Q? for the English guys

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Q? for the English guys

My first nickname used to be Euritmia, this is a spanish word,
the translation to english is Eurhythmy,

I was wondering how it is correctly said my nickname in english,

my text-to-speech seems to said it wrong,
two versions here,
speech1.wav
speech2.wav


... hmmm?, ... I know, I know, ... but it is a rainy and
quite windy day around here and I'm enough bored to do
something useful ... so, it is a perfect moment to solve
my identity crisis :)

Paolo.

It would be pronounced Yoo - Rith - Me

The first one is correct.

I guess like the band The Eurythmics.

Eurhythmy: you-rith-me

Its eurythmics, Not Eurythmy (They are different, and you have chossen the wrong one)

Eurythmics :equilibrio de las facultades
Eurythmy : Arte Fino

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Eurhythmy << I'm sure TeaMonkey is correct that the band is named after a form of the word.

Thanks a lot !

this is funny :)

Paolo.

I always read your name as "Eurhythmics"!!!

yep, here it is the pronunciation, I think :)

Paolo.

And the band played on...

One more question,
tell me if it is correct to call the symbols <#> and <*>
this way:

# = numeral
* = asterisk

I'm using these symbols in a puzzle and need to know if I'm
correctly naming them.

Thanks :)
Paolo.

If you want an english text to speech convertor to prononunce your nickname as you speak it in spanish, try:
