Tey-russ Ka-see

I'm almost positive that's the way you pronouce it in, Finnish was it? Saying it like ter-russ is just raping the finnish language, according to those friendly folk nice enough to correct me

Yeah, Teras Kasi is just Finnish for "Steel Hands" Literally. Nothing made up.


And it's "Ter-us/as" Cause-ee"

In Finnish:The "ä" with two dots over it sounds like the a in "at". The"k" & "t" are not aspirated. Stress is always on the first syllable.


So Teräs Käsi sounds something like TEHR-ass KASS-ee.


It's kind of hard for an English speaker to pronounce correctly, because in English, you typically don't make that "ä" sound in an unstressed syllable.
