At the start of Gladiator, the German generals yells at the Romans, “Ihr seid verfluchte hunde!”
What’s the phonetic pronunciation of that?
I believe it’s “eer SEED ver-FLOOK-te HOON-de”. But it’s been a long time since I took German.
SIDE, but make the D sound like DT. Otherwise, good memory!
ETA the K in verfluchte also has that distinctive German ch sound, but close enough.
Ah! Thank you, ekedolphin and Maserschmidt!
ZIDE. Initial “s” is voiced in German, so it sounds like English “z”.
The actor shouting the line definitely isn’t a native German speaker. There’s a strong American or English accent. The first link provides the correct pronunciation, though.
I kind of figured that. I included the clip just because I thought it was cool.
Wouldn’t the “v” in “verfluchte” be unvoiced like an “f”?
Yes. I’m so used to German that I missed all sorts of things.
