OTRS question

Hi,

See here for the correct spelling. Btw he was born in Amsterdam. Rgds RonaldB 22:54, 13 липня 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks, but I do not need a spelling :) In Ukrainian we use another alphabet, not latin, and we make transcription of foreign names, so we write them as they are pronounced in foreign languages. The issue is not a spelling (how it is written), but how it is said. Can you, please, write me how do you pronounce this name, please - and better would be in using International Phonetic Alphabet. Thank you !--Yevhen 23:35, 13 липня 2008 (UTC)

OK, let's give it a try

In Jordi, the J is pronounced as in Johannesburg. The rest, I presume is pretty straightforward.

In Dutch, when spoken: Cruijff and Kruif sound the same. The ui, in Dutch, is a vowel. Most foreign speakers cannot pronounce that correctly. 'ui' in Dutch is totally different than e.g. German (as in Duisburg), or French (as in huit).

I could not find a proper phonetic representation, but this (the pronounciation of the name of his father), may be helpful. - Rgds RonaldB 01:03, 14 липня 2008 (UTC)

Another bit of help: article about his father - RonaldB 01:07, 14 липня 2008 (UTC)
