I don't think there is a O sound as it appears in Schopenhauer in English.

Closest is probably how Minnesotans pronounce O in O.K. Or that's what I think from a vague recall of the Fargo movie.

I pronounced so many names wrong for so long. I used to feel ashamed when it happened. Now I don't, but I make a point to correct my pronunciation going forward.

I used to pronounce Camus as "came-us" instead of "cam-ooo".

I used to pronounce Houellebecq as "Hoo-ella-beck" instead of "hwell-beck".

I used to pronounce Le Carre as "Le-Car" instead of "Le-Car-ray".

Hell, I even used to say "pew-litzer" instead of "pull-litzer".

Goethe as "goth".

Borges as "bore-jess".

The list goes on. For shame.

Americans will say Ono as "oh no". They cannot into O without making it an oh or ow, they just cannot.

>I used to pronounce Camus as "came-us" instead of "cam-ooo".

I've got bad news for you. It's actually an y sound, not entirely unlike as in myriad, but not like that either.

>>7517114

explain better. do you mean like "cam-yoo?"

Got it. I'm definitely gonna nail it the next time. Thanks for clearing that up.

>>7517124

No. If you want to roll with the example I gave, it would be something like the ca from cam, followed immediately by the my from myriad.

>>7517149

Closer than most, actually.

>Anon, there's this book you cited as a source in your dissertation... "The Legacy of Totalitarialism in a Tundra, if I'm not mistaken. I have never heard about it, and it seems to be highly praised in Goodreads. I'll have to check it out!
