Words Nobody Knows How to Pronounce

<p>You know those words, usually names actually, like</p>

<p>Averro</p>

<p>You can use the sound button to hear it correctly pronounced.</p>

<p>lol that’s actually extremely useful</p>

<p>My last name but it’s not a word. Where is there a sound button?</p>

<p>if you go to dictionary.com they have one, and a pronunciation key that doesn’t include upside down letters and weird zh combined characters</p>

<p>Oh I thought you meant on here lol.</p>

<p>Christiaan Huygens and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.</p>

<p>Took me 10 minutes to learn how to pronounce those (I’m not Dutch).</p>

<p>schadenfreude</p>

<p>^that looks pretty easy.
not as hard as.</p>

<p>sdlkklfjOIXICOVNWOVNVIVNIVOVSFKLRYUOCXCBBBVKLLMVJWOSOIUPIGKLJ:X:G.</p>

<p>Hyperbole.</p>

<p>^that is easy high-per-bowl-ee
Schadenfreude: Shah-din-froid-uh
Sartre: Sar-truh</p>

<p>^Shutup you didn’t know</p>

<p>^^^^ omg I can’t even spell that word o_O</p>

<p>^^ lol I’ve heard it pronounced so many different ways. I feel like it should be Frenchified so that you swallow both Rs and that the e on the end is very light.
Actually, you already cleaned up Cimabue for me, which I thought might have the ch sounding c like in Cello but is more intuitive than I thought</p>

<p>^ now now futurexec :b</p>

<p>^^Um…? YesIDid?CalmYourTits?
I will admit, I screwed up Cimabue, damn italians.</p>

<p>wait does it have the stupid cello c thing??? :open_mouth: omg >:O</p>

<p>I remember someone telling you it did.</p>

<p>Where’s Millan!? She said she took art history! %D</p>

<p>Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis</p>

<p>looks easy until the end.</p>

<p>most say “volcano-coh-nee-o-sis” or atleast i did
its really “volcano-coh-nye-o-sis”</p>

<p>This is the word my class was supposed to remember for 5th grade spelling test. Haven’t forgotten it for 7 years so far :P</p>

<p>Puyallup, Sequim, Enumclaw, Issaquah, Sammamish</p>

<p>(These are all cities in my area. The best part is getting one of those talking GPS things and listening to it fail)</p>

<p>Also, I work in an italian restaurant, and it kills me every time I hear the brutal mispronunciations of “Gnocchi”</p>

<p>^^^Sorry for not being around. Cimabue definitely starts with a cello-ish “ch” sound.</p>

<p>Chee-ma-boo-ay</p>

<p>IPA exists for just this reason.</p>

<p>A lot of people can’t handle Laocoon.</p>
