And how is it pronounced??
2007-04-13 14:42:58 · update #1
It would mean something like "Against bad luck" or "Against misfortune" ..but it really depends a little bit on in what kind of sentence it's used.
Tegen = Against
Pech = bad luck, but it can also mean 'car trouble' for example.
lol, pronounced...ehhh..let's see. the "g" and the "ch" are pronounced as a hard, rolling G. I don't think you have that sound in an English word. It's something like the sound you make when you scrape your throat, right before you spit. Lol, i hardly can explain.
Tay-gen Peg .....and the "e" is pronounced as the "a" in and.
Sigh, just call me, and I'll pronounce it for ya :p

The actual words are 'tegen pest' pronounced as
'tegen pesh' in colloquil Dutch. It means
"in contact with a person or a thing that is a constant nuisance".

Markyyy's answer is right. His/her explanation about the pronunciation is quite strange though.
