Hi all,
I hate sounding like a dork when trying to pronounce various violinists names etc.
Can anyone tell me how "Sevcik" is pronounced?
I've been told to pronounce it as Sev-chick.
- Wenhao Sun
SHEW-chick ???
That's really weird...The only way I've ever heard it pronounced is SEV-chick...
sev-chick.
Sev-check. This is hilarious:)
i typed it like they had it. those are 2 capitol Vs, not a W
I wondered if that was the case, but then when I typed two Vs into this box, they looked like two Vs. Not like this VV. ;)
I say Sev-jik
:D Now that makes more sense...
actually i thought it's pronounced "bun-ny"
I love V.com.
Try this out. It helped me once when I did a radio show.

oops..I see someone already listed this. Oh well, it is nice to hear the words instead of just seeing a pronunciation guide.
And Daniel be sure the put the emphasis on the second N, so it's bun-Ny
- Wenhao
I think there's a little accent mark above the first S. I believe it's supposed to be Shev-chik
not according to my dictionary "the bunny pronouncing dictionary"
One of my friends has the same last name, and it's pronounced SHEV-chick
something totally non music related to pronounce.
Kejimkujik.
KAY-YIM-KOO-YIK?
not even close :)
is that hungarian?
is it pronounced BU-nny
lol. nope!
