Hmmm..... good question.

I always pronounced it "kyowerhouse" (rhymes with powerhouse), but now that I actually look at the spelling, I know that's totally wrong

Kyaerhoos

ae being short 'e' not 'ee'

cron · Post by **cron** » Sat Aug 07, 2004 11:56 pm

That's roughly how I'd say it upon actually looking at the spelling closely.

Kyaerhooz (the aer pronounced the same as "air")

I always pronounced it Zharehuss. As in Zhare sounds like Share but instead of the Sh sound it is Zh and huss as in puss like pussycat.

Hmm, yeah. I'm tempted to revise my hooz to a huss now. Though I stand by my kyair

It´s pronounced like Kjärhus, but in Danish (I think)

Take the word "lap", and remove l+a and you got the "ae" or "ä" sound.

Huss is correct but with only one s so it´s elongated "huus" the "u" is like the the u in "puss" as already mentioned.

Not shure if the Kj is "Sh" or actually "Kj"

But who would like to buy a "lazy" harddrive!?

Really dumb name

The "Kjaer" part is pronounced like "care" (but with the 'j') and Mindless is correct about the elongated u in "huus".

The beforementioned [Kyaer:hoos] comes close enough.

and I'm danish...

...so I should know!

i can't pronounce it

but i can translate it

in english, Kjaerhus roughly translates into a very interesting phrase, rather than a single word

it means "Best plugs ever - f*ck you Waves"

pretty cool, huh

spaceman · Post by **spaceman** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 1:38 am

I would say

kjerus

with the 'j' sounding like the beginning of 'u'

So "ae" is pronounced like "p"?

How to pronounce Kjaerhus?
