the mac isn't really silent, btw.
haha i believed you for 30 seconds and was thinking of all the macs in my family and wondering why they would have started pronouncing them after they got of the boat or something ^_^

Sometimes I say "horrible" but that's as saucy as I get.

i always assumed a variation of 'horrible' with maybe a southern US accent tbh.

Since it's supposed to be short for "Hoosteen", I say it the proper way, i.e. "haws".
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:02 (fourteen years ago) link
explain?
― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:15 (fourteen years ago) link
In countries were Hoosteen is a common name the "Hoos" part is pronounced "haws", or something close to it. Certainly not "h-ews" or "h-uice".
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:18 (fourteen years ago) link
oh i didn't know it was a real name! i think we figured on some other thread it translated to faucet-diamond or something in dutch
― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:21 (fourteen years ago) link
well that would be if it was big faucet aka the diamond-driver because there's only one s in the middle otherwise

here it is hoos international
― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:23 (fourteen years ago) link
it is pronounced Ga-ear Herngru fwiw

Similarly, I wouldn't pronounce "Dom Passantino" the way English-speakers do, rather than the Italian way (or, rather, my approximation of Italian), because it's an Italian name, even though Dom himself might pronounce it the English way. That's just the way I've learned to say things.

Actually, not that I think of it, I'm not completely sure if Hoosteen really is a Dutch name. I know Joosteen is, and I simply thought Hoosteen was a variation of it.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:30 (fourteen years ago) link
well iirc it comes from justin pronounced in spanish so j is like h and i is like "ee"
― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Would a Spanish speaker really pronounce the "u" in Justin as a double "o"?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:33 (fourteen years ago) link
no but i mean if you were reading it as if you were pronouncing it in spanish. oo is not exactly the same as spanish u but a good approximation for english speakers.

Isn't the Spanish "u" much shorter than "oo" though? Wouldn't "Hewsteen" be better?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:38 (fourteen years ago) link
yes but ew in english is like eu or oh. it's the closest thing is all.
― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:41 (fourteen years ago) link
So it's either too long or too soft?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:43 (fourteen years ago) link
The vowel.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:44 (fourteen years ago) link
no i meant oh like as in sew but ew doesn't really sound like oh there. there's just no other way to write it! this is dumb but english is fascinating lol. hewsteen wouldn't work.
― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:45 (fourteen years ago) link
That's what I meant: there's no proper way to phonetically write the Spanish "u" in English - "oo" is too long and "ew" is too soft.
I think Spanish is much easier for Finns, because the Spanish vowels are pronounced pretty much the same as Finnish vowels.
