Help[Opinions] Re: Take a whack at this pronunciation........
in reply to a message by iris
"Kah-tah-ree-na" - not too hard you may think, BUT Americans just can't roll the r...so it's sounds pretty funny :)
It's actually pronounced with no english accent whatsoever :D
Would sound funny if a German would try to say Ryan :)
I hope you get the point :)

My friend's name is pronounced the same way as your name, but her name is Katerina.

And I can pronounce that name wonderfully! I don't americanize it, I talk good
And I didn't say the name was weird, all I said was that it's long, there's nothing wrong with what I said. And no, I don't americanize everything, alrihgt? And yes, I do respect where names come from. Geese.

that's what I thought
But...
1. I've heard the German pronunciation before.
2. I know you live in Germany so I assumed the German pronunciation.
And that information made all the difference. Without it I would have americanized the pronunciation.
I like how you related it to a German saying Ryan. I completely get your point :)
