Such a noob question

This is such a noob question but it bothers me.

....... whats the correct pronunciation of cichlids(yes I know noob). I cant rap my tiny afrikaans brain around it and everyone I speak to pronounces it differently.

According to Wikipedia its ( /ˈsɪklɨd/) <------ that does not help me

 

Yes, sick lid.

 

Ai haha I always said chil lid

 

I have always called them Chick Lids

 

Sean J has it right. Its Sik Lid. Not really possible to be Chik Lid as then it would be spelt Chichlid.

 

Haha i'm in the same boat as you.

 

Chick lid sounds much better but I've also done some research on it. Sick-lid. Sick ey?

 

When I initially saw the name, I thought to myself "kitch-lid". :tongue: That's english for you. Chick-lid does sound cool though.

 

So you guys all watch movies at the chinema? Get your groceries at the shopping chentre?

 

Anyone here play the cello?

 

Haha. Touché[h=3][/h]

 

You made my day haha. Sulke name en latyns is nie vir die afrikaanse tong nie, sjoe

 

Me too :laugh: you learn something everyday

Hmm everybody must think I'm a dumb a$$ :stupid: ahaha

 

And it's Goo - rah - me....not Je - ra - me..... Get's my goat every time.... lol

 

Bwhahahahahahahahhahaha @azurekoi, thanks that was a very needed giggle!

 

I want to pop a valve when I browse a LFS and someone strolls in looking for Koo-rah-me :motz::alberteinstein:

 

@Double-D - Koo-rah-me is still better than Je-ra-me any day.... lol - other horrors are l-owch-is in stead of low-ches - personal pet hate with my prediliction to the loach family... Sometimes Go-be's become Gow-bies....lol
