Discussion Groups / English Usage / May 2009Amercian pronunication of Heintje?
How do you pronounce this name from Holland: Heintje? Is the American pronunciation. Heen teh gee. Heen teh gee. High teh gee. <--- this is my guess. or Heen t juh. Heintje is a famous Dutch singer known today as Hein Simons. Thank you. >How do you pronounce this name from Holland: Heintje? However the person bearing that name prefers.  SignatureTony Cooper - Orlando, Florida >>How do you pronounce this name from Holland: Heintje? > >However the person bearing that name prefers. The Dutch would pronounce it something like Hayn-tchuh. The 'Hayn' bit would be a combination of Hayn and Hine. The 'tchuh' bit is like 'chuff' without the 'ff'. However, if the bearer wants to pronounce it 'Cholmondeley-Warner', then it's their prerogative. SignatureIan t 'Cholmondeley- Is that pronounced Chumley? >t 'Cholmondeley- > >Is that pronounced Chumley? T'is said that t'is. SignatureIan > >t 'Cholmondeley- > > > >Is that pronounced Chumley? > > > T'is said that t'is. A more-bizarre instance of pronunciation not seeming to match spelling, that I have come across, is: Featherstonehaugh. Scroll down for alleged pronunciation Fanshaw > >How do you pronounce this name from Holland: Heintje? > > However the person bearing that name prefers. Good thing Vincent Van Gogh isn't around to tell us how he prefers his name to be pronounced. Anyone who said it that way would be quarantined for swine flu! Signature"The fox knows many things - the hedgehog, one big one." Archilochus > How do you pronounce this name from Holland: Heintje? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thank you. It is pronounced "Heinte," or "H'aint." |
