german "eu" is pronouced "oi"

>>9163545
doesn't matter how his German name is pronounced, his english name is pronounced yooler.

>>9163587
How do you pronounce french names then?
La Place?
Des Cart Es?

I bet you also pronounce Nietzsche Ni-tske

I call him "Öljyäjä". That's Finnish for "Oiler".

>>9163599
No, it's nitz-she.

>>9163598
i pronounce them how they're spelled, la place is the lah-place as in place of birth.

>Yoo-ler

>>9163540
I have had like 3 professors who had to introduce some of Euler's theorems and they said something like:

This result is by Yoo... Oiler.

>>9163540

The three words you listed all have Greek roots. The 'eu' prefix means good (or well) or similar. We pronounce them according to a Greek orthography.

Euler is Swiss-German. Hence, the same rule does not apply.

This is what happens when we mix orthographies.

>>9163587
He does not have an English name. He was not an Englishman nor a citizen of one of the other countries where the official language was English.
Germans don't call George W. Bush "Georg Läufer Busch".

>>9163715
they call him
the scheisse that came twice

>>9163621
Holy shit you're a brainlet. If I heard you saying la place I would smash your skull

>>9163715
Der Amerikan Führer

>>9163690
Why are so many professors fucking brainlets? How did they get there? If they actually gave a shit about their subject the would have pronounced it correctly with zero hesitation.

>>9163540
OI! ler, that's how his name should be pronounced. The fact that in english you pronounce letters in a strange manner doesn't mean you can change his name into something else. It would be better for people like you if they changed letters in his name to something that would sound Oi-ler when pronounced.
>>9163587
It's not his "german name", it's just his name and the way he should be called in any language or country.

>>9163709
And this is also why Anglos can't be trusted with their own language.

Why are the French allowed to gallicize everything but people get up in arms when we anglocize a couple of words?

>>9164207
Because French faggots are irelevant, we only care about glorious nations.

>>9163777
Yooler is the natural pronunciation. You only say Oiler if you remember he was from whothefuckknowsland.

>>9164215
French is probably the most influential language on English.

France and Britain are the longest lasting kingdoms in Europe.

>>9164252
Yeah, it's amazing how they lasted until 2015. Crazy. I can only hope the new Caliphates of Britain and France also last at least that long.

oi oi oi

>>9164129
It doesn't matter if it's a french name, it's written in english, because of this fact we should pronounce it in english, words change phonetically from language to language,words that mean the same thing in two languages will be pronounced differently in those languages.

If i name my kid euler would his name be pronounced yoo-ler or oiler?

it would be yoo-ler, it doesn't matter if a word is french or any other language, if you borrow a word from a different language you only borrow the letters and denotation, not the pronunciation.

Cough laugh rough taught
Memorize using that thing in your skull

>>9165517
There's a big difference between words that all start with eu and words that end in ought or aught you fucking retard.

>>9163621
"how they're spelled" is not a coherent phonetic thing. It isn't in any natural language.

In their defense, they do have to listen to their brainlet students mispronounce it all day every day.

>>9163540
If you were discussing music, would you pronounce 'Bach' as [ˈbɒxː] or Batch?
Is it [beyt-hoh-fuhn] or Bee Thoven?
[Mo-tsart] or Mo's Art?
In short, do you want to sound like you know what your talking about, or do you want to sound like brainlet Bill and Ted?

>>9163598
I have a cirgin voice but here is how to pronounce it : https://vocaroo.com/i/s069655SRjBj

>>9167594
What is cirgin and are you French? Also, Descartes sounds like dick art.

>>9167599
I wanted to say virgin.
Yes i'm french. Descartes is pronounce "deck art" but it sound really close ro dick i agree.

>>9166860
short As pronounced like u in fuck

>>9164124
Irrelevant. Ours is still a superior phonetic system. I shouldn't have to know the etymology of a word in order to pronounce it. Words should mold to the language, not the other way around.

>Guy-loh-mee day Lo-pie-tell

>>9163540
First 3 are Greek words, the fourth is a German name. Also, that's not a valid way to determine a word's pronunciation. Cough through though, draught caught

>Choh-pin

>Shrow-dinjer

>>9165884
Yes. But there tend to be pretty clear rules, which are mostly followed outside of imported words, which often keep their spelling. English is just catastrophically bad at this due to having adopted words from literally everywhere, and not adapting spelling to the way pronunciation naturally changes over time. Which makes phonetic coherency basically inexistant in english, rather than a baseline in, say, german.

>>9167719
Get the fuck out of here with that disrespect, stupid faggot. We'll pronounce your shit names however we want. 4chan, the internet, the computer, everything was created by us Americans. Stop using them if you can't respect us.

>>9167649
Yeah. I would say "la plus" is a pretty intuitive way of conveying it.

>>9167709

I've heard a lot of people pronounce it like chopping instead of sho-pen

>>9163540
Thats funny, because in the netherlands all those words are pronounced oi-something.
Hmmm, was Euler Germanic or Anglo?

Why are you still on this site? It was made by an American. Why are you still using the internet? It was made by an American. Why are you using a computer? It was invented by an American. Why are you alive? Because an American saved your Grandpa's ass in WW2.

>>9167765
Why are you speaking English? It was created by the British. Why do you live in America? It was colonized by Europeans. Unless if you're native American, in which case you have every right to be there but right to include yourself in America's achievements

My eu is pronounced [oʏ] not [ju]

I can stop speaking English by learning another language. We kicked your Europoor ass in war and became a free country. You on the other hand can NEVER stop using American inventions. Hell, you can't even stay alive without our help.

I pronounce "Zuckerberg" "Suckerberg", although his name is a german word: Zucker = sugar, Berg=mountain. In german it would be "Tsukkerberg".

>>9168349
>What about Van Gogh? Why no Dutch pronunciation?
Because Americans suck at pronunciation, and because linguistic change is enforced by popular vote.
If you can convince enough brainlets to mispronounce Euler, then eventually the academics will have no choice but to go along with the Anglicized version.

>>9169273

If that were true (which it is not) then we
would all sound like we were from India.

Learn your own language rules,names keep the original pronunciation.
Also, you didn't do anything, american inventions made in china amirite?

>>9169310
It's called a dialect, brainlet. In India, everyone DOES sound like they're from India.
