Nee-chee

That's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced.

Well, clearly you must have heard me and can now repeat it.

this is how most people think it's pronounced, unfortunately it's wrong
In academia, it's neechuh. 2nd response is correct response

I usually say
"Nee-Chee"
It annoys my philosophy professors.

Germanfag reporting in, these people are correct.
Some will try to make the z audible, so they go and say neets-chuh, but neechu is fine, too.
Ignore the consonant salad, it's mostly ornamental.

How do you pronounce Goethe without sounding like an idiot?

>> No.1364348

>>1364335
you pronounce it like "gertie," the shortened form of the name Gertrude

You know, +2 internets for not being a prick. Just, good job.

I've had dreams about being in gym class with no pants and English class with no way to say Goethe.

The German ö can not really be written out for an Anglophone to pronounce.

>> No.1364361

>>1364348
Really? I've always heard it as more of like a "Gurt-uh." More of an A than an E on the end, I mean.

>> No.1364362

There's no R in Goethe.

It doesn't matter how you pronounce it as long as it's not Go-eth.

Guuh-tuh. Although "uu" is not really an adequate substitute for knowing how to pronounce ö.

There's sounds that come pretty close to ö/oe, though.
The vowel in worth, earth etc. is close enough for someone who doesn't know the language in the first place. Just leave out the r following it and you're fine.

Oh, and don't pronounce the th in Goethe like the th in "that", it's just a normal t.
