You know, despite knowing this is a German based site, I completely did not consider anything but an English pronunciation of Knuffel. meaning I've been saying it with a silent K
I'll have to dig into some sound examples to get an idea of pronunciation though, as my entire experience with German was limited to part of a Rumpelstiltskin play in German

I still say it with a silent K myself because having a K there sounds really strange to my English ears XD Not like anyone will hear me who knows any different haha~

I think firn mentioned somewhere that knuffel was pronounced exactly like it's written: k-n-oo(but short)-f-e-l. it was a looong time ago, though

Only one solution: my laptop is haunted~~~ 
Oh no, you have to call an exorcist then!
I already cancelled it, but I think it was on "sender filling the chest" so I don't think you actually entered a password
Nyuu wrote:The K indeed is not silent! Knuffel in dutch has two meanings; teddybear and hug
Aww, I love both, now I'm gonna call my knuffel "teddies" or "huggies", or even "huglings" XD What am I doing with those words, omg XD
@Serra: I think this would be a helpful sound? Just click the "listen" button in the first window, not the second.

I say knuffel both ways XD I mean, when I talk about them in Polish, the K doesn't sound off at all, so I say it the proper way, but then I switch to English, and I say it with a silent K XD #habits

Well that's not quite as scary then XD
It's funny~ I bet we all say each other's usernames differently as well.
