Welcome to Gaia! ::

stel-le-tje
stel - like you'd expect it
le - the e is pronounced like "uh". Only it's shorter, and you don't hear the h.
tje - "tjuh". again the "uh" sound is short.

blad-a-pen
blad - the a is pronounced like in the word "jaw", only shorter
a - like in "jaw". this time not shorter
pen - sort of like "pun"

I'm not telling what it means. xp It's not something really horrible or anything, though, so don't worry. wink


It's kind of hard to explain the pronounciation in English, but I think I managed fairly well. I once spend a lot of time on IRC trying to explain the pronounciation of the word "schaap" (sheep) to someone from some Asian country (don't remember which one. I think it was the Philippines or something). It's especially hard to explain the Dutch g/ch sound to someone who has never heard it. sweatdrop


Hehe... stick around, and I'll teach you to swear like the Dutch in no time. xp

Hello is easy... it's "hallo". As usual, the A is pronounced like in the English word "jaw".

Good morning is "goede morgen".

Goe-de
Goe - The G... like I said it's hard to explain correctly. It's a sharp G sound you make with your throat. My G is a lot softer (and easier on the throat) than usual, because I'm originally from the South of the Netherlands.
de - "duh"

Mor-gen
Mor - Like you'd say it in English. The R may roll a bit.
gen - Again the G... the "en" part is pronounced much like the last part of "gun".

I think the greatest thing is Fifteen in German. It's foonfshtein or something. My grandfather was trying to tell me how to say my age in German, but each time he said "foonfshtein" I started cracking up. Ich bin foonfshtein! HA! xd

sad .. German is that other language I hate.. T.T can't get my tune to do what it needs to do.. gonk

stare what did you say? gonk stressed

Im here do not fear. I am here so dont worry i am not drunk tonight as it is only friday and my computer has to get fixed again.

No no no, you got it wrong, Golem is saying that he loves Cipheralex and wants to have 9 babies with her. Really.

^.^ this time.. I will let you get away with it.. wink thanks.. 3nodding
