It's a smidgen scratchier than normal today, I have a tickle in my throat. I just hope it doesn't develop into some sort of illness...

I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to hear it. The volumne is way low on mine. I can hear other things, though.

Its the perfect voice for a narrator of a movie trailer or something. You should see if you can be the announcer for the Ender's Game movie trailer when one is needed.

The first way is how I hear it in my head when I'm reading it. I'm sure I butcher it when I say it, though. Sorry.

Wow, you Canadians sure spell funny. I always thought it was pronounced Ra-ja. Oh well...with your voice, you can always come down and get a national television newsanchor spot. NBC and CBS have openings.

One of the a's in Raja is the same as one of the a's in asparagus. I leave it to you to decide which a's, though, because my memory is only so good.

Played it on my desktop computer with the speakers.
I'm sure I would have anglicized without knowing better, but having heard it, I'm positive I can say it correctly. Posts: 13680 | Registered: Mar 2002

I bet that there are more people here who can say it right than there are in the general population. Obviously I'll have to start going to more Hatrack gatherings! Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

By the way, correct pronunciation of someone's name can be important when casting spells. Thanks for sharing.
