Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 My memory is failing a bit on the pronunciation, but the word is actually spelled fil mjölk or filmjölk. -------------->hey! how did you get your email program to generate the two little umlaut type dots over the " o " ? LOL boy, you programmers are clever! The pronunciation would be close to your guess, it would either be " feel meeyelk " (with the e in yelk being like the e in the french le " or " feel meeyulk " (with the u in yulk being like the german schön). --------->ah, Ok. no english equivalent to german 'schoen' but, maybe something similar to " eewwww " like when something grosses you out. so it would be like " feel meeyeewwwwlk. " but not so drawn out. (guess i can't go around telling people to 'feel my yolk, then! <g>) For the record, I don't and have never been able to speak swedish, but I used to be able to haltingly read Curious in Swedish and successfully retrieve the correct food when requested in swedish. :-) -------->wow...you *are* weird! <VBSEG> unless reading curious george in swedish is one of those weird midwestern rituals...lol Well, i like to be able to pronounce what i eat, so thanks for the mini swedish lesson. for the longest time i used to pronounce " kefir " as " keefur. " then i downloaded the pronunciation from dom's web site and was dismayed to find out it's pronounced " kefeer " accent on second sylable. my former pronunciation became fossilized though, and i still sometimes pronounce it that way. i find that just about everyone else mispronounces it the same way. maybe sally could put a pronunciation guide in the next NT Suze Fisher Web Design & Development http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3shjg/ mailto:s.fisher22@...
