Pronunciation?

You folks with first-hand knowledge, stay out of this one, OK

For those of you who have only read Jims last name, but never heard it spoken, how would you pronounce it?

 

Rhymes with Sweezy?

Like George and Weise?o No:

 

Jim Cheesy ??? that rhymes with Sweezy ou:

 

Jim is Easy?

 

Weise...vaysay

 

I'm guessing it's German, in which case it would be "vize-uh"


o No:

 

Cory, ist Schon Richtig.... (edited for Erik)

entschuldigen Sie mich, den ich nicht das Umlaute bilden kann

 

vaiz (ended with an unside down e). An upside down e is a long E...

Weise =wise (now I don't mean to give anyone a big head):laugh:

 

Patrick "Sweezy" drove a '65 Riv in the movie Roadhouse.....:Smarty:

Do I win a price now :beer :beer :beer ?

 

I reckon you meant richtig....o No: ?

You were thinking Du hast recht, and that is indeed spelled with an e :Smarty:

 

haha good one erik

 

I updated it for you Erik is that better.

 

Phil

Wieso?

SCHN

 

Smith

 

Wow, solved that one.... ou:

 

Since we're being picky German linguists, shouldn't it be "denn"?

 

Yes I can not make the Symbols on the computer. but I stated in german excuse me I cannot make these:

entschuldigen Sie mich, den ich nicht das Umlaute bilden kann

Also I cannot make the upside down e (long e)

 

Yep,

But I shouldn't use denn in that sentence at all.

 

I said it correctly. I was taught most of my german in Bavaria so there is some things that will be diffrent between Hochdeutsch and Bavarian Deutche.

 

Freistatt Bayern :beer :beer :beer :beer :beer
