It's cam-yoo with stress on the 2nd syllable

>> No.9174904

>>9174811
Yoo isn't a precise enough phonetic spelling to be helpful. I can see what you are getting at but it's too easy to read it different. I always told people it was Cæ-mew, with the ew sounding like the ew sound in stew except more nasally.

>>9174904
It's not nasal at al. It's just Kamü.

>> No.9174927

>>9174082

Paradise lost is tl:dr

It isn't though. This >>9174750 is closer, but it still isn't it. I don't think Americans can ever pronounce it. Same with Soeren Kierkegaard. The oe sound (can't format the real letter on 4chan) simply doesn't exist in english. Neither does the O in Schopenhauer. English speakers can't say an O without turning it into an "ow".

As for OP, I dug up some of the correspondences between Nietzsche and Strindberg and read them. I realized they were quite similar in their outlooks, but not the extent. Both have been raised by Schopenhauer as well, something that is especially evident in the fiction of Strindberg.
