How would you pronounce these?

Question

These are all german made products, and I must pronounce them different from other people.

Ebo jager....do you pronounce it ee-bo yager or jager?

And eheim...do you pronounce it i'm or ee-hime?

Answer 1

CC,

I've got four years of school German and been to Germany a few times.  The first one, I'd pronounce using German rules, the second seems to divert from it.

E's in German sound like an A in English, and J's have a sound like a Y.

So the first one I believe would be sounded like Abow Yager.

Second, I've always heard others speak of eheim pronounced like your second listing, e-hime.  In this case, the E doesn't sound like an A.  Also with German, when you have an ie combination in a word, you always pronounce whichever vowel comes second, so with the heim, you are pronouncing the I.
