This message is from: "Tina & Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Bonnie: Correct pronounciation is: Sue-ten-deh, My. (Or about as close as North Americans can get without lots of Norwegian Lessons). Lykke til deg og har det bra! (Good luck and cheerio!) Tina in Ontario. -- The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Would somebody "in the know" let me know how to pronounce Syttende Mai? OK, I am not Norwegian, and I had never heard of Syttende Mai before I move to WI. But I now actually know people who make (and eat!) things like lefse and lutefisk. In this part of the midwest, people say SET-nay My (accent on the first syllable). Hope that helps!

This message is from: Emily Wigley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm not Norwegian, nor do I speak the pretty language, but after 9 years of living in Ballard, Seattle, Washington, I did learn to pronounce Syttende Mai: "sit-endy my." That is how the Norwegians in Ballard say it, ya sure, you betcha! Off to teach with my good pal Nils, my gelding, who is so special and kind. He got a hair cut this morning - my goodness but it was just cut 3 weeks ago and needed it again! He is a healthy guy with all the work he does and his coat quality and hair growth rate show it!! :-) Emily The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
