I asked on the official Sam & Max Episodes forums if anyone had a gif featuring Max go through his menacing animation, as I'd spent some time trying to capture it using FRAPS to no avail. One of the developers ripped it out using the Telltale Tool for me.

Im figuring the "b" has to be silent so it sounds like "Ros-jerg", you know, because "Ros-b-jerg" is just silly.

 

It looks scandanavian in origin to me... and in that case the j would be pronounced y Rosb-yerg.

 

Of course, I could be wrong... and probably am... I'll shut up now... :)

Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

Ros, can you repost that sound file where you pronounce your name, the one you posted way back then? Remember, when somebody asked the very same thing?

 

Hah, I can't believe I actually remembered that.

 

Also, funny points for seeing ENL speakers try to get around the pronunciation of a Danish name. :brows:

As somebody who has studied a modicum of Icelandic, I always find it hilarious when people try to act pretentious by saying they listen to "sig-er ross" or "bee-ork".

I took a screen cap of the Animatrix while the kid was looking at his computer screen trying to get out of the matrix. I love the stylish art work chapter.
and here I thought it was some modern art representation of a badger :x

People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

mine is the cover of an album called Deja Entendu (french for "already heard", i think) by a band called Brand New.

 

edit: or at least that's the avatar that shows in my profile, even though I updated I still have this Jonathan Cheechoo avatar.

I don't have the old audio file and I couldn't find the old thread either and by the time I get home to make a new one the thread will have moved on. :ermm:

 

And it's actually my last name.

 

It's gonna be very difficult to tell you how to pronounce it and I haven't met a native English speaking person being able to do so.

 

The closes thing would be like the "Ro" in "Rock" and then a soft "s".

 

The "Bjerg" is a bit difficult to explain.

the "Bj" as you would say it, is pretty close, but the "erg" is to hard for danish - it would be closer to a "bj-yeah" so "Ro-s-bjyeah" is probably as close as we can get.

 

Still it's nowhere near.. if you guys really want it, I'll make an audio file later today when I get off from work?

Wouldn't it be be somewhere in the vicinity of [russ-byaerh] ('russ' like in Russian, except the 'r' isn't "rolling" but flat, "ya" like in yankee and a slightly prolonged 'h' at the end)? :ermm:

Hmm.. that is quite close..

 

I guess you're more used to explaining Danish words to people around the world? :ermm:
