Any Dutchmen on here?

 

How do you pronounce "Van Den Nieuwenhuijzen"?

 

Van Den New-en-how-sen

Sorry to be a pedant, but shouldn't it be?

Van Den New-en-high-zen

That's the problem with VT. One question brings different answers ;)

 

It's kind of between the two... Dutch isn't the easiest to type phonetically as it uses a lot of unusual sounds. Like a G sound is more like an H sound in English but really its more like the noise you might make clearing your throat.

The quiz show QI got a Dutch person to pronounce Vincent Van Gogh. In all the times I'd heard it pronounced by non-Dutch shpeakers, I'd never heard it pronounced that way :)

I'm kind of proud that even though I am desperate for a car I haven't given in to the BS deals they keep trying to throw at me. But it's starting to get to me. I want a car. I found a dealership a few cities away thats willing to give me a fairly good deal. So I'm going to show that deal to a dealership here. See if they will give me something better. But I really am getting worn down. I neeeeeeeed a car. Just hope I do a good job with this deal making stuff. *fingers crossed*
