Umlaut a is pronounced as English "a" as in "abc". I wouldnt know how to spell that - aigh ?

Normal a is like "ah".

Umlaut o is "oo" and normal o is "oh".

Umlaut u is like "yoo" and normal u is like "oo".

That is German at least. Basically its a "voiced" vowel. Some examples:

Stefi Graf = just as it looks.
Stefi Gräf = would be like "grafe", to rhyme with the English word "graze" (as in to graze your knee).
ä, ö, ü
Toni Kroos = Pronounced toni krohs
Toni Krös - would be pronounced like toni Kroos (english oo sound like "zoom"). Confusing, yeah. Two letters o besides each other like in "Kroos" has the english sound like "door".

As for ü, it is the most subtle.
Thomas Muller - like mooler.
Thomas Müller - like mYOO-ler.

So Benedikt Höwedes is not pronounced Benedikt how-eh-dis, as it would in English.
its like Hoo-ve-days.

It is, because we called the "Mega Drive" the "Sega Mega", with sega rhyming with "mega". In fact, thats why (I thought) they called it that; because it rhymes.

So the question becomes, how do YOU pronounce "Mega"?
Please dont tell me you say "may-guh". It is "meh-gah".
Sega Mega. Thats what a lot of people in Britain called it

It says "say-gah" but because Americans never had the mega drive they had no point of reference to distinguish the obvious "ay" sound in the opening from the "eh" sound in Meh-gah drive.

I mean seriously, do Americans think the console was called "Seh-gah meh-gah" drive? That repitition of the "eh" sounds retarded. "Say-gah meh-gah" drive sounds much more normal.

[Anonymous No.6466053]

no, because Mega and Sega rhyme.

Meh-ga and say-ga dont rhyme, and that is pointless and gay.
Unless you say "may-gah" for "mega" and then it is you that is the gay one.

>>6465964
good point. Segay? Sega is sort of gay, well, its fanboys are, anyway

[Anonymous No.6466336]

>>6465956
the difference is that the "se" in sega doesn't end in the mouth shape change needed to produce an 'e' sound
'say' has 3 distinct sounds to it (i think they're called phonemes? i might be mistaken), "ss" "eh" "ee". "sega" only uses the first two, and doesn't transition into the last ("ee")
i can see how it could be perceived as a silent "e", especially since "se" alone doesn't mean anything in english, and the "e" sound in "say" can be quite subtle, maybe it's just that your mind really wants to hear the closest familiar word (say)
