How do you pronounce ogre?

Answer 1

To most angliphonic speakers, the Norwegian pronounciation of "Norge" sounds like:-

NAHR-i-geh

Think of the word "Florida" in terms of the stresses, syllables and timing.

Replace the "Flo" part with "Nahr" (rhymes with 'car').

keep the "i" part the same.

Replace the "da" part with "geh"

So "NAHR-i-geh" = Norge. ............. Nor(i)ge(h)

Last thing to be aware of; The 'g' is quite soft. On it's way to being a 'y'. So it's somewhere in between "NAHR-i-geh" and "NAHR-i-yeh".

PS..... The Swedes pronounce that 'g' as a 'y', so "Norge" in Swedish (spelled the same) is pronounced "NAHR-i-yeh".

Answer 2
