In my Britisher town there is a tapas bar called Que Pasa, and whenever I am on a bus which goes past it there are inevitably Spanish people on the bus who point at it and say "Kway Pasa!" and laugh hysterically, leaving me wondering if the "kway" is a hilarious mockery of English accents or is actually some feature of the Spanish language I was previously unaware of

but I guess it is the former really otherwise the humour is lost on me too

Sip the Hoos cuz I got enough to go around,
And the thought takes place Uptown
I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk,
And then taught to hawk New York-
I go to Queens for queens to get the crew from Brooklyn,
Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken,
Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down,
Get strong on the Island, recoup, and lay around.
Time to build my Hoos back up-
Props back up, suckers get smacked up

― What are the benefits of dating a younger guy, better erections? (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 11:48 (seventeen years ago)

Since it's supposed to be short for "Hoosteen", I say it the proper way, i.e. "haws".

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:02 (seventeen years ago)

explain?

― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:15 (seventeen years ago)

In countries were Hoosteen is a common name the "Hoos" part is pronounced "haws", or something close to it. Certainly not "h-ews" or "h-uice".

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:18 (seventeen years ago)

oh i didn't know it was a real name! i think we figured on some other thread it translated to faucet-diamond or something in dutch

― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:21 (seventeen years ago)

well that would be if it was big faucet aka the diamond-driver because there's only one s in the middle otherwise

here it is hoos international

― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:23 (seventeen years ago)

it is pronounced Ga-ear Herngru fwiw

― should probably be practising shorthand (country matters), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:24 (seventeen years ago)

Similarly, I wouldn't pronounce "Dom Passantino" the way English-speakers do, rather than the Italian way (or, rather, my approximation of Italian), because it's an Italian name, even though Dom himself might pronounce it the English way. That's just the way I've learned to say things.

(xx-post)

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:24 (seventeen years ago)

Actually, not that I think of it, I'm not completely sure if Hoosteen really is a Dutch name. I know Joosteen is, and I simply thought Hoosteen was a variation of it.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:30 (seventeen years ago)

well iirc it comes from justin pronounced in spanish so j is like h and i is like "ee"

― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:31 (seventeen years ago)

Would a Spanish speaker really pronounce the "u" in Justin as a double "o"?

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:33 (seventeen years ago)

no but i mean if you were reading it as if you were pronouncing it in spanish. oo is not exactly the same as spanish u but a good approximation for english speakers.

Isn't the Spanish "u" much shorter than "oo" though? Wouldn't "Hewsteen" be better?

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:38 (seventeen years ago)

yes but ew in english is like eu or oh. it's the closest thing is all.

― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:41 (seventeen years ago)

So it's either too long or too soft?

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:43 (seventeen years ago)

The vowel.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:44 (seventeen years ago)

no i meant oh like as in sew but ew doesn't really sound like oh there. there's just no other way to write it! this is dumb but english is fascinating lol. hewsteen wouldn't work.

― steamed hams (harbl), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:45 (seventeen years ago)

That's what I meant: there's no proper way to phonetically write the Spanish "u" in English - "oo" is too long and "ew" is too soft.

I think Spanish is much easier for Finns, because the Spanish vowels are pronounced pretty much the same as Finnish vowels.

― I ♠ my display name (sarahel), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:25 (seventeen years ago)

But do you know how Dom pronounces his last name, or how Hoos pronounces Hoos? I don't, so it seems natural to prefer the pronounciation that sounds more "right" to me. Of course if I knew these people in real life and knew how they pronounce their names, I would use those versions.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:30 (seventeen years ago)

it's short for HOOSTEEN dammit

― to cloves fork comfurt (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:36 (seventeen years ago)

I'm just saying that I'd assume (lacking knowledge of how they pronounce it) someone pronounces their name in the way someone in the area they were raised would pronounce it, as opposed to the area of origin of their name. Probably a lot of that is due to being American, where most people's names originated in other countries, save for Native Americans and people like my great-grandparents, who got their last name changed at Ellis Island because the immigration workers found it long and unwieldy.

― I ♠ my display name (sarahel), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

I think in Finland most people pronounce foreign names the way they're pronounced in their respective languages, if they happen to know that language. Maybe Americans tend to "Americanize" foreign names because (from what I've gathered) many Americans don't know any other languages besides English?

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:42 (seventeen years ago)

I think Americans tend to be more respectful of non-American pronunciations than some other countries that are more homogenous.

yeah but since "hoos" is derived completely from "hoosteen" it would make sense that one would pronounce "hoos" in the same manner that they would pronounce "hoosteen"

But what I'm saying is that you don't ever pronounce "hoos" as a discrete syllable in "hoosteen." Or at least I don't: I say it "hoo-steen." Which makes neither "hooze" nor "hooce" ideal; to be honest, I think I imagine the "s" as being vocalized only slightly.
