Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Posted June 13, 2003 Can anyone clarify why books say to pronounce Sat Nam as "but mom," and I hear KY teachers greeting each other "sot mom?" Is there a difference? Please explain. Thanks, Clark _____________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! Quote
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2003 Report Posted June 14, 2003 Hi Clark, Sat Nam can be, in my opinion, pronounced as - But Calm Sat Nam (But Calm!) Preeti SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc. Quote
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Posted June 16, 2003 Saught Nom!!! The "a" sound in "Sat" doesn't exist in our tongue so that is what makes it difficult to pronounce precisely. It is somewhere between the "u" in "sun" and the "aw" in "pawn" -- you could also say that it is pretty close to the "o" in "mold" but it is hard for our English mouths to isolate that sound. So we just make it easy on ourselves and say "Sutt" but if you would like to practice your Punjabi pronouniation you can fine tune it to how your teachers are saying it too!
