Pronunciation?

[VDub90]

I figured this is the best place to ask, but how is Tunze pronounced? I've been saying it like Tunes. Or is it Toon zay or Toon zee ? Who knows?

 

[goda]

i think its tunze ton z a

 

[DaveE]

I pronounce it toont say myself, since a Z in German is pronounced like TS but I'm not sure...

 

[old salty]

My last name is about as Bavarian as Schwarzwaldkuchen (Black Forest Cake) and I butcher the pronunciation on it, so I feel it is my duty to do the same with Tunze (tunes.)

I also butcher acropora, naso, chaeto, Elos, and REFUSE to refer to lime as kalk; it's LIME!! Key kalk pie sounds equally stupid.

my dealer says toonzee (spelled phonetlicly) dont know
its like porshe and porsha

I have heard the dealer say toonzee but I've always said toons What's the real answer, I don't want to go into some highend place and ask for toons and get frowned at, lol

[owsi]

Tun like Tuna, imo

Toon zah would be more or less correct German, the last sound is a bit herd for an english speaker- somewhere between eh and ah, like Porsche or Miele. Ton zee is the accepted English and how I say it.
