Pronounce alphabet
I am trying to pronounce the letters of the alphabet for peoples surnames. The problem is mine as it has an apostrophe
O'Toole ¿Puede usted ayudar? |
In Spanish your name is pronounced Otúl or Otule
|
Gracias. But if I went on holiday to Spain and the hotel receptionist asked me to spell my name how do I get it correct. I can't give her the Spanish spelling can I
|
Yes, you can spell it out using Spanish letters. They would be sure to get your name right that way.
|
Mi nombre es "O'Toole" [say it as you pronounce it in English]. Se escribe: o, apóstrofe, te, doble o, ele, e. "Oto-ole" [pronounced in Spanish].
|
Thanks it was the apostrophe I was looking for also noticed that you can also have apóstrofo. Does this mean that surnames are feminine?
|
No, it wouldn't mean that at all.
"Apóstrofe" and "apóstrofo" are two different words. My teachers always said "apóstrofe", so I learnt this mistake. Sorry. The correct word for talking about the spelling symbol is "apóstrofo". |
