My mic is broken :(

GRAWL!

If you say it "Grail" then he would have named it "Grail"

i useually pronounce it gr-al like the name Al, but sometimes i do pronounce it gr-all,

The name Graal was introduced by unixmad,
it is the French (and old latin) form of Grail
And we pronounce it like Bart, Art, Carl,
(I also pronounce both a's in gralat like this :-)

Graal is also the name of a town near Rostock

So.. Graal rhymes with Ball? Like.. Gr-All?

Today's geograpy/history lesson. hehe

*does a dance in the air*

I was right! Although I always pronounced Gralat with little "a"s so I'll have to learn how to say them properly now... Hey, how is "Knorr" pronounced? I also just say "Norr" with a silent "K" but my skill with foreign languages is less than perfect.

No, ball does not ryhme with Carl so therefore it does not rhyme with Graal. It's more like Grarl.

hmmmm no Graal is NOT like Ball
its hard for me to describe the spelling,
in German you have many words like this,
also in England English you speek more
words like this (like can't, bath, math
which are spelledd differnet in England English
and American English)

its funny anyway
English German
a e
e i
i ei
o o
u ju

German English
a awl ?
e a
i e
o o
u oo

no its a hard K

I didn't mean ball... I meant like the aa's were like "ah" or something. or GRAWL i dont know

Also, Germans say v as f, and w as v... :D

Vierzehn (14) for example is pronounced something like "fear tsain"... and zwolf (12) is pronounced like "z vohlf" or something.

They might pronounce Volkswagen (sp?) something like "folks vagen". Or something like that.

I might just be misunderstanding what my German teacher taught me, though.

Gee, thanks for including me in your list of people! :rolleyes:

Well, this is how I pronounce it. If it's wrong, I don't really care, that's how I pronounce it.

It is
12 - Zwölf - zvoehlf

I found better examples for the a,
my translation book says it is like
after, park

Hmm, you're halfway between Grahl and Grawl. I'd put a wav of me up but I don't trust myself not to sound like an idiot on it or something. Plus you'd all laugh at my cool English accent.

Errm..

Does it really matter how you pronouce it? I pronounce it Gr-all, even though its not supposed to be.

Dang, I always so late on these messages. I was gonna say what Graal meant and Stefan beat me to it. lol

BTW, Stefan, it's Olde French for Grail, right? I looked it up a long time ago, but forgot if that's what I read.

Actually, I pronounce, "Grail or however you say it"

Ex: You ever play Grail, or however you say it?
lol

Stefan, why don't you post a recording of you saying it. That would pretty much clear it up. It's difficult to hear how something is pronounced without actually hearing it. :)

it's grawl

you totally got the link from my Graalians post didnt you

check the timestamps, ur like 8 hours off.

osht, dont i look stupid now LOL :noob:

Its how ever you want to pronounce it and i pronounce it like Grail, Grawl sounds corny.

so it's "gart"

linking me to forum post, to a forum post i can't read.

the lounge is ridiculous and i can't believe that you have to send a pm to darlene with a copy-pasted paragraph to get into it. im not 12 and im proud of it.

Then what are you doing on a children's forum??

I say it like "Graal".

i say grail because i speak english

When we were younger my sister and I always pronounced it Gr-al, and I guess that sort of stuck.

I say it something like grawl, though google translate reads it with an open 'a' sound in both german and french.

dis is murca
