König means king
koh nigg

very close, but the "ö" in König is like the "u" in current, just longer. quite difficult to explain it in short, though...

great thread BTW :thumbup:

Thanks, updated

The best way to describe it is probably along the lines of Kue-nig....

 

[mkIIIman089]

Bride -- bridd

This one stands out as very wierd to me. Just making sure thats not a typo.

the only reason i remeber wat it means is because of the chick i knew from germany she told me what it stood for.

BHG -- b'll-own hed gass-ket

 

[Loki]

Neat thread, always wondered how some of those were pronounced. Also BHG isn't an Aftermarket Brand :icon_roll

Its not a typo. Bride is not pronounced the same as a woman getting married.
