How Does One Pronounce...

[GenJerDan]

...the Spanish name "Ruy"?

I frequently come across it in my readings and have yet to hear it said out loud.

Yeah, I know. Silly post. But not necessarily non-film related. What if I wanted to name a character Ruy?

 

[Rick Meyer]

Wouldn't it be "ROO-eee"? Don't forget to roll the R. The natives love that.

 

[GenJerDan]

Haven't a clue. Reasonable, because of "muy", but...just wanna be sure.

Have the same trouble with the French "Guy", but I do know how that's pronounced.

 

[Herman Witkam]

Since you're German...the vowels (uy) are like German 'Sie', and the G is like 'go' in English...

 

[Terry_Lasater]

He lives in Germany but hails from New Jersey (errr... sumthin' like that).

Gotta talk to Jarred about changing that one of these days.

 

[Charli]

The same as 'muy' as beforehere stated. Think of Ru Paul.

If it's all the same to you...perhaps not tonight. Vali is counting on an end-of-Summer baby, and that might put it off until sometime in Autumn.
