GRAWL!

If you say it "Grail" then he would have named it "Grail"

The name Graal was introduced by unixmad,
it is the French (and old latin) form of Grail
And we pronounce it like Bart, Art, Carl,
(I also pronounce both a's in gralat like this :-)

I was right! Although I always pronounced Gralat with little "a"s so I'll have to learn how to say them properly now... Hey, how is "Knorr" pronounced? I also just say "Norr" with a silent "K" but my skill with foreign languages is less than perfect.

No, ball does not ryhme with Carl so therefore it does not rhyme with Graal. It's more like Grarl.

hmmmm no Graal is NOT like Ball
its hard for me to describe the spelling,
in German you have many words like this,
also in England English you speek more
words like this (like can't, bath, math
which are spelledd differnet in England English
and American English)

its funny anyway
English German
a e
e i
i ei
o o
u ju

German English
a awl ?
e a
i e
o o
u oo

Also, Germans say v as f, and w as v...

Vierzehn (14) for example is pronounced something like "fear tsain"... and zwolf (12) is pronounced like "z vohlf" or something.

They might pronounce Volkswagen (sp?) something like "folks vagen". Or something like that.

I might just be misunderstanding what my German teacher taught me, though.

It probably is supposed to be said like Grail, but that's the way I've been saying it since I started.
Gee, thanks for including me in your list of people!

Well, this is how I pronounce it. If it's wrong, I don't really care, that's how I pronounce it.

Hmm, you're halfway between Grahl and Grawl. I'd put a wav of me up but I don't trust myself not to sound like an idiot on it or something. Plus you'd all laugh at my cool English accent.

Actually, I pronounce, "Grail or however you say it"

Ex: You ever play Grail, or however you say it?
lol

Stefan, why don't you post a recording of you saying it. That would pretty much clear it up. It's difficult to hear how something is pronounced without actually hearing it.

When we were younger my sister and I always pronounced it Gr-al, and I guess that sort of stuck.

I say it something like grawl, though google translate reads it with an open 'a' sound in both german and french.
