The D in gurda should sound more like a hard T because it's german pronunciation, but yes you are correct.

Yeah, and I'd like to see you Americans trying to pronounce a Norwegian rolled R.
You won't be able to do that either.
>>472011
Wrong faggot. Cunt was way closer. In German: single vowel without h = short vowel
>>472498
It sounds way closer to Kahnt than Cunt for my ears.
But I guess for an American it does sound like Cunt, you guys being vulgar mutts and all.
>>471712
I use to pronounce it as "KNEE-ESH"

This reminds me of the people who add an "r' sound to names like Goebbels and Goethe for some odd reason. Like, it's "Guh-bels" and "Guh-tuh", it's not that hard people.

Actual german here
Amerilards can't into ch or sch so it's hard to describe it, also ä, ö ü are used even if not written
Nietzsche would be like NEETchä(short ae or babby tier Neetche)
Kant is indeed Cunt
Goethe is Is Ghötä(short ae)
Godel is Gohdl
Russell= Rustle
This is easy for Germans who aren't ignorant and actually speak English well.
John Maynard Kain(s) like Kain from the bible.
Anything else you faggots need? I also take french requests parce que je suis un person qui parle plus de deux langages.
I've always used this as a reference on how to pronounce the names.

heh
To this day I have no idea why the k is silent in "knight" or "knuckle".
>>472507
Go home you degenerate i am german
>Soren Kierkegaard
Sawrehn Keerkehgard?
>>474860
They used to be pronounced but they were so awkward that people started leaving them out, and now they are only there to make sure the rest of the pronounciation is accurate
>>474860
knight used to be pronounced knicht, like the german nicht with a k added in front.
>>474952
The o is supposed to have a Lone going through it and produce a sound like the german umlaut o, which anglos just plainly can't pronounce to save their lives. The gaard is closer to being pronounced like gor than gar. Chance are it'll still sound off if you're an anglo because English is so smooth compared to Danish which is relatively harsh.
>>474490
Do squirrel, sil vous plais, monsieur anonomousse.
>>474952
I've always said Sören Kirkegård because fuck Denmark.
My bulgarian history teacher used to pronounce luftwaff 'loo-fie-eff'
>>474952
Sir-ehn Keerkehgoh.
>>474994
English knight and German knecht have the same origin.
>>474760
pretty much correct, maybe cut the w, the hitlah is more hitla, because its not a long a at the end.
>>475143
the point is that amerilards can only think and use their own alphabet, therefore people who know how to pronounce words have to paraphrase it for them
>>475143
>/ˈniːtʃə/.
This is Nee-chuh though.
>>475153
That's the correct pronunciation.
>>475140
Funnily, the word knecht means the exact same thing in dutch.
>>474490
>Goethe
I've always heard it's Ger-tah.
>>475168
no it isnt you faggot.
>>475192
It actually is.
>>475198
go to google translate and use english to german, then type nietzsche in the english field, listen to the german "translation" it butchers the sch a bit but the last vowel is correct
you can check everything this way, its usually correct
>>475176
not very surprising, those are old words and they havent lost their meaning and I assume the german tongue and dutch have been pretty steady
>>475201

lel
>>474952
Sue-ren Caker-gard.
>>475204
>and I assume the german tongue and dutch have been pretty steady
dutchfag here, dutch has changed significantly over the years, to the point where the majority can't read old dutch or middle dutch anymore.
I think in highschool we discussed fragments of "Van den vos Reynaerde" and without a fair amount of annotations it's just unreadable.
>>475176
I always associated the german/dutch Ridder/Ritter (Rider) with those people's equivalent of knight in the English sense, since knights were almost invariably seen as mounted. Maybe it's just how the words evolved in the face of differing experiences of warfare.
The Germans and Dutch may have seen the knecht as a footsoldier fighting within formation whereas the English saw him merge with 'chevalier', I.e. a mounted soldier.
Or maybe I'm talking out of my arse.
>>474490
>un person
it's 'une personne' regardless of gender.
>>475258
It just depends on the context. The old German word for a mercenary was "Landsknecht" which means basically "land servant"
>>475205
I'm german you faggot, if it sounded wrong I would not recommend it.
