Pronunciation


Does anyone know how he pronounces his last name. I googled it and couldn't find out. I only recently learned how to correctly pronounce Noomi Rapace's name and I need to know how to pronounce his name since the Millenium Trilogy is definitely in my top ten movies.

it's like nick-vist

more like ny-kvist, where the "y" is pronounced like "y" in for example "Lydia", except you make it a little longer like Lyydia. I'm swedish btw.

sorry yeah that is absolutely correct, never thought to explain it that way
my background is swedish but i've lived in australia most of my life

reply

Ah, and how do you pronounce Noomi Rapace?

English is not my first language. Any corrections are welcome.

reply

I've heard Niels Arden Oplev pronounce it like N-oo-me Rap-a-s
the a is pronounce like how it is pronounced like a normal vowel
hopefully that makes sense...

reply

Sorry, but no, it doesn't...
I asked for the christian name Noomi, and there is no "a".
Rapace, pronounced the french way, is okay, my french is good, even the language :-)

English is not my first language. Any corrections are welcome.

lol yeah i was referreding to the a in Rapace since that it normally what people pronounce wrong
Noomi is difficult to describe
there's a little bit of saying the english word no and then it turns into an oo sound
perhaps it would be best if you youtube interviews with niels arden oplev, i'm sorry i cannot help with providing you a link
