Today's trivia quiz is:

How do the Czech's pronounce Skoda? Do they do something funny with that initial S with the little v on top of it?

Is the O pronounced as an 'oh' or more of an 'err'. I suspect we all pronounce it to rhyme with Soda. Maybe it's shkerrdah.

All opinions with any authority welcome.

Then we'll move on to whether we should pronounce it that way, as the 'native's call it. It could join "Porsha", "Folksvargen" and, you'll have to squint a bit, "Sit'rer'n" etc.

Third item is what Skoda means. I've just tried Google Translate and I get "Damage" as the translation, and that's with the funny S included. Somehow I doubt it. It's not letting me use that S as a capital, so now I'm really confused, which explains me in Budapest a couple of years ago.
