EDIT: had to chose btw daim and dajm....I dont know why...

Isn't 'Daim' with an 'i' pronounced exactly the same as 'Dajm' with a 'j'?

In other words, isn't 'Dajm' pronounced 'Daim'?

I don't know how to be any clearer.

Antz · Post by **Antz** » 8 Jun 2003, 05:16

hmm i think dajm is dayim like so that there's a slight hint of y in it, but not much. dunno.

devin wrote:ribot, now that you mention it, I have never spoken Abula's name aloud yet.

That brings me to another thought, when you guys are at meetings (or just talking in person) do you use their nicks or their first names?

Sorry ribot for any offense of me speaking your name wrong in my thoughts. I will now call thee robot.

The times ive been to the danish elma meetings or when ive just visited GuyB and Rigger... we used the nicks....

and also IRL im called petsen becuz its a contraction of my last name PETERSEN, which in my danish dialect becomes petsen, and how to pronounce it? well lookie here 'peytsen' with 'pey' like when u -pay- something, and 'sen' with the 'e' like in -men-... very easy

btw, my mother gave me that nickname when i was a little boy

but then again, most ppl in Denmark who are have the last name PETERSEN, are called petsen or pets (not like an animanl pet!) fx my uncles name is Jens PETERSEN, and we call him pets but pronounce it like 'pits' ... like a tar-pit sort of pit sound

geez no more name pronounciation for today

eL · Post by eL » 12 Jun 2003, 22:49

my nick is pornounced just like el

. Although one girl said that it is pronounced like el' (and that was after i called her a pig

, and that was after she came into CS clan "three pigs" (or something like that) and i wanted her to go to my clan [LoL])

My nick wasn`t produced because I were snooker fan

Some time ago I played one of the best games of all time -
Grand Theft Auto 3
In that game was gangster called 8-ball. I liked that name and now i`m
8-ball too

That`s me

psteve · Post by **psteve** » 18 Nov 2004, 14:15

sorry for bring this topic up, but my name/nick is pronounce steve. nat pee steve. just steve. and i've always pronounced zworqy as zworgy and juble as jubes and dz as dizzy and...probably the best one... sierra as siria. said somewhere before but also pronounce tisjoris as tigoris (g as in gem, or english j sound where j doesn't equal y)
edit: and ANpDaD as annp-dad first 'a' is long, second 'a' is short, a p is almost silent, just a break really.

anpdad · Post by **anpdad** » 18 Nov 2004, 16:43

try speak my nick

i'll write the right form next time when i'll have ideas how to write it :S
btw in "dz" i pronounce only first sounds of both letters "d" and "z" ----- "dz", not "dee-zee", hehe.. So it sounds almost like short "zzzzz..."

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 21 Nov 2004, 11:40

This is a kinda disfunctional discussion, since everybody tries to give the pronounciation in their own language-like. Try to do it for an english man.

I decided to make a sound file of me pronouncing the nicks of a bunch of people: http://www.home.no/sveinrune/nicks.mp3

text: http://www.home.no/sveinrune/nickname.txt

I don't usually pronounce these out load though, most of them I've never said out load before in my life, so dunno if it came out exactly as it would "in my head". Also, some might be pronounced a bit differently depending on if I'm talking with/about them in Norwegian or English. But for the most part, what I say in that mp3 file is how I'd pronounce them. You'll find that there is no standard here, some I'll pronounce in a Norwegian fashion, others in English, and some with a combination ;S

You'll also hear me speak a little bit Ã¥o

wjelo · Post by **wjelo** » 30 Nov 2007, 16:04

sach funey in some parts :D like MJXII
wiElOryB pronounced kinda well btw
sach accent :D
i think i wouldn't be able to do it without bursting into loughter few times and correcting myself when saying a few nicks impsy to pronounce for a Pole
maybe i'll try teh, but ez remove many nicks unfamiliar to me and add some

Igge · Post by **Igge** » 30 Nov 2007, 16:16

igge was nice with a little norwiegan touch, i pronounce it with a little less preasure on the I, but no need to complain ^^

I love your "u" in like berhabdouul.

btw would like it if tijsjoris would make an mp3, cause i have no clue to how to pronounce it. I say like tishÃ¥ris (Ã¥ kinda like ou in ofcourse)

Xiphias · Post by **Xiphias** » 30 Nov 2007, 19:12

tijsjoris was something like "Day-sure-is" all together fast..
couldn't think of any better way to explain it

it's nothing like what you see in the nick/name

totally different =D

edit: maybe "Die-sure-is" is better than Day.. coz I think it was that "Aaaii pronunciation in teh.

Yeh, I think I've heard you say it some years ago. Some Danish pronounciation of "petersen", is it not?

First of all, <3 accent. "Svine R" eh? All these years I've been pronouncing it "sveyn ir", jaytea does the same.

Secondly, some of those nicks I believe you pronounce incorrectly. When I met Fluff irl he told me that axxu is pronounced "ax uh", with the "uh" being said like the "u" in "under". We both agreed it was weird but apparently it's right. The way you said Bartek is perhaps correct in Swedish, but since it's a Polish name in origin, the "BA" should be the stressed syllable, the 'A' not so Ã¥, more like 'aaaaa' when you open your mouth. Lol @ 'MJX I I" also, I guess this is correct, though I always said it as "MJX 2". "mr" is pronounced more like "Ã¤mÃ¤r", though I used to say "mister" as you do. "Tijsjoris" is obviously way off, it should be pronounced "tissioris" according to him.

I realize you probably don't care but my intellectual vanity prevents me from passing up an opportunity to appear informed.

haha that was classic... as an aussie i think mcleod is the funniest one on the list...

correct me if i'm wrong bob but it should be 'mck-loud' in a very thick aussie accent should it not?

apart from that, all of those other names you did a pretty good job with! haha i dont even bother trying to pronounce half the people on that list, tijsjoris is one of the hardest i come across

long story short, good effort
