Hi, I just got an idea from reading one of the other posts:
It might sound really strange, but unless you're from an Englishspeaking country(bcz then it'll be pretty obvious) could you tell me your countrys name in your language???? Just for fun

Nice idea TC:
Hallo (Hello)

And of course I forgot my own:

The Norwegian names for Norway is:
Norge("Book Language, the formal version of Norwegian which derived from Danish)
and:
Noreg(New Norwegian, the form of Norwegian which was made out of a group writing down the dialects people spoke in the various villages and in the country-side)

TC LOL!! I tried to pronounce it, but I'm sure if you could hear me you'd be laughing for two days!!
Well, 'geia' is not too difficult to pronounce. Basically e and i sound as i together. The greek letter g stands for is a lot smoother that the english g (in fact it's more or less the sound of y in words like 'yard'). And a is, well, a

Yes, very close. But you don't have to put the last y. It's more or less sth like, YA, but it doesn't sound like the german 'ya'. If you smile while saying it, you'll get an idea.
