[QUOTE=sr800bkAGAIN!]chik chik chik.[/QUOTE]Trick question. There is no pronounciation for !!!. Any sound repeated 3 times will do.

Mogwai = Mog-why.

It's like in Gremlins, it's a Japanese word that means "ghost".

It's Chinese, the word is "móguài" or 魔怪.

yes you are

mr_jackalope 10-09-2005 07:04 PM

[QUOTE=Scott Herren]erlend oye[/QUOTE]

Ay-lend oü would be my guess, with the "ay" being like in "way" and and the ü being like that of a French u (an ee with rounded lips).

True story, I always get the two confused.

It's actually Er-lend believe it or not.

you are so wrong it hurts

erlend øye - i think his name is somewhat unpronouncable to you guys.

Scott Herren 10-10-2005 05:45 AM

I am pretty sure it is pronounced oy-e-ay. I know that his first name is pronounced er-lend.

Lydisk 10-10-2005 06:03 AM

i am norwegian.

the first e is pronounced like a Norwegian "Æ" which is halfway between an a and an e
so its Ærlend.

Øye - the Ø is between an o and an e. Øie

Scott Herren 10-10-2005 06:09 AM

well thanks for clearing that up, but what do those actually sound like. you should post a audio clip. I just know when Eirik was talking to him at the KoC concert he was calling him Er-lend. :)

JonM 10-10-2005 09:12 AM

[QUOTE=Scott Herren]b-york[/QUOTE]
I think I read that it actually sounds more like "B-yerk" in the proper accent. But that's how Americans pronounce it, and nobody makes fun of us.

That's why I said it was a guess. One Swedish guy I knew (I know, not exactly Norwegian, but still) said that 'rl' isn't really pronounced like that, but more like a retroflex l. And the guy put o instead of ø, which completely changes everything.

sufjan stevens

is soof-jan or suff-jan?

Wrong. See-ur Roce, and make sure to roll the R, like a Spanish rr. Roce is like race, but with an O.

nope, it's si-ur. The i is like the i in "with".

Killtacular 10-11-2005 07:22 PM

[QUOTE=Kaden]nope, it's si-ur. The i is like the i in "with".[/QUOTE]

That's pretty much the same.

Kaden 10-11-2005 07:26 PM

[QUOTE=Scruples]That's pretty much the same.[/QUOTE]
oh is it? I thought you meant see-ur with the i sounding like the e's in "sleep". Sorry if I misunderstood.

If that is what you meant though, they're different ya hooker.
