New elma song?

Post by Khempejjer »

Hey!

I might be making a new elma song sometime this year (can't promise anything, though), and I want to know how you pronounce your names.

So could you please record your names somehow and upload them somewhere? It might be more convenient if ,e.g., a Finnish kuski pronounced a number of Finnish nicks, a Russian Russian nicks, etc. It would save me a lot of time and effort.

Cheers.

You have the artistic license to pronounce my nick "Ay Kay Bee". Very hard, I know. :)

Bjenn should be pronounced "BOSS", or simply Bjenn. Like Jennifer but put B in beginning and plz remove "ifer".

Rly simple.

edit: Bjennifer :D wtf, I've always read that "j" like in "yeah" not like in "jump". Never even thought about that eng pronunciation.

well that didn't go as planned..
You were right about pronouncing my nick normal as bjenn as you said first =)

I tried to make people understand how it sounds, maybe Jennifer was a bad example.

If you say YEAR and put pronouncication of "Y" to the "j" in Bjenn, then you are right =)

"Y" in year sounds like "j" in Sweden at least.

Who gives a damn say whatever you want.. Stop giving stupid ideas though.

Lala Bjenn, if you use an english name as an example, it's pretty obvious people are going to use the english pronunciation, so with a hard J :P Do you Swedes pronunce Jabba as Yappa? :D (just kidding)
