Kuyt Pronunciation

RE*AC*TOR

I've heard it pronounced both ways.

cournioni

Ku-white.

Lex Luthor

Gooaaalllllllllll......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chong

The way we pronouce it in the nederlands is, cowt.

gimmick

As poor threads go, this takes the biscuit. Who cares?

RE*AC*TOR

Straight from the horses mouth then.

Hopefully the media over here will adopt that pronunciation too. So we can avoid any High Flying Kuyt puns.



gimmick - I care

David19

is it not pronounced shíte?


...


I'll get my coat.

copacetic

i care too, cowt sounds weird already as they are all
saying 'kite' on the sports channels (which couldn't have been right). no doubt george h will
have his own special pronunciation too..

p.pete

I've been pronouncing it Kuyt
as in coy-t

RE*AC*TOR

On a related topic. Apparently there is a Dirk Kuyt Foundation - for disadvantaged kids or something.

Bounty Hunter

a friend of mine who is huge into his dutch football has been telling me about Kuyt for years phoenetically his pronunciation and therefore mine goes Koo-it

yop

It could also be pronounced as Cisse, Morientes, Forlan or Kezman

Ardent

I read somewhwere it was prounouned Coy-t (as in Reuters).

Necronomicon

Neither I don't think, I always said "Coyte".

In Holland the Y sounds like an n sound. So buye would be pronounced bunny. Hope this helps.

lol, much more erudite then that David19's comment

Rikand

hmm, after reading pigheads comment, i think i'll go for cowt!

pickarooney

The way someone from Belfast would pronounce 'clout', but without the L.

This is actually the perfect pronunciation, not just some weird internet joke.

Chong

Its definately pronounced Cowt, Dirk comes from a small seaside town called Katwijk where my family comes from. Kuyt is a popular name in that town, also if u want be precise his name is also spelt differently in the nederlands, its spelt as Kuijt.

Cruyff's jersey was something like Cruijff at Bergkamp's testamonial wasn't it? First time I saw that.

is that for extremely ugly ian dowie lookalikes?

Chong

Indeed in holland the "Y" is replaces with IJ.

For Example some may remember Ed De Goey, but in holland his named is spelt Ed De Goeij, same for Ruud Van Nistelrooij.

Also you know Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, in holland he is called Jerel Hasselbaink.

Lemlin

Whatever way it's pronounced, you can be sure the Irish lads at RTE will get it wrong.

Dr. Nick

I'm sure Andy Gray said 'Cowt' today.
