BanburyRed Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Major Isewater said: Poor bugger , hand injury . You couldn’t make it up . Stoke have signed yet another keeper to replace the replacement ! The Potters made a move for Lonergan after Niki Mäenpää, who joined the Club last week in a short-term deal, picked up a hand injury in training. Not so much 'Heart of Glass' as 'Hand of Glass'.....

They indicate that two connected vowels are sounded separately. Except that in Finnish the ä and ö are completely separate letters with a different sound to a and o, you wouldn't confuse a, b, c, d in English and you shouldn't confuse a, o, ä, ö in Finnish. The ää is simply a long ä, as ii is a long i in Finnish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like you know what you're talking about, whereas - to be honest - I was guessing a bit, based on how an Estonian I know pronounces his surname, Estonian being a related language and all. Nonetheless, I am correct that they are not umlauts. Umlauts completely change the vowel sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hxj Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Blame a young Finnish lady many many moons ago. I think that Estonian has the same additional letters as Finnish, plus a few more they add in to the party. Definitely not any umlauts or any other marking to differentiate pronunciations of the original letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Injured for the full term of his emergency contract at Stoke. Shock. And people were arguing we should’ve offered him a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think that’s a reason not to hope that your club hangs on to decent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this is the reason he hasn't been number 1 for a while. Modern day Billy Mercer. Back to the drawing board for Stoke.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Judging just by defensive confidence he is by far the best we have had recently, our youth player will step up soon and show Bentley how it’s done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
