Much easier than it looks. My two Polish house mates agree that it is: Show-ek.

(The middle l is not really an l - it's one of those Polish ls with a little cross through it, pronounced like an English w. And the initial W - which would normally be pronounced like an English V - is silent because it's followed by an sz.)

Simples.

"And the initial W - which would normally be pronounced like an English V - is silent because it's followed by an sz."

Nitpicking here but I'm born Polish (raised British) and to me this is a bit iffy. You could say it's effectively silent for practical conversational purposes because it's very soft - vshow all in one quick go - rather than a laboured separate syllable, but as far as I've ever known there is no construction where it fully disappears as such. Maybe it's all changed now though, I dunno.

Anyway if you say Show-ek you'll be quite alright. Carry on...

Mrs Northolt_R is a Polka and she tells me it does indeed include a softly pronounced v at the front. So vShowek....just in case anybody is remotely interested. The 'show' bit is pronounced the way we'd say it. Pavel is easier though. Easier than her brother's name anyway which is Kryzysiek...Christ it's like a totally different language to ours!!! Oh btw his name is pronounced 'sheeshick' which sounds a bit like a pisshead saying seasick.

That "soft V" is never going to work in a chant though, is it? Whereas Show-ek, Show-ek, Show-ek, Show-ek works well in a number of favourites, not least the Amazing Grace tune - or is that reserved for Chery?
