And I'd really love to hear you all as you try to guess how to pronounce that.

d'vay d'votchkey?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

    :-))

    "d" and "v" is clear I think, "ě" is read like "ye" in "yellow". "d", "v" is clear, "o" seems to be clear as well, "j" is read like "y" in "yellow", "t" is clear, "e" is not silent, "č" is like "ch" in "chocolate", "k" is clear and "y" is read like "i" in "bit".

      So more like: d'v-ye d'voy-tesh-ki?

        Yes. 'ch' rather than 'sh' though. "two doubledots".
