weeeman27bob Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ever wondered how to say your best regen's name? Ever wanted to know if you're saying your players' names right? If so this is the thread for you. I'll start us off with two players from my Liverpool team. Miralem Pjanic ( Bosnian and Herzegovinian) and César Azpilicueta (Spanish) Can someone with the correct knowledge help me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfpunk Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 César Azpilicueta - See-zar As-pill-i-soot-a. I only know that because he was playing in the Rep. of Ireland 21's - Spain 21's game that was on sky last night and thats how the commentator pronouced it. Looks like a decent player aswell Edit:- Saying that though, commentators are the greatest at pronoucing names.......Dirk Kueiyt anyone!!!!????

arsenal_2111 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I loved this thread last time it was about, here. Should warn that it contains player names though, in the title. Sounds obvious, but some people won't click. A few I don't know how to say are; Henri Saivet, Bordeux, French Gaetano Milazzo, Regen, Italian Marco Guerini, Regen, Italian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the majority of threads in here contain names. But anyway thats for another place. Miralem Pjanic .... is he a regen?? cause i have him too?? No, he's real.

ScouseFromTheSouth Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 http://text-to-speech.imtranslator.net/speech.aspCésar Azpilicueta - type his name in the text field and select Spanish from the drop down box.

I've tried it and theres no way I could explain how to say his name! Cheers for this link! As for César Azpilicueta, he is Spanish, not Latin American.

juve_curr Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Villalta (Peruvian) Celsinho (Brazilian) Is it "Sell", "Chell" or "Kell"? Grosjean (French) Bojan Krkić (Serbian name) Cr-sich? Ker-citch? I'd also like to point out that in the Irish name Keogh the "eogh" is pronounced "yo", not "e-o" and Fahey is pronounced "Fah-hee". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Norwergian but not very good expressing names phonetically but I'll give it a shot: Rei as in RAIn, dar as in raDAR, so very close to how you say the English word radar but not quite. For the last name, you actually say "nj" but say it so the two letters flows into eachother... or something. the o is pronounced as the o in rob or cod. ten is just pronounced like the number ten in English.
