puffascruffowitz Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 How about the Arsenal youth player Ilias Chatzitheodoridis? I read it as Ill - ee - ass Chatz-ih-theo-dorr-eeedis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 more fun than fan True. It is so hard to write things "phonetically" without using the actually phonetic alphabet - and on top of that, being Danish, I have to keep in mind how an English-speaker would pronounce the spelling I choose...

jayahr Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Nick-lass Shoe-lay would be my uneducated guess. -> for Niklas Süle The s is soft, like a z in English. The ü does not have any exact match in English. It's pronounced like the u in the French pronunciation of the word 'menu' (if you are more familiar with that) the e at the end is not spoken as broadly as -ay would be. It's rather pronounced like the second a in 'manager'. The first name is like Nicholas without the o hth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Time to wake up this legendary thread. Dutch help needed this time.Ricardo van Rhijn Indy Groothuizen Peter Leeuwenburgh Differing from the first answer: Ricardo fun 'rhine Indy 'Groathuyzen (the 'g' being spoken very smokey, bit like collecting spit from deep in the throat, the r being rolled a lot) Payter 'Laywenburg (that 'g' again..., just a hint of w in there) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ricardo fun 'rhine It is still important to note, though, that the R is not an "English" R. It also has a bit of that "throaty" quality like the G. By the way, I'm kind of amazed that this thread even exists. Why don't people just google the names and find a YouTube video where it's pronounced in the native language? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The r is rolled too and the 'ijn' is also a bit softer than the -ine would be, but I didn't want to overcomplicate things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas_26_7 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Anyone know how to pronounce the Albanian striker for Inter, Ray Manaj? Read online that you are not meant to pronounce the j but not sure how to say it otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Again, YouTube is your friend: Rey pretty much like English "Ray", but with a more Dutch-sounding R (as described above). Manaj with long and a short A, something like "Maa-nai" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
