How do you pronounce the name "Berthold" in German?

BARE-told

How do you pronounce the name "Berthold" in German?
open "e" [e] (as in "fence")


and [t] instead of "th" (as in "tank")


closed [o] as in "loft" or "porridge"
Reply:behrt-holt, with the accent on the first syllable.


It's like Gunther, which is pronounced gunt-her.
Reply:Be (the "e" pronounce it as in atEntion) + j (a gutural rrrr, like a cat))+ told+ bje (same "e" as before, and a fast gutural "rrr") + sh (like when you tell someone to shut up) + t (like Tennis, with the "t" only)





be j told b je sh t
Reply:Berthold
