Chris2509 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Both the "ai" and the "ei" are pronounced like "eye" (ai also gets this sound in transliterations from many Asian names, e.g. Shanghai, Dubai; "Nein" (no) is pronounce like "nine")So it's roughly Rr(eye)nairr M(eye)airr - the "er" at the end of each name is not a schwa-like "uh" like in English (burger) but actually treated as a proper 'e' and 'r' sound, more similar to "air" or "berry". German Rs get rolled unlike the weak English R, so I've put in two Rs for emphasis... Don't overdo it, but make sure you avoid the English "wr" sound that it the typical English R. "er" is always pronouned as "uh" in German. It would be more like R-eye-na M-eye-a Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The third person masculine (er) is definitely not pronounced "uh", I'm not sure where you've got that from. Berger, for example, is not pronounced burger; that's just how the British commentators pronounce it... The tranlisteration you posted with 'a' at the end is closer - R(eye)na Maya (like the civilization), assuming you pronounce an 'a' like an 'a' and not like 'ae' (depends on where you are from). The final 'r' does sometimes get lost in the pronunciation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brightonrock Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mounier prounciation is probably best described as 'moo-nyay'. With the 'ay' as in 'play' in English. Not quite right, though close enough for simplicity. Here is the proper way to say it: http://fr.forvo.com/word/emmanuel_mounier/ I always thought it was Ike (As in bike)-rem. The Ei- in Eikrem pronounced like the english a in "lady". The -krem part is pronounced like the french "creme" ... as in creme anglais (custard) But with a more rolling R. And the Wolff is better pronounced like a german would pronounce wolf, not like the english wolf. Think of the sound the oa would make in a english word like "board". But shorter. Both the "ai" and the "ei" are pronounced like "eye" (ai also gets this sound in transliterations from many Asian names, e.g. Shanghai, Dubai; "Nein" (no) is pronounce like "nine")So it's roughly Rr(eye)nairr M(eye)airr - the "er" at the end of each name is not a schwa-like "uh" like in English (burger) but actually treated as a proper 'e' and 'r' sound, more similar to "air" or "berry".

thomit Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 i always known it as Ay as in play then Yew. Ay-yew, heard french commentators and english ones call him that. Well, english commentators would pronounce it that way, wouldn't they (The letter A pronounced in english as "ay", while most other languages, including french, would pronounce the letter A as "ah", more or less ... anyway, I'm sure there's room for different pronounciations depending on whether you're english, french, or ghanaian (the latter being Ayew's origins, allthough born in France). I got my info from here. The name is of the Akan language, so neither english nor french. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBKalle Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just taken over fiorentina and cant help but wonder how I pronounce Adem Ljajic's surname? The "Lj" sound is difficult to explain...To English ears the closest thing is the "-lli-" sound in "million", but with less emphasis on the "l" sound I'd even go for an "l-less" version as Ya-itch... I have a Spanish (Basque) youngster called Ivan Ormaetxea. I've been pronouncing it "Orm-AX-ya". Anyone know if that's right??? Or-mah-eh-CHE (as in "chess", but with a closer "e" sound)-ah Wolff Eikrem Both the ay-/eye- pronounciations are good for the "Ei" part of the name.

pret Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It's fair to say I've had my fair share of issues with this game, but one of my Greek regens is called 'Charalabos Tsoulias', so I've been going along with something like 'cha-RAH-bah-los 'SOO-lee-ass'.
