Little help needed - Thank you!

[Venus]

Hi,

my little brother got the assignment to list famous daily newspapers from all around the world. As a good big sister, I agreed to help him by asking here. So, which are the most famous or most common daily newspapers (not magazines and stuff) in your home country?

Thanks in advance
V.

I'd say "Helsingin Sanomat" is the most popular Finnish newspaper.

[Ishmael]

Finland:
- Helsingin Sanomat
- Iltalehti
- Ilta-Sanomat
- Aamulehti
- Etelä-Suomen Sanomat
- Keskisuomalainen

Someone might have a few to add or to remove, but those are the most popular ones I can think of.

And damn you Pablo ._.

[Ubel]

Also "Pohjolan Sanomat" is quite popular in the northern parts Finland.

[Tuomas]

I'd say there appears to be no more countries than Finland... Was about to say those myself, but someone...oneS were too quick

[Dambuilder]

In Germany:

- Bild
- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ)
- Sueddeutsche Zeitung (SZ)
- Die tageszeitung (taz)
- Die Welt
- Berliner Zeitung
- Handelsblatt

Can't think of anymore right now.

The most popular one that i can think of for NY State is The New York Post (I believe that is the correct title), and there is another one too, but i can't think of its name off the top of my head.

There's also The Buffalo News, which is the largest newspaper in Western New York.

[Babar]

Pakistan-
Jang
The News
Dawn

Egypt-
The Egyptian Gazette

[Venus]

Thanks for all the fast replies. Just keep them coming.

@Pablo, Ishmael and Tuomas: How are they pronounced? Just in case, my brother needs to read them out loud in class tomorrow.

In Boston(America), some of the most popular newspapers include the New York Times(Surprising if you consider the sports emnity between MA and NY), and the Wall Street Journal.

[auhsor]

Australia:
* The Daily Telegraph
   - The Sunday Telegraph (the sunday version)
* The Age
* Sun Herald
    - The Sydney Morning Herald (the sunday version)

I'm sure there are more but we only get one of the sunday papers each week.

[Mr Flibble]

In Britain (UK)

* The Times

(I'm not going to list The Sun because its not a newspaper. It needs news to be a newspaper. What it is, is a Sport and Pron Paper.)

In Northern Ireland, The Belfast Telegraph.

[Becky]

Also in the UK:

The Guardian
The Independent

In Estonia:

- Eesti Ekspress

Finland:
- Helsingin Sanomat = with hard G as in "go" and a sharp "S"Ã,  "sleep". then just mumble. Intonate the first syllaples as in HEL-sin-gin SA-no-mat. but not too clearly, finnish is quite passive language( we move the tongue as less as possible )

- Iltalehti = make the h sound, don't swallow it as in English. And hard T letters too. Intonate on IL-ta-lEH-ti, as in not the l -letter...

- Ilta-Sanomat = Again, the "sanomat" -word with sharp "s"
Well, you know the ilta and the Sanomat...

- Aamulehti = This one's easy... stretch the "a" as it is doubled and should sound like that. The the intonation is on AA-Mu-leh-ti, we tend to swallow the end, but not always... no intonation on the "lehti" then. or then again some might, but as it comes from Tampere, and I'm from there too, so...

- Etelä-Suomen Sanomat.. wow, hard one... don't use this one. But if you insist, E-TE-lä-Suo-men -SA-no-mat... remember the "s" in front phenomenon. Oh, and trhe first twoÃ,  words are said together, don' tmind the - there, it's just the writing style

- (Keskisuomalainen) I think no-one seriously reads this one It's a tiny paper only in the central Finland... or big in Finnish scale...Ã,  But if you will, point out the "uo" combination, after all, they are different letters. You might divide it into Keski Suomalainen, but it should be said together. intonation goes KES-ki SUo-ma lai-nen... And btw, this paper sucks. no real news, I mean the reprters are bad...

I mightÃ,  say: the most important thing is to pronounce the letters as letters individually. As a formula driver says, tö roud vas veri slipöri, änd I häd tu gou tu tö pit. Think how to pronounce this... (the road was very slippery, and I had to go to the pit). You see the way thing sare roughly pronounced.

Then the a, e, i, o, u, y (lucky there's none of these) å, ä, ö... make the difference sound in them.

A = car.. so say "car", there is no other way to pronounce a in Finnish.
E = message... try out the 1st E in the word message. that's the only way to say it.
I = here's the trick. try "teeth", "week", and the "it", and you get the point. English E may sound like the finnish i, but Finnish E may never!
O = "dog", nothing else, not "go", not "fool", butÃ,  "floor", the only way
U = here "fool"... Also the ou, as in you is a match... but no other way.
Y = this is hard, there's no word in English in which this would appear, matches the German letter ü... Actually there's no such voice ever heard in English text, so...
Å  = comes from Sweden, and is always and forever the same as Finnish O.. the difference only exists in Swedish...
Ã,, = Imagine the word "that" then say "thaaaaaaat" with the back of your throat, as in A the tongue is flat, but here it is closer to the "roof", with mouth wide.
Ö = dark voice... the bear says mörrrrr... comes from the nack of throat too, close to O with the same principle as in the latter. but this time , lips tight forming an O on themÃ,  :o this way. can' tfind a word to help pronouncing this either...

And the c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r.... are hard and clear... uh., oh, I got excited, well, this should help at least a bit.

@ everybody: Thanks for all the replies. If you have anymore, feel free to add them. My brother's going to be the star of tomorrow's lesson 

@Tuomas: Thanks. Didn't think it was this complicated. I've already started practising  . These are really great tipps. Can't thank you enough.
Concerning the "ö", we have it in Germany as well and as you describe it, it's probably pronounced the same.
Finish sounds rather cool, imo. Definitely something I might consider learning someday. Got me curious 

[Tuomas]

Well, then. I wondered where you came from... believe me, referring to German word would have been much easier if I knew you were german Aber es war doch ein supergut Englischübung für mich.. so lernte ich meine Englisch zu entwickeln, or something like that

[Ishmael]

In Finnish it's the same as in German, the words are pronouced letter-by-letter. Though we pronounce some letters differently. And we don't have at all that many exceptions for letter combinations.

You're not the first German in whose awakening of interest towards our language I have been more or less directly or indirectly involved :

Y is pronounced like the like the very first vowel sound in it's German pronouncing. [ypsilon], or however the pronouncing key is written, but singulary read the sound is longer, like the example of Ã,, with 'thaaat'.
