Benning said it with a soft J at the draft and I've been wondering ever since. If you know any Eastern European people they would say the j as a soft y sound and the ch could be a k sound or ch sound depending on his family's roots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds likely right...or like me ...he is 6th generation Canadian and various other European counties before that...so I pronounce my last name ending in "ich" however the Canadian spirit moves me....

He’s one of the few guys who can match up vs speed or size effectively and still have an advantage. Pettersson will need the speed to get to elite status. All the smaller guys who succeed have top end wheels. Kyle Turris is actually an interesting comparable. I kind of see him as an average development curve for Pettersson in the NHL. Horvat is probably one of those guys I bet the vets from the other team don't want to face. He's one of those guys that when you try to hit, you end up feeling the pain too. He's literally built like an ox but is also fast. We need Jake to play like that too. And soon Jonas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeltaSwede Posted December 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2017 Swedish Chef here, you wondering about the pronunciation? EE(same sound as in "Event")LEE(Like bruce)AS(like in "aspiration) Elias. That video of 8 seconds is completely wrong. Stretch the "lee" part rather than the "as". It's a longer sound. After that i'll leave it up to you guys. You know how much cooler Forsberg sounds in english than in Swedish? Same goes with Pettersson. FORCEBUURRRG. With Pettersson it's important to notice the two "T's". It's not Peter (like Forsberg) - son. It's Petter. Like you're saying "Better" with a P. Finish that sucker off with a son. Elias Pettersson. Difference between Jonathan Dahlen and future Canuck Rasmus Dahlin? Dalhen - Daal (like the indian dish) en (like in "enter") Dahlin - Daal (like the indian dish) in (like in "info") I think that makes sense, at least in my mind. 2 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a “Swedish Chef” like you (I’m Danish first language and an English native speaker), so maybe I’m hearing it wrong, but when I listen to the games and interviews from Swedish TV, both Dahlén and Dahlin sound a bit different to my ears. To me Dahlén sounds a lot like this language sample. Kind of sounds like “dah-lee-n” and has a very noticeable stressed “ee” sound before the n. The “daal-en” you suggested (at least for me) sounds more like a German pronunciation for the name Dahlen (without an accented e). And to me, Dahlin sounds a lot like this language sample. Basically to my ear, the “in” part of Dahlin and “in” part of Sedin sound roughly the same (kind of like “een”). So Dahlin sounds (to me anyway) something more like “dah-leen” instead of “daal-in.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is dialects and accents involved in the whole thing and yada yada. Jonathan is from my hometown and his dad actually grew up with the same group of friends as my dad. So my accent matches the way he pronounces it. My post was directed at north american speakers who pronounce things differently. They even use different muscles than you and I would if we are speaking Swedish or Danish. Questionmark when it comes to danish if you even pronounce your words or just breathe something out hahaha :D I'm joking <3. Fun to hear some other Scandinavians are on here as well, wouldn't have guessed you were danish. Really good samples there, so if anyone wants to hear it said rather than reading my attempt at making some sense out of it go ahead.

Goal:thecup Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Game Day thread had this (with a note about EP being in the country): So you Nux Fans back east should practise this chant, and greet EP with it every chance you get: On 10/28/2017 at 11:56 AM, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Thought this deserved a place in the thread (didn't see it posted yet). Crowd chant by Växjö fans last game roughly translates as follows: Elias is our idol! Elias is our idol! He scores so f-ing many goals!

Yeah, us Danes apparently have potatoes lodged in our throats which cause us to butcher the language, or so I’ve heard. And we talk too fast and shorten most words by not pronouncing all the letters. The language differences are pretty funny. And my family might disown me for saying it, but I think Swedish generally sounds nicer than Danish. Interesting that Dahlén and his family pronounce their name more like Dahlen (without the accent). Is that more of a regional Swedish thing or just from all the time Ulf and the family spent overseas? 8 hours ago, DeltaSwede said: wouldn't have guessed you were danish. Haha, yeah. I’m very Canadianized. Was fully bilingual as a kid but my Danish has eroded from years spent speaking pretty much exclusively English. My Danish comes back when I go back “home” for visits, but I need a good week or two before that part of my brain really clicks back in. Plus, I have to either hang around old folks or little kids to actually practice my Danish because most Danes speak such perfect English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Trying to find WJH preview of Sweden. Lots of chatter about other players. Kinda feels like Knowbody back east want to mention Elias P.
