Marius Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 My naam is Marius. Dit is al hier lelik verkrom deur van my kollegas, van Morris, Maurice, Markus en wieweet wat nog alles. Dan kom die van, Pretorius, alles van Bredoris tot Preris. Ons giggel maar net daaroor. Van my kollegas het my naam nou al baas geraak en hy kom nogal heel goeterig uit met so 'n twang by die "a " en "r". Ek sien egter dinge begin nou na Mark neig en ek het al opgegee om te korregeer, so ek behoort binnekort Mark te heet .Ek ken 'n Jacobus hier, ek het al gehoor hy word as Dja-cou-buus en ander verwronging aangespreek. Dit lyk of hy ook binnekort Jack gaan heet en dit heel gelate aanvaar. As die naam rerig te erg raak het die Aussies darem een baie goeie teenvoeter, hulle noem jou sommer net Mate !

Guest Noeks Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi allMy wife and I are just about to send our PR application. We live in Centurion. I am a Software test engineer and my wife is currently a home engineer We are planning to move to Syndey. One thing that has been bothering me is what will I call myself in Aus. The Ausies I know have no idea on how to pronounce my very Afrikaans name. Has anybody had the same problem?Hi Jacobus, my hubby's name is Johan and although some of them get the pronunciation right, most of them pronounce it "Yo-han".
