How Do You Pronounce "Prvi"?

[B. Lahey]

I like the Prvi Partizan brand of ammo a lot, but I'm probably saying it wrong.

Purr-vee?

Priv-ee?

Some other way? How do the Serbs say it?

 

[Wildalaska]

I think its Purvee, with the U being very short...

Now try: Przemyśl

I have a Polish bud that can decipher several slavic languages. I'll ask him.

He's already taught me the correct pronunciations of Zastava and Ceska Zbrojovka.

He's already taught me the correct pronunciations of Zastava and Ceska Zbrojovka.

What is the correct pronunciation of Ceska Zbrojovka?

My guess is CHES-kha SBRO-yove-kha, but I've never had anyone verify that...

I like how people spell it.

Parvee Purtisan
Privy Peartison
Premo Purlioninson
Pervert Pringleton
Poorboy Patterson

I think WA nailed it. That's how I say it.... and I'm usually right!

Hello, I have a Czech friend whom told me that it is pronounced
"Ches-ka/ Zbro-yof-ka". The first word reads as it sounds from
an american perspective (rhymes with freska); the 'r' in Zbro is a rolling 'r' as in spanish(like the double 'r's' in burrito) , so it's Zbrro( Oh, and sound
out the Z; so it's Z-brro; with a long 'o') it's easy if you can hear it ; the 'o' in yof is a long 'o' and the 'v' before a 'k' sounds like an 'f' ; the ka
sounds like the 'cu' in cut; the 'j' also has a commonality with
spanish as it sound like a 'y' in english( like the name yarger). The
'yof' rhymes with loaf. So, 2 syllables in Cheska and 3 in Zbro-yof-Ka.
