Looks like we will have a new leader for the Liberal Party in Canada. His name is very hard to pronounce, so I thought I would post the pronunciation of his name here. If you still find this too hard, you can refer to him as Iggy.
ig-NAY-tee-eff
Michael Ignatieff

Je suis content que quelqu’un a donné la bonne réponse. Mes oreilles me font mal lorsque les correspondants à la télévision canadienne et québecoise disent Iniatieff, comme les lettres gn dans le mot champignon. Phonétiquement j’écrirais le son: Ig-nà-tieff . Il s’agit d’un nom russe qu’il faut donc prononcer à la Russe. Mes parents Russes se retourneraient dans leur tombes.
