By the way, for future references. Threads like these are not made for fucking around in. It's for Fast and quick answers, not phuns and shit
Thanks Gurant, can always trust you. :)
Get a room?
anyway. Malin Wendt= Mal-ein When-dit
and, Emil Jarvinen= Em-ail Jar-vain-nien.
Thats how I would pronounce them.
But Swedes doesn't pronounce E's, J's and M's like English speaking people do, so that would sound just like Tony Irving
Good job Gurant. Informative.
Järvinen is a Finnish surname.
