You should also say that I am very clueless!

I had found that About.com thing before, but the audios never loaded for me, on my old comp OR this one.

Well actually the eu in Demeulemeester is not pronounced like me or mu.....it's a combination of letters that is only used that way in the Dutch language and it is very very hard to explain...

[snapback]313398[/snapback]

Soo... is it like the Scandinavian ö/ø and/or sort of like a French œ?

Sort of like Deh-möh-leh-mayster? Duh-mœh-luh-master?

I'm sorry, the explanations simply confuse me...

Well, whaddayaknow... So it is like Deh-möh-leh-mayster... (I'm mixing languages in my pronounciation spell-out, though... Sorry!)

Thanks! I usually don't have a problem with pronounciations in any language but Dutch... How is it that two "ee" are pronounced as "ei"? Guess you just have to know it!

**Mr-Dale** · 24-07-2004

Hehehehe, yeah it's a weird language...we have all sorts of combinations that only we use, like the eu, ui, ij, ei, ee, ou, au, oei, aai, eeuw, ieuw, ooi, and probably some more too :P But according to Encarta, Dutch is the language that is most similar to English and it's dialects....hmmmm........

tott · 24-07-2004

Yeah, languages are more or less strange with all their "sounds"; hardly anyone I met outside of Scandinavia can pronounce my name... I think Lena did a very good job though!

I'm moving to Germany next week, that'll be a challenge...

NOOO!!! Really??? I was way off the mark

metal-on-metal · 29-07-2004

Lena,

I was under the impression that Rochas was "roash" (like roach but with an 's') and a quick "ahs".

ROASHAHS!

I don't know if that makes sense.

Lena · 29-07-2004

as far as i know, the S does not get pronouced at the end of Rochas ,
so actually it is RochA.. with tonic accent on A

ch= heavy= SH
