this is bugging me

just got to the ponderance that I was percieving an imaginary "R" in "schlage" (thought it was schlarge, call me english, whatever

)

(easily the dumbest question been asked yet)
my question, what exactly IS the pronounciation of schlage?

possibilities:
shlog
shlAyg <<looks like either this
shlAHg <<or this
sLAYge <<friend insists its this - no 'sh' sound at start, just 'sl'

thinks - *silly german derrived words*

This acutally isnt very dumb question..its a rather good one.
Im not 100% sure but i believe it is shlAHg.

Nope, i just checked up on it and its pronounced like 'shLAYg'. Your friend was wrong its more of an 'shl' sound at the start. If you wanna hear it foryourself go to http://consumer.schlage.com/ and click the button near the upper left hand corner.

Fall

by **frollard** » 30 Jun 2004 9:59

either fall or fahll

very similar sounds, just in one the 'h' in 'ah' is more enunciated.
