How do YOU pronounce PPSh?

Do you say it as each letter individually or do you say it like a Russian would?

The Russian way would be (peh-peh-sha)

I say choose latter.

Well My language is spanish and i call it letter by letter according to the spanish letter pronunciation

PPSH (Pe-pe-ese-ache) or (Pe-pe-se-ache) but its less “”“”““formal””“”" by just a removing one “e”

Oh yeah the Spanish way sounds similar to the individual letter pronounced way but also similar to the Russian in a way too.

I call it letter by letter too, using the german pronounciation: [Pe-Pe-Es-Ha]

Best regards

I don’t think either way is wrong. If I could remember the full name, I would say that instead.

Ho-sz

In my language, we have special letter for its pronunciation

Š = sh

And the way I (and basically any other Czech guy) pronounce it is pa-pa-sha, (aka papaša) - not peh-phe-sha.

I pronounce it normally.

But it’s better for you not to know how Russians pronounce foreign words, your ears might bleed. And it’s not even about the accent.

By the way, this also applies to DShK. Personally, I burst into hysterical laughter when I hear Di - Es - Eich - Key. We say De - She - Ka.

I alternate between just pronouncing the letters on their own (“pe-pe-ess-hache”) in full, skipping the H (“pe-pe-es”) or saying “pa-pa-sha” (I think I picked it up from a American chap, which is reason enough not to use it but it stuck), it’s mostly the first one though.

I don’t say the letters in my native Swedish, because that would be silly… “peh-peh-ess-hoh”…

I might be mistaken and this is the right Russian way to say it as it sounds almost the same, I not a language/history major but the stuff interests me.
