How do you pronounce Dijkstra?
How do you pronounce Dijkstra?
Dike-Stra
dyke-stra
Di-ch-stra
The closest sound in english to the dutch 'ij' is something like 'ai' (as you hear in ice), although that isn't quite correct, but it's the best I can come up with atm. So it'd be D[ai]kstra.
I had this same question when learning Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. Witcher 3 Geralt pronounces Dijkstra incorrectly, so I was called out.
Jeekstra, because I am retarded
Dike - stra
dɛi̯kstra
As a Dutch person I can confirm this
Only thing I would add is that the r in stra is pronounced slightly different in Dutch than in English.

ˈdɛJkˌstra
Dick-stra
There isn't really a prononciation in english for the dutch 'ij'
t. belgian
There is, the i in dike or like is pretty much the same.
The r is different though, Americans pronounce the r in the front of their mouth while Dutch people pronounce it from the back of their troath, hard to explain
okay dikestra is dutch dutch, in flemish it's more like deikstra, not dikestra
Dijkstra is not flemish though, it's Dutch
It depends on dialect desu
lmao
Dike = i as in Mike?
this.
