fen canary 0 Posted September 27, 2017 Can one of you cunning linguists settle an argument for me.Is it pronounced Sty permann ( as in pig sty )Or is it pronounced Stee permann.I think it is the latter, but whichever it is we have found a real gem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted September 27, 2017 When I was studying German about 30 years ago, my teacher said you pronounce the second vowel, so it would be ''Stee'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 457 Posted September 27, 2017 Give up with the pronunciation, I just call him Spider-man. When he missed that chance against Bristol I said to my daughter that I think he got caught up in his web, which brought a fit of giggles from her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snake-eyes 13 Posted September 27, 2017 It is pronounced Steepermann as in German, where there are the letters ie it is the second letter that is pronounced.If it is ei then it would be pronounced Stypermann.However if he keeps playing as well as he is, then it could easily become Superman!Snake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
