Pronunciation of Tor-Ivar in Svolvær, Nordland County, Norway
²toor-EEvuhr
The correct pronunciation of the -o- in Tor has no equivalent in English; the closest would be the very formal, dark o/oo sound as can be heard in older, upper-class English speakers, such as in ‘Moore’; it does not rhyme with ‘more’.
I- in Ivar rhymes with ‘bee’.
-var in Ivar rhymes with ‘car’.
The Rs are always pronounced.
Note: Norwegian is a primary-tone language. Tor-Ivar is pronounced with tone 2 (shown with the superscript two above): If Eastern Norwegian, it is low-rising-rising; if Western/Northern, it is low-high-falling.
