When I took Refuge a long time ago I was given the name
ཀརྨ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བློ་གྲོས་ (karma chos kyi blo gros)
The first word I understand, and doesn't confuse me. But the rest I have seen written as Choji Lodro, but also Chökyi Lodrö.
My questions are: how is the ji or kyi pronounced (kyi)? And the umlauted ö (chos, gros), is it like German/Swedish?

pronunciation of refuge name
~ Chökyi Lodrö
Re: pronunciation of refuge name
I have heard the umlaut ignored, lightly enunciated, as well as, over enunciated.
Not a linguist, but something like Ch oer ki (like chur key) and I have heard Cho ki (like Cho key).

Re: pronunciation of refuge name
The ji vs kyi difference is one of dialect, I believe the former is Khampa while latter is Central.chokyi lodro wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 3:44 pm When I took Refuge a long time ago I was given the name
