hey cotton duck

[ProfMonnitoff]

whats the right way to pronounce demeulemeester? i just pronounce it as if it was a german word, but i think thats pretty wrong.

and since i already made this thread, what about the ei in beirendonck? like the german ei or more of an ey sound?

thanks, money tuff

in german is ee a long e?

[ProfMonnitoff]

yeah it pretty much demands a youtube video because translating belgian pronunciation into english isn't that easy

[Liberation1945]

i thought it was dehmyoolmeester

[Tob]

why not just tell them the proper answer?

Because the sound for 'EU' does not exist in english, its pretty hard to explain. But in french its all over, so if you know how j'ai eu (i've had) or deux sounds, then you know the m-eu-lemeester sound. and the ee from meester sounds like hey (as guessed before).

Alfo, af foon af I have a new laptop with webcam but thif fhould be within thif week...
