Xpress Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Actually, I think it's pronounces GER SLAOO(minimal emphasis on the OO part) ER, with a silent "T". Maurer Sohne. WTF. Is it MA EU UR SO OWN or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejot Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Digging this up instead of starting a new one. ^Maurer Söhne. Söhne, tranlated = "Sons". First word is very close to "Mauer" - like "Mao-er" (like Chinese dude) - except with a slight "rr" at the end of first syllable, so more like "Mao®-er". And then something like "sone-ah" but really more like "zone-ah" and actually with a bit of "T" in there, so like "tzone-ah". And really the "o" is a little funny too, more like "ooh" or "ooh®" If you screw your throat all up and stick it forward it helps a lot. This is just coming from high school German and a couple years in Austria, I never actually heard anyone pronounce it as the company name. Canobie - Just like canopy, but the p becomes a b. CAN-uh-bee. Not Kah-no-bee like Obi-Wan Kenobi. Del Grosso's - Gross is said just like "gross" - starting with emphasized GROW, not GRAH Kemah Boardwalk - Key-muh Liseberg - Liss-ah-berg Krake - krah-kah, vagely like cracker but far more European. Again, screw up the throat. Tusenfryd - little help here? Toosen-fried? Tussen-freed? Toosen-freed? Tussen-fried? Tuh-senfree-d? I vote #3.

ejot Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Conneaut - "Connie - ott" Thus the mascot, Connie the Otter. I'd been mistakenly saying "Coney-ought" :/ How do you say Dania? Danny-uh, Donnie-uh, Don-ya, Dan-ya, Dah-knee-ah ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Being from SoCal, I've always wondered how to pronounce Knoebels. Is it "Kah-no-bowls" or "No-bells" In other words, do you pronounce the "k"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just been thru Pennsylvania this year, and spending several days there, I can help! it's Kah-No-Bells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
