How do you pronounce fuchs?
 
I had a moto-x bike years ago called PUCH
it was pronounced like pook--is it the same for FUCHS?

Foosh

This has come up several times and could have been answered by using the "search" button at the top right of your screen.

The answer is that it is pronounced like: Fooks.

Deutsche word meaning fox. We say fox; they say"foox" with long "o".

I believe that PUCH was a bike produced in Austria.
The end-CH is very gutteral, hard to describe.

Fooxs is close enough for FUCHS.
Singular is the same as plural since it's a brand-name:
1 Fuchs wheel
2 Fuchs wheels.

For the animal fox (Fuchs) it's different:
1 Fuchs
2 Fuechse

Want to try some French?
How about the car "Peugot"? :)
Can be fun.
Pjoogat? :D :D

Or would that be zwei? And what do you mean by "try French?"
sounds kinda personal.....................:D
Foox rock.:cool:

Is there a difference between Fooks and Foox? Sounds the same to me. :rolleyes:

nesslar 03-11-2007 10:32 AM

Yes. But you spelled it wrong. It's Schurche. Pronounced "schurcha", as in Porsche.

Fuchs kinda rhymes with cooks, books, looks, rooks nooks, hooks, brooks - though may vary depending on where in Germany you are I believe.

If only one wheel, it's one Fuchs, not one Fuch.

nesslar 03-11-2007 02:47 PM

Wrong.

cfc 03-11-2007 04:12 PM
