OT: Pronounce Martino?

And here I've been saying Eev-suh. Man do I feel stupid!

Namaarie is pronounced Namaarie.....


....just kidding. :) It's really frequently mispronounced.

Nah-mah-ree-eh. 4 syllables. Not nam-uh-ree. That's what I hear a lot and it's wrong. ends with "ay" sound. Flipped "r". It's tolkien elvish.

Can't you cast a spell to get snow for Christmas? ;)
 
Yvsa? your name is "red buffalo?"
My Budo name ( martial arts name) is "Suigyuu" (water buffalo)
su-ee-gyoo
 
Thomas,

Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough elf yet. But you should just see my archery skills! (I wish :) )

Thanks Yvsa, I think it's great that on Christmas night, we're finding out each others real names.
I'm Brian Katz. Pronounced like "cats." As I understand, Katz is a contraction from the Hebrew kohen tzadekim. The kohen, being the tribe of Israel who were the priests in the Temple of Jerusalem. So, I guess if the Temple of Solomon is ever rebuilt, I'm eligible to work there. Boy, do I have a lot of work to do before that happens. ;)
Merry Christmas, happy Hanukah, and have a great Kwanzaa.
Bri in Chi :)

Few people ever asked about pronunciation but when they did my standard answer was "Martini with an O".
