How do you say it

[lappinitup 629]

Several countries on the continent pronounce the letter ''W'' as a ''V''. So how do you pronounce Ricky van Wolfswinkel''s name? Is it as it is written.....Ricky van WolfsWinkelor the Germanic.....VolfsVinkelA combination of the two perhaps.....WolfsVinkelor the reverse.....VolfsWinkel

And then there''s the ''Van'' bit........

I asked my boss. Most Dutch can say their W''s.

This is what Vikipedia says "Ricky van Wolfswinkel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɪki vɑn ˈʋɔɫfsˌʋɪŋkəɫ]; "

Pretty comprehensive reply, should ensure that there are no more arguments about this.

Didn''t he used to play cricket for South Africa?

[ROBFLECK 132]

they pronounce the W like in WWWWAAAAAWWWW

[Salopian 1]

In Germany, I can''t speak for Holland, V is pronounced as F and W as V. Hence  a VW car is called a FAU VAY.

 

I expect that if he does well, which we all fervently hope, he will be known affectionately as either Ricki or as Wolfie.

Or simply as the wolf, unless he scores a lot of hat-tricks, in which case it could be ''Hat-TRicky as it was in the Netherlands!
