Talk:Tomáš Kopecký

Can someone please tell us how to pronounce his last name???
The commentators pronounce it Kopesky. Then Kopeckney ... Would it not just be CO-PECK-EE??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.10.41 (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The correct pronunciation is CAW-pets-key. (Short but stressed first syllable.) The last 4 letters are pronounced in the same way as in the name of the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky, so it's mystifying that anyone should get the pronuncation wrong. (Particularly bothersome in the case of Marek Židlický.) -cký in all its spelling varieties is a common ending among Slavic surnames. --Faterson (talk) 19:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
