Took me way too long to notice this............. Anyway, Tsatsayka is coming in for a landing, insanity may ensue.... j/k.... or am I? +points to the sig+ that says it all. If you wonder why you should Fear the Dust Bunnies.... they steal socks and attack people who are asleep... Then blame the China Dolls for their actions.... So far I am the only one to see through their conspiracy! If you want to know what I am..... wait in that line over there, nobody else knows either Not even me! I Am An Enigma! I also use smilies alot, sometimes too much. You Are Now Warned.

Welcome, Tsatsayka! I think it'll be fun with you around. ;D Hope you like it here and I think you'll fit in great. Oh by the way, my name's Rosa, and I'm human. If you don't mind me asking, how do you pronounce your name? When I tried to pronounce it out loud, my tongue got tangled around my two eye teeth so I coundn't see what I was sayin! (Familiar phrase, I know.)

Yes..... I seem to be the only person who can pronounce it, lol.
Both the "t" and "s" are pronounced..... it's kinda like an explosive "s", or an "s" with a kinda 'click' like noise before it... They blend togather, though, so if you give up you can ignore the "t" and just say an "s"
It's actually a word from a language I made up (which I'll probably be the only person ever able to speak....) and the full thing is Tsatsayka Shoodaysakayless... It means, all togather, roughly "Hope in the Darkest Night". Not an exact translation, but close enough ;D

.....or at least, how I say it........ +hopes everyone else says it roughly the same way+

Kayless? Wasn't that the Klingon god? Tsatsayka is pronounciable to me, now you pronounciate Scheveningen. And It can't be Skeeveningen or Sjeeveningen. Americans (and many other nationalities) can't cough up the 'sch' sound as its used in Dutch. Its always amusing to make them TRY though... In WWII they even used words with a 'sch' as a password. It worked, most Germans couldn't say Scheveningen properly.

Let me take a crack at your name It sounds like to me like. sa - SAY - ka. At least that how my text to speech software pronounces it
And Kayless was a Klingon warrior. I remember Lt. Worf on ST: TNG saying something like that.

Greetings and welcome! Your name sounds very Russian to me. I say it as a TSST sound hissed through my front teeth, so it's Tsst-uh-tsst-uh-yucca.
The sound I can't pronounce is the N with a ~ over it. Tamith has tried and tried to help me say it, but there's no chance... I guess I need more practice!

Ohhhh so the great linguist wannabe can't pronounciate the Ñ? I will rememeber this. There are many fun things a Dutch person can make a foreigner say... One of the alltime classics is 'fietsendief', which means bycicle thief. Edit: Ok, I think I have it... I need to buy a My Little Pony in Spain with a nice Spanish name including that beautiful Spanish letter ñ. Kids can be bribed into learning things with toys, you can be bribed with European Ponies.

It's actually an AH, not UH and AY, like in hay/hey, shame and rain. Or te be technical, the dipthong of eh and ee. ;D the ñ.... +snicker+ I guess I shouldn't show you the sister langauge of the one 'tsatsayka' comes from, Essa Oothen is has full of ñ has Dessa Oothen is of 'ts'! Both of them sound really cool, though. (they are elven languages for one of my stories, though I end up making names with them for other stories alot too...)

Well despite the 'ñ', she's got a huge vocabulary of impossible words. If she wants to she can have an entire conversation with another philologist without me or anyone else with an average vocabulary being able to make out what is being said.

Lol, well, I can't claim that... Though I have had friends call me a living dictionary, heh. Though thinking of things I've said before.... I think Living Encyclopedia of Useless Information might be better...... lol (btw, I can be bribed with mlps too.... lol, and chocolate... and books ;D ... and shelves, with over two hundred books and 50 some mlps, I don't have enough shelves...)
