Those who live in Europe, or who know Lars or have met Lars aren't allowed to answer my next question.

For those who have never met him, and who do not live in Europe, what is the correct pronunciation of the name listed below?

Lars Petrus

A funny restriction - "who live in Europe". Only a Swede and futhermore knowing where Lars was born in Sweden could tell, how he pronounces his name.

As far as I'm used to in German, "Fridrich" sounds most like "Freed-rish." "Freed-rick" is about as recognizable, though.

The "ch" is almost definitely not as in "Loch," though.

(Of course, the r's are different, too. But no English speaker can just pick that up. And I think it's a bit different in Czech.)

Does anyone here actually have first-hand info on Jessica's own pronunciation?

A Finn might know it too, I don't but some Finns might.

None of the Swedish dialects, spoken in Finland, does have an r-laut similar to the "r", as it is pronounced in "Lars" in Sweden.

Btw, Lars (Petrus) rhymes IMO exactly on harsh. (Only he himself can tell the difference).

German friend told me it's pronounced Freed-rish, that's how I've been pronouncing it ever since.

 

[hooboork]

i pronounces it like "frid-rich", but when i look at harris chan's vid he said "fre-drick". which one is the proper way saying it??

I personaly propose to pronounce it "fridrich". Actually, I am pretty sure about that because both me and she (he) are the same nationality.

 

[enigmahack]

Freed-rick
Roo

 

[MistArts]

Froo-drick
Roo(x)

Someone told me it was "Fried rice?"
I say
Fridrich=Free-drech
Petrus=Tetris (but with P at start)
Roux=Ru

 

[miniGOINGS]

Fridrich: em-pahyuhr
Roux: ri-bel-yuhn

 

[MTGjumper]

I pronounce them:

Fridrich: Freed-drick
Roux: Roo
Petrus: Puh-troose (rhyming with... "a goose", or summit )

Does anyone have rules for translating these "phonetic" thingies to IPA and vice versa? I really can't guess what many of them are supposed to mean, especially when used for non-English words.

None of the Swedish dialects, spoken in Finland, does have an r-laut similar to the "r", as it is pronounced in "Lars" in Sweden.

Interesting. So how is it pronounced?

As I wrote: Lars (Petrus) rhymes on "harsh" (eng).

Is Fridrich czech? If so ye might want to ask a Czech to check your pronunciation :rolleyes:

I pronounce it 'f-rid-rich' using the 'ch' from 'loch' or 'pochmann' (Scottish pronunciation).

Perhaps now, but I'm quite sure she's from eastern europe, as a lot of great cubers are. Have you seen this? An interesting read

 

[nkrasn11]

OMG i say frid-rich too! lol

 

[cmhardw]

I don't know about the particulars of the pronunciation for Lars Petrus' name, as for sounds not in English or the "S" being pronounced as "sh" in Lars. However, I'll bet that 95% of Americans say his last name incorrectly (I used to as well).

His last name is pronounced P"ee"trus. The "e" vowel in Petrus is pronounced like the first "e" in Peter. Lars himself told us this at the 2003 World Championship.

[JLarsen]

Hmmm.....I've been cubing 2 years and I'm doubting my pronunciations....oh my.

Fred as in the american name, rick, same deal. Is it freed?

Tetris with a P I like that one.

Roo like Kangaroo.
