Nabil Khcharem and one that my friend had trouble with was.... wait for it.... Bogdan Stancu! Hmmm I'd say "nab-eel keh-char-em" and (obviously) "Bog-dan Stan-Choo". Listening to Motty in the Euro's though I'm sure there's hundreds of pronunciations! "Villa.....Viyya.....Villya"??

Sampa Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Balazs Dzsudzsak I don't actually know but after from hearing it (before they found their pronunciation) I pronounced it as: Ba-laz Dzud-zshak I can't explain the latter part of the name with letters but I pronounce it like "shack" but more z like. Kinda like a Spanish J on Jack sound. Lol. dnt really have 1 for anyone else... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyewackett Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm sure it's closer to "Clan Gef Knee" but I've a feeling the Welshmen around here will correct me Never been there myself. However I am an English speaking Welshman. So I would presume its... "Llangefni" = Llan - Geff - Nie The LL is pronounced like a held, spitting sort of sound. That would cut off, I have family in Llanelli, so I am familiar with the pronunciation of the LL sound. So I would assume that's how one would pronounce that town. Though from my Welsh lessons I'm sure that a singular 'f' sounds like an 'English' 'V' sound. Hmmm. To be honest your not far off to be honest.
