It's impossible in English.... but translate it and it works -- [St] Mary's Church (Llanfair) [in] the hollow (pwll) of the white hazel (gwyngyll) near (goger) the rapid whirlpool (y chwyrndrobwll) [and] the church of [St] Tysilio (llantysilio) with a red cave ([a]g ogo goch).Don Savik said:
Technically not a word... it's a town.
OT - good thread!
I think it calls for some 30 Rock
I struggle with juror as well as community... but I am improving with both... I hope...
The French pronunciation of "R" is tough for me sometimes.
Especially when I'm on the spot in class having to pronounce a word with only a few syllables that makes it nearly impossible to cover up the R sound.

Try saying "An enemy".troyrich said:I used to find it impossible to say innovative.. but i recently managed it somehow
Can;t say Anenome though (probably spelt wrong.. its the plant that Nemo lives in!) whenever i try i just get this stammer An...an...a...an...anena...fuckit!
Personally, I have troubles with floccinaucinihilipilification. I keep saying "philipifica" instead "hilipilifica".
It's kind of sad.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with talking fast quite often. But there are a lot of stuff I've never said properly.
Two things that come to mind off the top of my head are the names of two schools where I live.
An elementary school called D. Mac Ray gets muddled into "D Mac Grey" and a middle school called Dunbar is always pronounced "Dumbar."

Also, Welsh vowels are different than vowels in pretty much any other language -- so are the consonants, for that matter. W makes an ooh sound, and DD makes a soft th sound, so, for example, the University of Aberstwydd (I hope I spelled that right) would be pronounced "University of Ab-Er-Stew-Ith." Incidentally, Tolkien used some very Welsh-like pronunciation rules in a lot of his made up languages; I know for a fact that Dh makes a soft th sound in elvish, and kh makes a ch sound in Dwarven -- meaning that "Khazad-Dum" is properly pronounced "Chaz-ad-doom," while "Galadhrim", properly pronounced, would be something like "Gal-uh-thrim."jFr[e said:
Counter intuitively.
Becomes counter intuvivlvly.
I can't even spell it actually. I had to rely on the damn spell checker. And I was way off. FML

Innovative, I always throw in an extra syllable and end up with ininovative. Every God damn time.
I find myself occasionally saying the word programming like "pogramming" or "porgramming" if I'm not paying attention to my own speech. Which happens more than you'd think.
Often my train of thought will go too fast for my speech to keep up and I'll end up squishing two consecutive words I'm trying to say together. Like if I was going to start a sentence with "The bank rang..." I'd end up saying "The brang... erm sorry, the bank rang..."

Rural.
I have so much trouble with it. And after a few failed attempts at correcting myself it comes out "RURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL."
Also ***sin***
The Russian word for son. "Sin" But draw the tongue back. "Selyn." "Scene." "Seehn."
Bah!! Minya eta ne nravitsa....

Going Grammar Nazi on a German? Bad idea.dogenzakaminion said:
While "Schifffahrt" is the correct spelling these days, the company was always called Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft, because at the time of its founding "Schiffahrt" was still correct. Meanwhile the company has changed hands (and names) a few times and currently calls itself "Erste Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft" - still with only 2 f's.
By the way, that (i.e. the various language reforms) is the reason why German is most definitely not the coolest language around. There are quite a few things where I have no idea if what I'm writing is still considered right.
That would imply that welsh people can speak welsh, and believe me, we can't.Comando96 said:
I can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch however.
Asside from those from other languages, the only one I can think of is '****' it's such an ugly word in every sense, it sounds ugly, it feels ugly to say, and it means something extremely ugly. Not sure how anyone can stand saying it cause when I do it feels like I'm trying to regurgitate a brick.
