How is this name pronounced?

 

I've got 2 reasons for thinking this:

 

1. There's a Dutch drink called DeKuyper. It's pronounced Dee-Kiii (as in eye)-per.

 

2. Jose Mourinhio called him Kite, in an interview, and he worked with Dirk Kuyt.

 

I can't see any circumstance where 'Kuy' would be pronounced 'Cow'. If so, then 'guy' would be 'gow'

and 'buy' would be 'bow'.

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the Dutch language is'nt so different to English, regarding punctuation.

 

It's not a 'matter of life and death' thing, but I'm seriously getting p*ssed off with commentators who just

'say what they see'. These guys are being paid big bucks to commentate......the LEAST they could do is learn the proper pronounciation before spouting a load of crap, and making a complete dick-head of themselves.

 

Will welcome ALL comments (except mis-pronounced ones). Dutch speakers given preference.

 

Good luck for the WC finals, btw. (I got you at 9/1 for a £20 stake). Don't let me down....I need some skunk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you go:

 

To be honest, you must know that we Dutch are often struggling to pronounce the English "th" right , not pronouncing it as "t" or "s" or "z".

Only when they're drunk, or have a speech impediment. 

 

 

I'm off to listen to Henesis.........Hong.............or maybe even Hentle Hiant.
