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

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. :)

[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.

[QUOTE=Lydisk]you are so wrong it hurts

erlend øye - i think his name is somewhat unpronouncable to you guys.[/QUOTE]

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?

^Soof-yan

[QUOTE=Lydisk]seegoor rose[/QUOTE]

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".

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

That's pretty much the same.

[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.

The way the website mp3 has it, it's pronounced like an ee, as in seek, or sleep.

[QUOTE=Scruples]The way the website mp3 has it, it's pronounced like an ee, as in seek, or sleep.[/QUOTE]
I haven't listened to the mp3, but the website says:
"sigur rós si-ur rose (the i is like the i in "hit". "rose" is said very quickly)"

i as in "hit", that's what it says.

In that context, the two sound almost identical.
