I meant the beginning of joy, not the 'o' of joy but nevermind.

Sorry, in dutch we have a word "punctueel", i thought it was the same in english/american. Nevermind. I dont wanna look it up.

You pronounce it like this:
J: pronounced as a 'y', but a 'y' like the beginning of 'young' (so its pronounced as a 'u', now that i think of it, but only the first part of a 'u', lol) complicated? Wait till you hear the rest.... O: the same 'o' as in 'hot' M: just a silent 'm' M: you have to pronounce the 2nd too E: like the word 'a' (a cup of tea, a word, a ...) K: like the beginning of 'key', you drop the 'eeee' E: here's that word 'a' again....
All together: JOM-ME-KE
ROTF Now, i would really love hearing you saying that!
