Hey guys!
I wonder how you pronounce the Dutch name "Loes". There's no such information here at btn.com.

Thank you,
Christina

The -oe- is a short, quick sound, as in English . But the -s ending is the important bit: it makes an sound, NOT a sound.

I think she means an S sound, NOT a Z sound

Indeed she does! Thank you ... I tried to use those pointy-bracket things, but clearly they and their contents get eaten by the ghost in the machine.

Will do better next time.

LOOS a bit like 'lose' but less stretched (for sure)

Would that be pronounce Low-ez? That would seem fairly faithful to the Dutch language.
