Roumen
 

After having a party voice chat over vent, what struck me was how people pronounce things differently. I would just like to get a feel for what the majority (if there is one) of people believe is the correct pronunciation for Roumen.

Would you pronounce it R-ow-men or Roo-men? Or perhaps something different?

roomen i say it like

uh-oh.

I voted for the wrong one.

I actually say it, "Row-men"

well you know what I'm going to say: "oo" as in hoot

"roo-men" as you said :D "row-men" sounds odd to me :P It's personal preference though I think :D

Roo-men.

IMO.

Roo.

Row-men =P

I say Roo-men.

I say R-ow-men

"ow" as like "ouch"

:p

I'm inclined to pronounce the R as an L sound, and Roumen makes me think of noodles.

LOL@Icy

esp when sometimes they spell it Rumen...

How'd you know Blahs!?

Can't hide anything from me.

I say Roo-men.

I think "roo-men" is probably right, but I've always said it like "row-main" for some reason even though I'm pretty sure that's wrong it's just how it comes out.

As in... romaine lettuce? :cheeky:

I guess I say it a bit of both ways...

Row-oo-men

So looks like I vote 'other.'

Lol, yep just like that. :tongue:

idk if this has been posted already, i didnt have time to read the entire thing, but the "ou" in the name makes the word have an "ow" sound. lol

thats what i learned in English class anyway, lol

row ew min

I'm hooked on phonics :D

lol :cheeky:

Grammatically, 'R-ow-men' is correct.

\ˈrau̇-men

Similar to the word 'rout', drop the 't', and add 'men.'

Yes Hessah, I bring technicalities.

Well of course the wikiadmin. is correct XD

i spell it in Estonian ^^
As of it's mostly rumen...
roo-men it is then. ;)
(roumen sounds ugly too but this would be similar to row-men.)

-turns and run away form Triumph!-

:/ i say row-men. :P cuz it has a boat? xD i like to say it that way because of that....

Meh... Row-Men it is then... I better get used to it, it sounds... Weird... :blush:

Thanks for all the replies.

I say roo-men, i.e. (kanga)roo-men.

Like the word route, pronounced roo-t. However, it seems that some people (I guess from The United States of America, although I may be wrong) pronounce route differently too. But we won't get into whether the English or the Americans invented the English language :tongue:

May not have been either, my English College Professor said that the English we speak is a derivation of Low Dutch.

The word 'rout,' defined as a "chaotic and disorderly retreat," is closer in accuracy in terms of prefix in this instance, as 'rout' ends in a single consonant while 'route' ends in a consonant and vowel dual combination. Where as 'route' has many possible pronunciations, it is widely accepted that 'rout' is correctly pronounced as \ˈrau̇t\, or r-owt, regardless of nationality.

Rowmen!!!!

i speak like that: Ro-u-men
but when i speak it faster it becomes more rhu-men

All the fiesta names, can be easily pronounced in german :laugh:
