Help[Facts] Re: Niesje- How to pronouce?
in reply to a message by TheArtemisMoon
I think the closest (English) phonetic spelling would be NEE-shə. The "s" is more part of the first syllable than the second, though (As a Dutch person, I see the name divided into the syllables Nies and je, -je being a diminutive suffix)
