Jon-sir'd or Jon-sir-red

[Freudianfloyd]

Simple question, which way do your pronounce the Jonsereds?

I've heard it both ways, but would like to know the proper way.

I had a Swedish friend who pronounced it; yawn-sir-eed.

Yon-sa-red

 

[Huskybill]

Either way they cut good, Swedish saws rock.

The J is pronounced Y- after that, depends on who you are holding a conversation with as to how you handle the onsered bit.

 

[RiverLogger]

Yon se ruud

Gotta defer to the most Swedish non-Swede I can think of @Tor R

The company's take is to pronounce the "J":



Perhaps there is a company-made Youtube video made in Swedish...which takes a different view.

Makes me crazy

Popular with the Scandinavian descendants here in Minnesota, and there was some connection to the former US distributor.
Old timers always pronounce it plural: 'Jonsereds', which is how it is labeled on older saws.
Many also used the 'Jonserudes' or 'Yonserudes' pronounciation, similar to 'Evinrude' outboard motors.

Of course, now it is a subsidiary of 'Hoos-kah-varna'!

Same with Jotul stoves. Is it Joestool, or yo tuul

 

[SawTroll]

Jon se red, tending towards Jonn se red.

Jon se red, tending towards Jonn se red.

Good to see you 'Sawh Trohle'!

There aren't really any Jotul stoves (as far as I know) - the brand name is Jøtul, and should be spelled Joetul if you don't have an ø (or ö) in your alphabet. There is no substitute for an ø/ö in pronounciation though.

This may of course be inconvenient for marketing on some markets, so they may be bending the truth (brand name) a little?
