    Dumme Frage, aber wie spreche ich den Namen dieses Gerichts richtig aus? Ich denke, die Amerikaner machen es falsch

      Käsespätzle. In oralism (according to google): ˈkɛːzəˌʃpɛt͡slə

      Edit: oralism is wrong. It should be phonetics

      Depends who you ask, a bavarian is gonna say it different than a saxonian

      For an American, from a native English speaker:

      Shh-*pehts*’-luh.

      The “shh” at the beginning is something many Germany speakers do automatically, so many of the versions here don’t include it.

      And it’s also not “pets,” but a bit more like “eh” like the Canadian or Minnesotan “eh?” The “luh” at the end exists, but isn’t heavily stressed.

      As an American, I can confirm that Americans say this wrong: SPAET-sel.

      Even my wife and I, who both speak German pretty well, and who make our own Spätzle pretty often, typically fall back on how we grew up hearing it called.

      Idk how Americans say it, and you’ve got loads of answers already, but I’m tipsy and here’s my guide:

      Sh-pets-leh

      (I see people saying „luh“ at the end, but that would be wrong for my accent. Its „eh“ like the start of „Emily“, and not „uh“ like „unlikely“.)

      Source: am half German and am very fluent, although my first language is english

      (Edit: also, it’s *is* like „pets“ the word, I can’t imagine another way of pronouncing „pets“ that would make it wrong.

      English speakers have a habit of adding too much of a „-y“ sound when saying words with umlaut. For example, it’s „sh-pets-leh“ and not „sh-payts-leh“. That’s an exaggeration, but my point is, there’s no „ay“ sound with the „-y“ in „ä“. It really is „sh-pets-leh“)

      (Speaking Hochdeutsch, of course. I don’t know regional dialects)

      Americans get so may things wrong at the moment, pronunciation of kaesespaetzle should be the least of their problems l

      „Kässpätzle“ is pronounced like this:

      K – as the first sound of „kind“
      ä – as the „e“ in „american“
      s – a hissing s like in the word „silent“
      s – as the initial sound of the word „sheesh“
      p – as in the word „prom“
      ä – see above
      tz – as in the name „Fritz“
      le – as in the word „left“

      In Austria in the tirolean dialect we pronounce it Kasspatzin. So kot even close to Hochdeutsch lol

      It’s easy, just get a bavarian and ask him to pronounce it everytime you need it.
