This one drives me nuts:

"König" is NOT pronounced ko-nig. It's a German word. The two dots (umlaut) over the o changes it from an "oh" sound to a sound kind of like the "er" in the name "Gertrude." The "ig" at the end is, depending on what part of Germany you are from, either pronounced with a soft "h" in the back of your throat (think like the sound a hissing cat would make) sound, or like "ik," but it's probably better to say it the other way.

So, I don't know how to write it out phonetically, so just go ask a German person to say it for you. It means "king." That's why their logo is the crown [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Sorry to be long winded.

But hey, if the person selling them to you calls it ko-nig, you might as well too, right? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
