How would you pronounce Jozef?

[Bellaholland]

How would you pronounce Jozef? As Joseph or Yo-seph?

Yoze (to rhyme with hose) - ev

It's a Polish name and so I would spell it 'Yoo-zef'', so an 'oo' sound, not 'o'.

Fondle With Care - yes, well part, on my fathers side.

I thought I had it right. My partner is Slovakian and I'm trying to learn the language, one of the first pages has a list of nationalities but I wasn't sure if Magyar would mean something different in another language.

FWC - practically neighbours then! My family live about 1 hour from Bratislava (and Vienna) in the north west of Hungary.

The region is lovely - have you been there?

(apologies for hijack)

Yo-zef

The Polish Jozef would have an accent on the o, I think.

I would pronounce it Yo-zef like the Czech pronunciation here

I've been to Bratislava, it's really nice there, I'll be going to one of the smaller towns this summer. I haven't been to Hungary yet though.

I just wanted to know how people in uk say it! My husband is Dutch we live in holland and here it is yo-sef. Just curious if my family and friends would do that too. In holland Joseph is also yo-seph.

I think people would see the continental spelling and assume the J was pronounced as a Y.
