Tro dig inte Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 It's German name, so you pronounce their "w" as "v". Shvaalbeh Indeed! My classmates lastname is Schwalbe, and he always nags about how it´s pronounce! W as V! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 You're just adding letters that aren't even there now!! don't know why but the 'be' just seemed logical at the time to sound like 'ble' or 'bal'..... steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 It's pretty much like the English word vulva , so kinda " Schwahlba " . Great tyres , incidentally : EDIT : Clearly spoken pronounciation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 In German it's pronounced "shfalbe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@ScandinavianTrials Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) In German it's pronounced "shfalbe". One guy from Poland could do what many brits couldn't. Probably has to do with how languages are related...but then again English is part Germanic. First it's "sh" as in sharp. Then it's kind of an f mixed with a v. Then it's "al" as in aluminium. Then it's "be" as in... just only say the b and it should work out fine. edit: wtf, double post within one post...

Mat Well some people say gee-you and other say goo. Personally, I say goo. But Schwalbe isn't spelt Schwable. If it were, your pronunciation would be acceptable, however, you just look retarded.
