Martin Necas

Excellent. I will no longer sound like an idiot except for what I say following his name.

What about what you say before his name though?

Usually Martin. Sometimes Marty.

I'm a slightly bit bothered but also slightly bit proud about that no one's even bothering with "Luostarinen". Because you have no ******* hope with getting that one right.

No brotherly love for Haydn & Cale

Too bad we didn't get ALTYBARMAKYAN

Loo-oh-sta-ry-nen.

Lou star in en

Damn, actually kind of close. Except the Lou should turn to the o in "thomas" after the initial "you" vowel.

edir: Perkele. You got it with near-cheating 'oh' addition.

And yet we have to have lived decades with the Timmu Savannah variations despite the guy holding the rookie scoring record and seven Olympic appearances and whatelse.

The Strome brother is falling. Seems like a good 4th pick if still available

 

[Lempo]

Ok. I withdraw everything.

I dunno about that. He's a very bad skater. Not crazy about any of the Strome brothers, though.

Whoops just noticed this is the wrong board. But skating projects seem like good 4th round picks. But yeah the Strome brothers so far are very meh.

Since I'm actually curious...is the way I stress the "oh" and "ree" correct?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Like I said. Spelled like it sounds, right?

The only really tricky one is the Y, which is pronounced like a U. Never could get used to that one.

You know, it's crazy hard for me to think it in this way, because in Finnish the idea is that every letter (=grapheme) always pronounces the exactly same way, and the lenght of the sound is readable from if there is one (short) or two (long) of the same letters. The sounds you have there are right, but I want to insist that "o" and "re" would be closer.

The Finnish alphabet and the IPA alphabet (international pronounciation alphabet) are pretty much the same.

We will call him Lone Star! Since we are nerds

Is perfect. Just try Schwartz the vowels in 'lone' the other way around; the -inen ending is merely a Finnish diminutive ending as is, also used by that role play geek with his Mordenkainen stuff. The old geeks have mined Finnish mythology stuff like the NHL Entry Draft 2017 mines the Liiga.

 

[Lempo]

The only really tricky one is the Y, which is pronounced like a U. Never could get used to that one.

That one's on the Swedes, their u's pronounce like our y's more often than not, plus there's the vowel harmony thing that makes Y the U for Ä and Ö. A, O and U go together, so does Y, Ä and Ö. You never mix. Our kids are made to cry with 'olympia' in the Finnish classes.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Evidently one of the Canes' FO guys had Necas 4th overall in his personal rankings. Needless to say he is excited.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Knee-CHASS.

Except there's no word "Chass" in English.

So if you must use two English words, "knee-CHESS" is probably close enough.

I'm just gonna go with Knee-Chazz.
