I wonder how ypu guys would pronounce names like Janja or Hrvoje

3 Likes

Janja we would pronounce it like you write it, but the y would be in Yes and the first A would be like Armadillo and the second one would be the long A like fantasia

The second one probably:
Her-voy

I should have told you that a combination of nj is pronounced like n in nino (cant write the accent on this keyboard)

That makes sense tho you asked what we would say haha. We would pronounce every single letter. In dutch, there’s no silent letters xd

Which is why I have a lot of trouble with pronouncing some words due to how we were taught to say words

And trying to figure out the second name is a thing because of it too. Her-vo-je would be the more accurate one but that one is just a lump of bleh so then I start thinking of a way to make it sound logic hahaha

I still can’t comprehend how every time we have a poll like this, half are always American and the other half from everywhere else

Like how :sob:

You got it perfect, just with Hur, try to pronounce it so fast that u can’t be heard anymore and roll the r.

Use this as an example

English being your native lingo doesn’t neccessarily mean you’re American
