

 

[SacredReich]

isn't it sort an "uh" sound? i'm getting so confused with some of the words being used, being australian the american pronunciations don't click with me.

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

What about Wyrd?

I think it's "Wired". Just spelled differently.

And What about Thyrfing? Looks like someone saying the word "Surfing" ... Just with a real mean lisp. Thur-fing?

More I don't know how to pronounce:
-Myrkskog - Murk-Skog?, Meerk-Skog?
-Neaera - Knee-Era?
-Sigtyr - Sig-Tur?, Sig-Tire?
-Minjar - Mine-Jar?, Minn-Jar?

 

[Susperia]

Dee-oh = yes
Dee-ah-side = No, it's DAY-ih-side

Also, some of my friends say ACK - er - coke

That's because they don't want to say cock.

Cock.

 

[Susperia]

Okay how the fuck do you get Dio wrong?!! Jesus.

 

[Hammer of Might]

That's because they don't want to say cock.

Cock.

I know, tee hee

 

[Stormwatch]

Not a band, but

Cthulhu.

Personally I say K-too-loo but some say k-thoo-loo. Idiots.

 

[PanzerKunt]

Buhring?
Boring kinda O. As in "from", "Tom" and "come". "Fråm", "Tåm" and "kåm"

 

[unknown]

Not a band, but

Cthulhu.

Personally I say K-too-loo but some say k-thoo-loo. Idiots.

well, if we're going by Lovecraft's standards, the human tongue cannot pronounce it properly

(but I say it K-too-loo also)

 

[Alongside Death]

Is there any diference between "the" or "thy"?

 

[Stormwatch]

Is there any diference between "the" or "thy"?

Yes, thy ryhmes with sty. However, "ye" was pronounced the same as "the" in medieval times which may be what you're thinking of?

 

[unknown]

Is there any diference between "the" or "thy"?

I think "thy" is just the possessive form of "thou" (you). "Thy book" and such and such... whereas "the" is just an article...THE Grimarse...THE cakebaker...


I'm not really in a grammar mood today

 

[Thraxz]

Erik... you rule.
