Pronounciation

[Darth Thrakhath]

I just have to ask, how do you pronounce Mjollnir and Etienne?

 

[FlamingLlama]

I'm not sure but...

mjolnir:
mniol-nir

eitienne:

ey-tienne

i think

[t.c.cgi]

I'm not sure myself, but I'd think that...

Mjollnir - myol near

Etienne - Etty anne (I swear I heard it pronounced in a movie or something...)

That should be roughly accurate. Just remember the one hard and fast rule of Scandinavian pronunciation. 'J' is pronouced as if it were an English 'Y'.

I've never had problems to pronounce "Etienne" (from Etienne MontClair ?)

Etienne -> something like et-ti-hen
John

I'm thinking that the first letters of both are silent, since "mj" isnt really pronouncable.

So, I would assume that Doomsday's name is "T-N", or in other words, those two letters.

And what about Landreich? Is it a "c-h" sound or a "k" sound.

LandrieCH
or
LandrieK

Ok... I'll make it really simple...

eh-tee-en
me-YOLL-near

Landreich is a hard 'ch', which is almost a k sound... but not quite...
