Young Royals and pronunciation, part 4

We're down to minor characters, so these videos are pretty short since their names are rarely said out loud. Starting with Vincent:

youtube

This should pose no problems for English speakers since it's so close. It's spelled with a 'v' in both languages, so no-one is confused about the initial consonant. The vowels are slightly different, but that's just the standard "Swedification" of the name.

Vincent belongs to a group of names that have risen in popularity in Sweden since a couple of decades back, and that is names that are English, or work well in English. Names go in cycles, but some classic Swedish names like Håkan, Åsa, Göran, or Gunilla are now out of fashion. They're not just temporarily unpopular, they're completely erased, no kids have gotten these names in decades. And new names like William, Alice, Noah or Wilma, that were completely unheard of when I was a kid, are now the height of fashion.

youtube

Almost no-one references Nils by his name, but instead choosing his nickname, Nisse. Why is it "Nisse" and not "Nille"? I don't know, I don't make the rules. The nickname for Kristian is Krille, and the nickname for Nils is Nisse, that's the way it is. Just roll with it.

Note that the pronunciation follows the same rules as for Wille and Simme, the stress and the tone and the vowels are 100% identical, it's only the consonants that change: /ˈnis:e/, /ˈvil:e/, /ˈsim:e/.

youtube

Since Henry is part of the group of names that are popular because they work in English, this should also pose zero problems for people to pronounce. The biggest difference is the trilling 'r' that you should be able to hear if you listen carefully.

Personally, I consider Henry's parents to be language traitors who should have picked the classic Scandinavian name Henrik instead of this horrible Anglophone alternative, but everyone is free to name their kids as they please even though some people clearly chose wrong!

youtube

Walter is also part of this group of rising English-friendly names, but it's been popular before and came to Sweden through Germany back then. Swedish always treats 'w' as 'v', so this name is pronounced /ˈvaltər/ and not like the English /ˈwɔltɚ/. The beginning of the name is closer to the British pronunciation of vase, and nothing like the English pronunciation of water.

I deleted my old tumblr about a year ago but then decided to make a new account with the intention of logging on every now and then to see what was going on in the fandoms I interested in. I wasn't going to interact with the posts or post anything myself but I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. I know that tumblr is a very far-left-chronically-online-teenagers kind of website (where "teenagers" does not necessarily refer to the actual age but rather to the black and white thinking and inability to understand that the real world is much more complex than that) and I'm not a fan of social media in general, plus I'm a very busy person, so I don't really like spending a lot of time on here but sometimes it can be fun.

Imagine my surprise when I created my new account sometime in December or January, only to find out that Noah Schnapp had apparently been cancelled, when only a year earlier he was being praised for being "so brave and queer" (I have my thoughts on all of this too but they're irrelevant right now). Knowing tumblr, I obviously rolled my eyes and moved on, wondering briefly what he might have done to warrant people cursing him left, right, and centre. Then I came across that photo and was like... I have no idea what's going on. Because I literally didn't. I learn about the news from newspaper headlines and only occasionally glance through New York Times, The Guardian, Süddeutsche Zeitung, or some other reputable newspapers when I have the time and nothing better to do.

So I decided to do my research. Cambridge Dictionary told me that Zionism was "a political movement that had as its original aim the creation of a country for Jewish people, and that now supports the state of Israel" which sounded more than reasonable to me, I could 100% get behind that myself. This left me even more confused as to why everyone was freaking out. At that point, I knew that there was a war in the Middle East but I didn't pay much attention to it. But by that point I was so invested in finding out what started this witch-hunt that I decided to sacrifice some time I didn't really have and dig deep into the topic.

Since my knowledge of the history and politics of the Middle East was close to nill at that point, I just knew that it'd been very tense and very messy ever since I could remember, I had to do a lot of reading, and I quickly realised that the situation was extremely complicated. The whole region was a ticking time bomb and I couldn't think of any potential solution to the problem. In other words, I still don't think there was any chance of this not turning into an armed conflict sooner rather than later.

Armed with this new knowledge, I then returned to tumblr, thinking that people were upset that Noah was making a joke about the war, which is perfectly understandable. Instead I found out that the woke American left was now supporting terrorists. Which was an interesting development, to say the least. More terrifying was the realisation that they were getting all their information from Islamic sources, including the Hamas itself, because the West is apparently evil now (neo-orientalism, anyone? just me? okay...) and can't be trusted. Also, the Jews are responsible for that because they're controlling the governments and the media and basically everything else? Correct me if I got that wrong, I'm not very good at conspiracy theories, they confuse me, but I think that's what a lot of people are implying?

Let's take a moment to let it sink in: people believe everything a terrorist group tells them (see sources at the end if you have any doubts that that's what they are) as opposed to consulting different sources from various places where the press are reasonably free to tell the truth... Not only that, they are now "rooting for" Hamas (it's a war, not a football match, but fine) and, on the more extreme end, want to see Israel destroyed. In the same breath, with no sense of irony, they renounce genocide and praise the Nazis (which is what I actually wanted to talk about, but this has got too long, so more on those charming chaps, their modern counterparts, and how the far left has become the far right in my next post).

As for Noah, I find the post itself rather off-putting but not the fact that he might support Zionism (in its original form; people on this site seem to have redefined it and now I see it used as an insult, but I can't for the life of me figure out what you think it means, not to mention that none of you can actually agree on what it means, so I'm just going to stick to the original definition, thank you very much). But he's 19 and teenagers will always be teenagers, they rarely stop to think before doing or saying something. If he was 20 years older than he is, I'd think he should know better, but I've seen kids (and many adults) do much dumber, not to mention dangerous (as in could actually get them and/or other people killed), things in real life. I've done much dumber things myself. It's just that the most of us have the privilege of doing those dumb things in private, without millions of people analysing our every move.

Sources:

EU list of external terrorists (see 9 on p. 6); for more information, including criteria for listing, see this

An article from The Guardian from July 2017. Especially interesting:

The US classifies Hamas as a terrorist organisation, although in the UK it is not banned in its entirety. The Home Office’s list of proscribed groups only includes its military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, for their “aims to end Israeli occupation in Palestine and establish an Islamic State”.

US list of FTOs (Hamas designated as a FTO on October 8, 1997)

@gambitsdesire said: ' this is when a thank you would be in order ' heather @ noah!

“Oh,” he whispers in surprise. It still throws him off when strangers address him directly, after so long remaining unseen except for a select few people. He hastens to reassure her with a “Thanks, of course. Sorry, I... didn’t mean to ignore you.”
