| Beeva sounds right, that is how I was pronouncing it - thinking as they originated in Germany the W would sound like a V

| Wow good thread. I had no idea I was saying it wrong. I said Bu-wer, like Buick.

| My boyfriend's brother in law is from Germany and I had him pronounce it and it sounded like a combination of Biva and Beaver. Even with that I still don't think I'll ever pronounce it 100% correct and when I do most people look at me like she is a what? So I have to explain. |

| I asked one of our German forum members to pronounce it for us and she made a little video...not sure where that is now though. Anyway, she said it can be pronounced 2 different ways...one is Biva like Diva and the other almost sounds like Beaver but you swallow the 'r' on the end...if anyone can explain that to me please feel free I have Biewers and I pronounce it Biva...but...no matter how it's pronounced I still have to explain what they are and where they came from. |
