Listening to the MTV presenters prounounciation of Nordenstam has got be wondering what actually is the correct pronounciation ..........should it be NordenSTAM or NordenSTARM?

I've always gone with the former but maybe i've been getting it wrong for the last 13 years!

Stam, there is no r there

I was half expecting some wise-ass to come up with that!........only my money was on Mr. Soundworld Esq.

.............but do your pronouce it as if there is an 'r' there...............even when there isn't?

not at all


(How to say it in English...?)


Imagine the English name Stan, then replace the n with an m and add Norden.

And you got Nordenstam

I imagine there is a number of ways to pronounce it, but if the MTV person said "starm", then he/she messed up.

......and thats exactly how i've always pronounced it so thanks for the varification.

I guess that a more or less correct English pronouniation.

or maybe it's more like the worm ham (stam)

Stina should have listened to her record company people (I imagine), and gone by simply 'Stina'.

To be fair i think the on-vision female presenter did get it right but the female voice-over pronounced Nordenstam as Nordenstarm.
