I'm starting to get a little paranoid against myself. I just saw myself in your signature but then realized it wasn't about me this time.
:lol:


DA!
Do it. Mod order.


I'm going to bed. There are times when i completely understand the husbands who kill their wifes. I better fall asleep now. Juve about to play in CL and pregnant wife is a very dangerous mixture.

Love you all.
You still have reasons to be relaxed though. Juve about to play in CL and being pregnant would be a much worse condition :D

There is no way to really explain the "KH" sound of the name.


Regarding the harder sounds, reminds me of ze latin version of my frigging name, so used to Osman (living in a country where most cant pronounce it at all), that I dont really think of how its really NOT how you say my name :D

Care to enlighten me?

I would basically say car-ha.
The KH is pronounced like a Scottish loch or a Spanish José.


The J is like a regular English Jack.

How do you pronounce your name? Üthman, Usman, Osman?

Cheers.

I'm impressed that you know the proper way to say 'loch'. I though the rest of the world all pronounced it lock, but maybe that is just the English and Americans.

Iisman or Uusman, though I cant really explain the sound that cames before the U/i. Though I think you know the sound, because I thought you were a kurd or an irani (baladi :p) right? Otherwise, nevermind.

And good example with Loch, its an apt comparing of the KH sound. Quite unusual westerners use a sound like that.

The sound exists in Swedish too so pronouncing it that way is more natural.

Never call me a Kurd again. I don't think we have that sound, but could it be like a Turkish I (the one without dots)?

Where are you from by the way?

I was so proud when I learned how to pronounce Kallstrom properly, but then I wanted to show in front of my friends, during a game once, and everyone laughed at me. They seem to be content with pronouncing it simply "Kalstrom". :frown:

Källström is old news now. Say Bjärsmyr instead. :D

I know, which swedish word uses similar sound to the lochness sound? My blind is blank right now.
Sjuk, skjuta, skön etc. Nearly the same.

Ah ok, its somewhat similar, but it isnt said in the same harsher tone as Lochness or Kharja, who are bit more demanding.

Ok, kurd. If we is persian, I think you have the same sound, just cant explain it linguistically. And yeah, the turks have ze same sound, most of this identical names have identical sounds, mainly originating with arabic (or persian) in one way or another.

I'm from Pirate land.

I will when you'll say Salihamidžić
h = KH
ž = J (French/Portuguese)
ć = CH (Chocolate)

I always thought. Your other variations of C are more demanding however.

Doesn't exist in Persian which is pretty vowel poor, we only have six (o, u, i, e, a, â). I'm pretty sure which sound you're referring to, though.

I always imagined it to be Salihamidżic. Yup, just a regular c on the end, just seems cooler :D But then some names just "sound wrong" that way, like Boksicz. Needs that extra bite.

Btw anyone have any stories about Nedved? I remember one of those computer games he was called Nedvied. Elsewhere I've heard Niedved. But frankly I don't know what it's supposed to be.
