I have the same problem.. are you using a german/ country font or something?

Rackere Diplomatre · Post by **Rackere Diplomatre** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 6:33 pm

It is usual Arial.

Oh and by the way, the ə at the end is spoken.

Also, the r isn't rolled that special. just the german r.

Pronounced BOX?

are you using german/ other language characters?

Rackere Diplomatre · Post by **Rackere Diplomatre** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 6:39 pm

it's not a german character. It's a letter of the international phonetic alphabet. Visit the links next to the letters, can you read those?

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 6:46 pm

Oh great phonetic alphabeth,, no wonder my computer cant read it... it doens't have those chars

Use ENGLISH characters please

Rackere Diplomatre · Post by **Rackere Diplomatre** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 8:22 pm

So, why should my computer show those letters and yours doesn't?

You can also read these: ÄäÖöÜü
THOSE are german letters. And I can't use english since letters in they don't have a set pronunciation... (to wound/ a wound as an example)

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 8:38 pm

Hmm.. i can read the german chars...

True about english... but you could write them as:

Wooned
or

Wowned

and that way the way to be pronounced by understood

Haven't I told you the name contains things english speaking people can't even pronounce? So how shall I find an english description for it?

edit:
I just make a mental note of complex names and reconize the complexity the next time i see you. sometimes i go a little further and start to make up names that fit along lines.

Misjbar = Mis-jib-ar
Moathia = Mothia
and there is a bunch more - but i will spare myself of the hours of writing and end it here.

99% of Chinese people would be able to roll those r's perfectly with no problem at all. This is because 99% can speak the official Chinese language of Mandarin, which has many rolling r sounds. Actually for some of the r sounds in the Chinese language, I think you would be the one who would have trouble pronouncing.

By the way, did you know that Sima is a famous Chinese surname? It means "Minister of War" and it's famous because it was held by the ancient historian Sima Qian and the cunning general Sima Yi.

Misjbar · Post by **Misjbar** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 5:56 am

Misjbar = Mis-jib-ar

Very wrong Ziel. Very, very wrong. Do not ever ever say my beloved characters name like that. EVER.

Zare · Post by **Zare** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 6:43 am

I've always thought of the "misj" part of "Misjbar" to be pronounced like a combination of mish and midge. Am I close?

Devrah Liioness · Post by **Devrah Liioness** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 6:46 am

Bah, no sense keeping it a secret anymore, I've told about 6 people who my other char is, so here's the pronounciation

Rhiannon = REE-ann-on. Kind of obvious, though

WEll, if you guys look through the thread, you will have noticed that the correct pronounciation is OUT there.

Two very different kinds of R's. They somehow seem to be the same, but somehow, there's still some strange reason that a huge percentage of Chinese can only say.... "Oh, I am solly" =D . On the other hand, I am still always laughing when I try to teach non-Chinese people how to pronounce mandarin words that have the mandarin "rrr" sound

.

Chinese lesson

?
For example...
日 - "sun; day (calendar)"
Chinese "PinYin" (Roman letter spelling) - Ri
Actuall pronunciation as close as De'am can try to get it: Like if one was to pronounce "errrm..." (symbolic onomotapoeia on internet of uncertainty), but without the "e" or the "m"

Then there's one of the four vocal inflection of Mandarin that you have to put into it, which I won't even begin to explain XD .

Solly zat is not I can help

.

(Did I ever mention I'm really, really glad I didn't learned to speak English the way my parents pronounce it? -_-;; Though it's always hilarious listening to my father trying to pronounce "southern". I'm so mean (^^). )
