[Opinions] Re: Some Slovenian names; WDYT & how to pronounce them?
in reply to a message by lanka
I'd say..
Ajda - EYE-da.
Emina - eh-MEE-na.
Manca - Man-sa, perhaps?
Neja - neh-ya.
Polona - po-loh-na.
Špela - sh-peh-la
Tinkara - Tin-kah-ra.
Tjaša - Ti-yah-sha.
The š is definitely a 'sh' sound. I have a penpal called Urška who is Slovene, and she pronounces it Oor-shka.
