Nguyen

Where is butterfli? Damn it. Now I have to f`ucking explain. The name is Vietnamese, it's an extremely common last-name, and sometimes, even as a first name. Imagine.. "Bob" (first name), it's as common as that. Feel free to debate with me on this, but I've seen more Nguyens than Trans, or anything else. My God, even my last name isn't that common.

It's pronounced as:

Last 3 seconds of video.

PS: It'd be really hard for me to type out how I would pronounce it, because I say it like that person did during the very last 3 seconds of the vid. A lot of Americans says Nguyen the easier way, because it's just too much time and effort to say it right. Similar to how I prefer people to pronounce my name as "Koi" IRL, while there's actually an "H" in my name, and they'll never get it right anyways. So the dumbed-down version is better, because some words, a lot of people aren't used to saying. It's like Nguyet, Nguyen, Tuyet, etc.

Everyone skipped over my post that already explained it T_T

You have no idea how annoying it is when people try to say my mom's name (tuyet), and always say "too-yet" when it's more or less "twet". That's why she has everyone use her english name [snow]

It's win. /thread
