slipknot67 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Since I signed him on FM12 I've been wondering about the first name of Wozciech Szczezny. I think his surname is like si-chez-ni-yi but not sure about his first name, I'd guess it's something like voz-ki-etch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimbobWWFC Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 For his surname, put the 'sh' and 'ch' sound straight after each other ('ch' as in chess). In Polish it is spelled with the letter E like this: Szczęsny which changes the pronunciation of the E slightly. Wojciech is just voy-czech Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeedieZ Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Wojciech: http://www.forvo.com/word/wojciech/, you can also say "Voytek" (Wojtek), which is a shorter version of Wojciech. Adrian Cieslewicz: First take the word "cieśla" (http://www.forvo.com/word/cieśla/#pl) and change its last letter to "e", like the "e" in Wojciech. Cieśla(e)-vytch Ask if you want to know any other Polish names Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 There's a Swedish player for Panathinaikos called Matthias Bjarsmyr. The "a" has two dots above it, but as I have a laptop, I can't figure out how to get one of those to appear. How would this be pronounced? I've been saying "Byerz-meer".

Mike7077 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That's a Madagascan name. The capital city is Antananarivo. Think Malagasy would be a fantastic language to learn.

LiquidFury Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi all, would like to know how do I pronounce André Schürrle? He is a German. Thanks. Schoo-rluh is a close approximation. The ü is pretty hard to pronounce correctly if you don't speak german. It's like a double o sound, but with more lip rounding. Also, unlike english, the e on the end is not silent, so there has to be a schwa on the end, which is like the 'er' in sister or poster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koki Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi all, would like to know how do I pronounce André Schürrle? He is a German. Thanks. For those who can read IPA: [ʃy:rlə] (don't emphasise the y) or [ʃɜ:rlə] For all the others: Sher-le comes quite close. Sher (like in Sherman) and le (the e like in 'the').

RBKalle Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 * Bjärsmyr: the "ä" sound is very open before an "r", while r+s becomes "sh", and the "y" is similar to the "u" in "muir". So I'd transliterate it as "BJAESH-mur" * Kjæve: that depends on the local dialect... In standard Norwegian the "kj" sound is similar to German "ch" [and Scottish "ch" too?] but longer. However it can be pronounced with "ch" (as in "cheese") or any other "ch"-ish in between... The IPA symbol is "ç" "æ", much like the aforementioned "ä" is a very open "a" sound, as in "cat" (American cat...) Basically like that (the bottom one is better IMO), but with "v" instead of "r". Or "CHAE-ve"... depending on where you are. P.S. The "å" sound in Håkon is the open "o" [reversed C in IPA] as in "bore" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon3 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thor-ir Aw-dal-steinsson The 'ð' is pronounced just like the 'th' in 'the', so Aðalsteinsson would be more like A-th-al-steins-son where the 'th' is the soft 'th' from 'the'. EDIT: Just noticed RBKalle's post, he actually explains is pretty well. I couldn't find a good English word to explain "stein" in "steinsson", but he explained it pretty well.

Lawlore Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I had a friend with this surname, born in England to Pakistani parents.
