Re: surname Czajka
in reply to a message by eien
I don't know how to write it down phonetically in English, but it would be something like this:
ch+eye+ka
"cz" is like "ch" in "church"
"aj" is like "eye"
stress the first syllable and you've got a lapwing in Polish.
Here's some extra help on Polish pronunciation: http://www.math.nyu.edu/~wendlc/pronunciation/Polish.html
