Hmmm... that's how I've always said it too, but seeing as how I lived in Germany for 4 years, I figured the correct way was more like "Toonzie".

WOW.. Ive been saying it wrong all this time! ... need to go practice.

Toon- zah, Toon- zah, Toon- zah, Toon- zah... .

I think we need a pronunciation guide somewhere on RC. I know we all butcher words like acropora, echino, cheato etc.

you're kidding me! I never would have guessed this one. :lol:

I totally second the suggestion of a pronunciation guide on here somewhere!

Much like "Porche" is pronounced "POOR-shah". Not that I'll ever drive one, though.

the Germans with that name (or the car) say it with a different emphasis, it's PORSH-uh

You have to say the ah with your lips in sort of an oval and the sound comes from the back of your throat. It is not really an ah sound, its more like uh. I can't really describe it, it is hard for Americans to say. My Mother's name is Inge. It is pronounced Ing-uh. Most people call her Inga. She quit correcting them about forty years ago.

Yeh, you're right. It's almost as difficult to pronounce Arabic in typing as it is Deutsch.
