How To Pronounce Meisterstuck 149

[Jamesino]

Is it pronounced:

 

Mye-ster-stook one-forty-nine?

[Chthulhu]

"MY-stair-shtook eyn-HOON-dairt noyn und FEART-seeg" will be close.

[dogpoet]

Montblanc don't know. Why should anybody else?

[Bearcat]

"MY-stair-shtook eyn-HOON-dairt noyn und FEART-seeg" will be close.

 

 

Das es richtig!

Das es richtig!

 

Danke! And to think it's been 35 years since I took German in high school. <G>

[FearNot]

With a name like Mont Blanc you'd expect something like cent-quarante-neuf :>)

Not entirely as Meisterstück has an Umlaut, so it isn't -shtook but a long -u- as in -but- at a somewhat higher pitch. Think Mueller and you're close.

[jips123]

why do you want to know how it is pronounced (in German I presume)?

[Deirdre]

I just say: "one forty-nine."

[stevlight]

I just say: "one forty-nine."

"MY-stair-shtook eyn-HOON-dairt noyn und FEART-seeg" will be close.

Not bad.

 

Compare it with this @1:25, you can hear this word in German.

The speaker "over-pronounced" (overemphasized) it a little, really just a litte bit.

It is pronounced EX-Pen-Sive one forty nine.

[nvbrennan]

It's pretty hard to write down the phonetics for the u with the umlaut. I'm sure someone around with linguistics background could do it but even if they did unless you understand the system it still won't convey the sound correctly. German is such a nice language.

[talkinghead]

"MY-stair-shtook eyn-HOON-dairt noyn und FEART-seeg" will be close.

 

I love that! Can I use that in my signature?

In Germany I've heard them them call it simply "Die Zigarre".

Dammit! I have been pronouncing it "meer-stuck" all this time. Why did you have to go correct me?

Of course...but the name of the company is Montblanc

Because that means "sea-piece"? hehe

Call it whatever you want. Just avoid buying one.
