Silliest Question Ever

[rleechb]

Is Tunze pronounced, "TUN-ZEE", "TONS", "TOONS", or "TOON-ZEE"?

I've heard it pronounced all 4 ways....

 

[rvitko]

Tun Zee is the accepted English but grammatically correct German is Toon zah, the last sound is half way between eh and ah.

That's totally not a stupid question. I too have heard it pronounced all of the same ways you mentioned. Thankfully I myself have been using the correct pronunciation.

EDIT: I need to forward this thread to a bunch of people I know =)
