Tomasz Schafernaker says Eyjafjallajökull twice in his 5-day weather forecast (BBC News, 16.5.10)

[FamilyGuyUltra]

He is mispronouncing it acctually. (I'm Icelandic.)

[SonicGeneration]

I died

[EveryThingAndAbit]

keep pressing 3:25 he sounds demented!



[zunirattlesnake]

He missed the final voiceless, lateral, affricate at the end [-tl] :)

[TheFemaleIcelander]

i have to say good job! he pronounced that very well :D most people who aren't icelandic don't even get close to pronouncing it right.

[IantoJonesTributes]

How long was he practisibng that lol?

[cefballer101]

For anyone looking for it:

0:13 and 3:25

[like2shipspassing]

that was obviously a dare...

someone in the office said "i bet you can't say that name"

and he went.. "of course i can, i'm tomasz schafernaker! and to prove it, i'll say it as often as i can put it in!" HA

[skintrade]

what happened to him was he sacked?

[bleshnak]

XD

thats one craaazzyyy name...

[liniusmusic]

well he is polish. probably easier for him.

[clarkjkent1984]

@liniusmusic Polish heritage not, Icelandic. What's that got to do with it?

[liniusmusic]

@clarkjkent1984 oh i don't know maybe because polish language has a lot of difficult pronunciation as opposed to english language? So he would find it easier than someone purely english to pronounce words such as Eyjafjallajökull?? Use a bit of common sense will you.

[clarkjkent1984]

@liniusmusic There is no need to be ignorant about it!

[liniusmusic]

@clarkjkent1984 im miffed, you've lost me. Lets move on, this is a video about the weather for christ sake. lol.

[clarkjkent1984]

@liniusmusic consider me moved.

[KlaxonCow]

@liniusmusic I assure you, English has just as much, if not vastly more, "difficult pronunciation" as any other language for those who don't natively speak it.

Indeed, the English language is easily amongst the least phonetic languages on the entire planet, meaning that it's about the most difficult language to derive pronunciation from its written form that exists.

[cefballer101]

@clarkjkent1984 It's a joke because the view of the media is that Polish people get it easy in the UK.

[KodykodyTV]

Eyafjatjajöttlkll :D

[HyperVoldo]

Cor what a LAD

[EndlesslyPT]

1:35 but still... quite shitty :-)

[DarthJedi2005remixes]

Showoff.... ;-)

[brianakirk]

lol chuggin away

[malfidus10]

Well, it's not a bad attempt at all, but he does pronounce the last bit wrong - he gives it an extra syllablele.

[Nfactor3]

HArd coreee

[TheBomber15]

Well done!

[antistar1000]

Ooooh isn't he so professional. Twat.

[Shenanigans07]

@antistar1000 What are you talking about?? he said something the majority of reporters, weathermen, and anchors failed to pronounce. I think that's pretty cool... in a lame way.

[SoylentGreeeen]

Did he just say the temperature will be quite "shitty"?

[larzhoban]

@SoylentGreeeen

"Chilly" I think he said.

[russelltrigger]

Now spell it?/ lol

[giammyzanna]

What "Eyjafjallajökull" means?

[ddemaine]

@giammyzanna "Island mountains glacier", in Icelandic. Actually refers to the glacier that was above the volcano, before it got vaporised.

[bulmeruk]

@giammyzanna Big motherfucker.
