- aluhut 10y agoI was wondering indeed. It's not an easy polish name but always funny to see what happens to them in the US.
- Grazester 10y agoMy wife and I have fun times pronouncing it. I swear each time we pronounce the name it sounds a bit different from how we previously pronounced it. It usually sounds like a variant of the latter way you stated however
- donretag 10y agoI have been pronouncing it the same way 1010WINS pronounces it. Traffic updates decades before Waze!
