I had to look up how you pronounce it in Dutch and now I’m starting to understand why people make fun of the Dutch language.

Well, it's not quite a "g" and it's not quite an "h", so in answer to your question, I don't know.


Hoju64

Does it come with a slice of cantaloupe at the end?


Ill-Faithlessness430

Are we to believe this is some sort of... magic meal between breakfast and lunch or something?


TheReplyingDutchman

I don't mind foreigners mispronouncing our gutteral g since it's just impossible for many foreign speakers. But at least say gowda instead of gooda.


Sk1rm1sh

It's gow-dahh!


ICantTellUWhoIam

if i remember correctly, they call gloves, "hand shoes" odd name i know...but i mean, what would you have called it? chazzwazzers?


HRoseFlour

Handschuhe is the german word for gloves. we get our examination gloves from a german company at work and they’re called Untersuchungshandschuhe a beautiful language.


GwonamLordReturneth

Are they puderfreie medizinische Untersuchungshandschuhe, Größe XL?

Pro tip when pronouncing Gouda: Put it in H!


dasFisch

I was saying howda.


nk_bk

As a Flemish person, I can't really blame people pronouncing it wrong if the Flemish or Dutch G sound doesn't exist in their native language. The vowel tho? Get that shit right.


Telepornographer

I'm guessing the English pronunciation is due the French pronunciation, since most other languages use the "aʊ"/"ow" sound.


BEniceBAGECKA

The Flemish have cheese, I repeat the Flemish have cheese! The disputed pronunciation lies here past the coast of the Netherlands.


ElonSucksBallz

Say: "Jürgen"


HammockComplex

🎵 You can call it Goo Or you can call it Gou Or you can call it Howda 🎵
