Niko Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=hH6nQhss4Yc Let them come to Berlin !! great, i was right! nice how he pronounces berlin in the german portion in a way that you can really hear it comes from (the (very similar) german word for) "bear" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 slightly off topic, i need to write a letter to someone's secretary... is "Tracey" a female or male name (or more accurately, can i safely assume it is female... it is a person in england) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swinging Swede Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Sandy Brown was a male jazz musician, and I've heard Randy for a female. And then there's Stan Tracey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Tete Montoliu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Tete Montoliu? easy one, just phonetically, but without english accent (latin accent wouldn't be all that wrong... Italian or Spanish even better...) sorry, but that's not an easy one to transcribe... I thought about it for a while now... and no, T-ay-t-ay is wrong, it's just Tete, no double vowels, and the T is short/voiceless, not hard/accented. Mon is as in monastery or monster, only with actually the other "o" (as in "saw", I think), not the one going towards "a", but the "pure" one. Same for the second "o" (or similar), the "l" is heard, and "iu" is like "you", but the stress is on the end, on the "u". Really difficult, sorry! Maybe someone can do better!

umum_cypher Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 slightly off topic, i need to write a letter to someone's secretary... is "Tracey" a female or male name (or more accurately, can i safely assume it is female... it is a person in england) Female, very much so. Which is why it's so funny that gangsta rapper Ice-T's real name is Tracy. I suppose that's the 'T'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Female a safe assumption - although like in the US, it's not unheard of as a male name. Casey, Randy - either way (although neither is particularly common). Sandy is very commonly male over here, especially in Scotland - it's a variant of 'Alexander'.

tkeith Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 No takers on Johnny Dyani, eh? I recall reading somewhere (damned if I can remember where) that the Dy makes a J sound, something akin to Johnny Jah knee This sound right, or am I high?

tkeith Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks. I did some searching and found an article where Dennis Gonzalez was discussing Johnny, so I e-mailed him and asked him. He says: Keith Knox, who runs Silkheart, always told me that they called Dyani "Jawnnie Johnnie" in the South African accent. So, another one solved. Also, I noticed on the WWUH website that they say Charlie COAL hace... to the best of my knowledge, it's COAL haze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
