I STILL don't know the exact pronounciation of Ibiza
Is it EYE-bee-ZA or EEE-bee-ZA?

actually i THINK its 'ibitha'

like the z is pronounced with a TH like... wiTH

Yeah, it's EE-bee-THA. Lange would be pronounced with a soft G, but without the emphasis on the E at the end. It shouldn't rhyme with bungee, that radio jock must've been cracked or something.

I believe Ibiza is pronounced

EEEEE-bEEEEE-zaaahhhhhh

lol...i watch wild on with brooke burke wayyyy too much

Ok, what about Neve Cambpell? Her first name, is it Neeve or Nev?

Ibiza:

Pronounced EE-BEE-za or EE-BITZ-ah if you're a liguistically uneducated American or English bloke.

The proper and native way to pronounce it is as you would in Castillian Spanish: EE-BEE-tha. You have to pronounce the Z as 'TH' and hiss slightly with your tongue against your top teeth.

Not sure about the other pronunciations, but I know this because I took a few years of Spanish and have been to the country twice. Sadly not to Ibiza, but to the mainland.

Benno de Goeij..

Is it Go-E or Go-I? The J is silent of course, right?

LOL this one i know because i talked with Benno thru emails last year a couple times...so i asked him

Benno HIMSELF said his last name would soud like the word GOOEY, like if something is gooey...like gum or something of the sort...

but of course with a B and not a G...

how do you pronounce Lange? hard g soft g? dunno. :P

There's a footballer down here with the same surname, and his is pronounced "Lang" (hard G). Dunno if this Lange pronounces his name the same way though.

I've always said Lange as LAHNGE, in sort of a French pronunciation. It sounds more chilled that way, which mirrors his type of productions.

I like to see if the English speaking people knows how to pronounce my last name: Knudsen

tsk tsk, here's some help:

Dumonde = Doo - mon - day (mon as in pokemon) Thats how De Leon said it when I interviewed him.

Flutlicht = Floot (like foot, keep the oo short) - liggt
This is difficult to explain, coz the english langauge doesnt have a sound to describe the 'ggt' I mean. dutch/german/afrikaans have the sound (thats how I know, I can speak afrikaans) its kinda like the sound you get when you scratch cardboard.

Lange = Lange (as in KD Lange) - a

Hope that helps

I thought Dumonde Trancer would be 100% correct on that one. Oh well!

its just hard to explain how do u spell the german letter �

@Krootn
its like u say SHit now take the SH..
u say SHHH if u want a crowd to be quit, like i teacher does to his 8years old: "SHHHHH be quit now!"

so this SH without the S

Nice explanatiob Bloodflower
now picture that 'shhh' sound with a 'g' instead of 's', kinda

okay, a few clear ups

Ibiza

uk people mostly say it eye-beef-ah

Lange

said : like the the first part of banjo, i.e. banj said in the same way as banjo. then replace with lange.

Dumonde is def : Du-mon-d but if u say with French accent its said almost without the d like Du-mon with a slight d sound :S

HA! i was always pronouncing "Dumonde" like the way Kr00t0n said...like "Doo-mon-day" but i was corrected a few times and told it is "doo-mond". i guess i was right

and as for Tijs Verwest i am like 99.9% sure it's pronounced "Tice" (rhymes w/ dice) or "Ties" (pronounced exactly how it's spelled). i read in a article (interview actually) that he has a nickname..he said his friends call him "ties". so maybe that is just to mock his first name sounding like "Tice"...arghh who knows...i say it like "Tice".

also what's up w/ the "e" in Chicane...is it like "Chi-kan-ay" or is it pronounced literally like it's spelled w/ a long "a" in the second syllable?? like "Chi-cane" (second part rhyming with Jane).

k and one more...Johan Gielen. is it like "Yo-hon" or "Joe-hon" and is Geilen like "Gee-len"? (the g sound being the same as in the word guy) i always said, "Yo-hon Gee-len"...

great thread btw...i have always questioned whether i was pronouncing the names correctly or not....

It's Yo-hon Hee-len.


I can't believe it's "Due Monday",




And about Flutlicht, isn't the "ch" just an "h" sound as in "ha"??
It's german.
