Help

Alright, I feel lame asking, but I have no idea how to correctly pronounce Pelle's name. I dont wanna look like and idea one day and be like "Yeah, that Pelle's pretty foxy" and the person being like "YOU MISPRONOUNCED IT YOU ANAL PIMP."

thus, is it "PELL" or "PELLY" or any other ways? currently i say "Pell" anywho, thanks for your help.

Hives = kings

Also, I'm not even gonna attempt to say his last name. I feel lame.

Melancholykiwi registered: 12/3/2004 00:00 posts: 30	Yuh-huh.. It is silent. To prove my point, take a look on the Personals page where Pelle writes a little rhyme about himself: "Oh well what the hell, Howlin Pelle just cant tell." [posted 12/10/2004 U.S.A.] Dun-dun-dunnn...

LoAndBeholden registered: 10/25/2004 00:00 posts: 265	hmmm...how odd.. When Pelle introed himself to me, he pronounced it with a stressed "e" at the end. I suppose even he doesn't know how to pronounce his own name.

pandaland registered: 4/3/2004 00:00 posts: 54	ok you guys its a Swedish name, and a very Swedish name, i know several Pelles and its 'Pellay', the 'e' at the end of his name is said. Pell is completly wrong in Swedish, when its spelled Pelle Per = Pelle Karl = Kalle Jan = Janne Lars = Lasse all the e's are said

Motley Pox registered: 1/18/2005 00:00 posts: 12	No. No. No It`s pronounced Pelle, where the -e at the end is said just like the first -e. Kind of like the french -e`s in the end of a word, Pellè, exept the -e (at the end of course) isn`t that "long". Example: the -e is pronounced like the -e in the name "Lenny". You can try to say just Pel first and then say it backwards without the "P", and there you go. maybe.. (:

LISTEN UP!

Hello. I'm Swedish. And pandaland seems to be too. I believe we are the ones who really know how to pronounce Pelle. Listen to the girl damnit!

'Pe' in Pelle is pronounced as pandaland explained it. Like 'Pe' in the english word 'Pet'.

And the remaining part 'lle' is pronounced like 'Le' in the english word 'Left'

So. Pelle. That's it. Thanks for listening.

17 minutes registered: 5/30/2004 00:00 posts: 284	Ööh. No. Pelles lastname is Almqvist. The place they're from is called Fagersta. And Pelle Gunnerfeldt is the guy who has produced their albums.

oh lord.

every english/american-talking guy/girl in here that believe they have the answer about pronouncing "pelle". LISTEN TO THE SWEEEEEDS GOD DAMNIT! ..

you say it like "17 minutes" up there explained.
A SWEDISH PERSON THAT LIVES IN THE SAME COUNTRY AS PELLE AND THE REST OF THE BAND DOES AND SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE!.
Pell-e (don't say it like: pelliiiiii .. pell-ey, with the same "E" as in "pell", the start of his name).

Besides, "pelle" isn't even his birth name.
it's "per" (you say it like the "pe" in "pet" and just end it with a simple "R"). but "pelle" is a nickname that you can use as well.

I don't expect any of you to get what I just said, but read it slowly several times (haha) and maybe you will understand, if you don' .. too bad.
___________

but it's kinda cute when some of you say "pell-i". hahaha, that makes me and all my swedish friends laugh.

moa-ha-ha.
