I didn’t correct him. Am I a good or bad person? Never having heard anyone say the word I have always thought of it as Sadoffski in the usual European manner. I expect I shall continue doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It's in fact Sa-doch-ski in right polish way... Ask any Polish around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been to Poland or discussed this with a Polish speaker so I can't dispute your experience but, not only Monkeypedia, every online pronunciation guide I consult says that Polish w = sound of v (or sometimes f). How would you pronounce the cities Wrocław and Warszawa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am never sure if it's Hartkey or Hartkuh, my feeling is the latter but most go for the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a Polish sort of name, who's to say about Sadowsky, unless the builder calls it Sadoffski Wal, on the other hand was named after ian Waller, which i guess you already knew, so that ' vaaal ' was def. wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough my lad (I say lad, he's 27) often asks me if I'm on that fish forum again. He doesn't get out much (neither do I come to that). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one is pronounced something like "vrots-woff" according to a Polish bloke I know. I don't know how he pronounces bass manufacturers though...
