Vout Weghorst . How to pronounce

Post by TheOriginalLongsider » Sat Mar 05, 2022 3:04 pm

Was just watching Astro Supersports” and they asked Mario Melchiot how to pronounce Vout’s name

“Vowt Wech Horst” with the W pronounced as a W not a V.

We’re never going to get that right on the Turf !

Apart from the chant where people sound like they are saying Wout the it is instead of Vout there it is people pronounce it pretty good tbh but it's certainly more like Vechorsht and not Wech Horst.

The issue comes with the g sound which English speakers struggle to pronounce, I can see why you may think it's pronounced ch rather than g but it's wrong to pronounce the start of his surname with a w.

Here's the correct way:

It should be easy for the club to make a short video asking the man himself how he'd like it pronounced. That would give us the definitive standard.

It would be funny if he said 'Harry Kane'.
