Dirk Kuyt is pronounced...

[Morph]

I think it sounded more like Dirik than Derek

I know what you mean - the vowel's not quit a i and not quite an e. Derek just sounds amusing, and not far off

[Morph]

why couldn't he have just lied and said it's pronounced Derk Kite, veryone would have been happy then. Well except maybe him, but it's a small price to pay, become a legendary goalscorer and have no one say your proper name.

[Insider]

I'm going to call him "Dirk Kuyt".

So funny...............2 Bristolians (is there such a word ) arguing over the correct way to say Dirk Kuyt



:whatever:

Derek Kowt according to the big man himself. FACT.

Let me get my head around this - so the correct pronunciation rhymes with SHOUT? I don't think it will stick. Its like telling people here in Australia that soccer is actually pronounced as football.

Yes, with some emphasis on the K (not quite Kh, but almost)

Could you not tell which language I wrote it in?

theres no direct way to describe the pronunciation using english syllables

"Deeeerk" (an elongated version of the english i) "ccchhhh" (ilongated like you were gonna spit) - ouwyt with a weirrd blending of the w and y that no english word contains.

the ending is very similar to the correct pronunciation of molby and hysen which led to some people thinking it was glen "hussein"!

its a northern european thing - effin freaks

[Los Rojos]

And it's "Los Regis" and "Shunks" from now on

I like that. I was always a great admirer of Cyril Regis in his Coventry days.

Yeah - we could just call him Dirk Barcud.
