Recommended Posts

...Chrzanowski, as in Tomasz Chrzanowski.

 

I've heard about a dozen different ways of saying it in the last fornight. The most popular seems to be Shan-owski. Is this correct?

While we're on the subject, how do you pronounce Miedzinski?

Shanovski isn't a million miles away. Brits would find it difficult to pronounce the first 4 letters (Chrz) which are two separate sounds. Rolling them into a 'sh' isn't too bad a substitute. :P

 

As for Miedzinski phonetecially I'd suggest mye-jinski. Hope that comes across ok Grachan.

Anyway, however you pronounce it, it's probably nothing like how Tony Millard pronounces it - although Millard's pronunciations are liable to change during the course of a meeting, so he might get it right once or twice.
