I've always pronounced it "teal" but I could easily be wrong.

Isn't that a german name calling for "teele" as pronunciation?

jean-paul · 11th May 2004, 07:27 PM

It is, but that is difficult to pronounce for english speakers. The short "e" at the end of the word is the problem. It is pronounced something between an "a" and an "e". When I think of it, the "e" in "when" is the correct one.
