Excellent use of the smilie (Y). Also the use of 'made me laugh out loud my pants'. As Brick Tamlin would say, "I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.".

HAHA I love lamp. Quality Dave.

Not sure how I say it really, think I normally say "sh-war-bell" but thats becuase I cant read it properly

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! :giggle:

W as V!

It's pretty much like the English word

vulva

, so kinda " Schwahlba " . Great tyres , incidentally :

Clearly spoken pronunciation

In German it's pronounced "shfalbe".

All correct. Having done german at GCSE and asking the teacher then i've always said it correctly, the same as the voice clip above and in the form of:

Shh-vul-buh

I don't know why people are still putting down random answers. I did laugh when i first saw people writing "shwabel" and the such with the L pronunciated last. Thats just a poor ability to read the arrangement of letters :lol:

Shwalb

and I say GU as goo.

I've heard 3 different pronunciations of Czar. I say it khzaa, I know a guy who calls it Caesar, and another who just says zaar.

Czar is easy, its a silent C so your friend is right in it being pronounced Zaar. Just like the vodka brand. But its often given a t slightly in front depending on dialect and accent.

sh-wal-b...something like that.

Maybe we should have a poll on this.

We could then effectively change the pronunciation of this company if the winning one isnt the correct one.

Mat

WTF? English anyone? After three reads i got it. Ignore me...slightly retarded!

I say Tsar, like the Russian leaders :)

Agreed.

(Y)
