hi @vaporeon_ how do you think "meijer" is pronounced

@wallhackio Which language is that? :psyduck:

If I have to guess

mei yer
меи ер

Sorry, I don't know IPA

Or is the j supposed to be a "ж" sound? Or "дж"?

@wallhackio Then it might actually be "maiyer" маиер, like in German?

@vaporeon_ i am also unfamiliar with IPA but wikipedia gives says /ˈmaɪ.ər/

@wallhackio Oh, that's pretty close to what I was thinking, except more correct German phonetics than I was thinking in

@vaporeon_ meijer is a chain of grocery stores common in michigan

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ that second syllable should just just a rhoticized schwa (ɚ) but otherwise yeah
