Ij is pronouced eye isn't it? I'd go with Rokereye. (rokerij translates to rockery as well I think)

Rokin is Smoking right?
Is it not like, The Smokery?

I may just be too high, lol.

I say Rock-er-aye, but with a dodgey Dutch porn accent

Just been trying a few of the translators and 1 came back as Smokehouse.

right boner!

ij = eye
ui = ow

its not 100% correct, but its not wrong either, try to listen, how the locals pronounce the words and you will be perfect soon... the best way to learn it is like with every other language, speak to the people

i think churchill is wrong on that one, i once saw an ad for a movie with uma thurman in french tv, after i heard, how they pronounced her name i had trouble finding the remote under all the blood that was dripping from my ears...

i pronounce it rokereye as well... not sure if im right or not but i dont really care. i figure im close enough

sure! i was talking about the "sound" of the language, im from germany.. even if i would speak dutch fluently, i wont sound like a local.

i think you cant write the pronounciation in english 100% correct, but its very close
