How to pronounce Kjaerhus?

[spaceman]

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

So "ae" is pronounced like "p"?

oh you'r right, I was thinking 'ea'

then I would say 'kjarus'

[morelia]

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!

Looks like we have a winner. Surely you can't beat a native tongue.

My money's on pough, because he has a friend whose mother speaks Icelandic, which to my ear sounds pretty close to Danish....

I say, post your mp3s and let's have a poll. Highest vote wins. Rules:

1. No higher than 128kbits
2. No longer than two minutes (It only should take a second to pronounce, but this rule is for those who tend to drinks a bit).

But then, we still haven't figured out how to pronounce "pough" or what KvR stands for, so ignore this post (as usual).

I think the closest you can come to kjaerhus would be
Lair As in Dragons
air
Kjaerhus

[flugel45]

So best guess is it's pronounced jair-huss (like lair-puss)?

Chjairhus

With Ch as in chaos

U as in fungUs

[pough]

we still haven't figured out how to pronounce "pough"

Yes, we have.

or what KvR stands for

Yes, we have.

so ignore this post (as usual)

Too late!

Danish is a very degenerative version of Icelandic, very degenerative. Old Norweagian comes closer to Icelandic that Danish, I think.

I'm from Denmark so i think i can help here heh heh

To pronounce Kjaerhus you would need to combine stuff from 3 words:

Kill (without the ll)
Yeah
Who's

So that makes Ki->yeah-whos

[Yossarian]

I’m not Danish but I hear Danish spoken often enough and I’d say subSOLID has delivered the best approximation so far.

K’yeah-hoos

Generally tho, what the Danes do to their ”r”:s defies all description.
