Some pronunciation tips

I'm not so great with French, but I thought I'd share some tips on marketing and advertising words from other languages...

  • Denuo = "deh NOO" (Latin)
  • Jaiku = "y'eye  KOO" (Finnish)
  • Joost = "JOO ced" (Dutch, contrary to YO st)
  • Wieden = "WHY den" (German, contrary to WEE den)

Then again, English is my native language so what do I know?  Help me out here or offer tips on your own favorites.

Interesting... I always thought it was pronounced like "haiku" because the posts were short and concise, but said a lot.

I think I like my pronunciation better.

Well, that's the way I heard it from a Finn. Your made-up explanation fits well though.
