How do you pronounce Tsimikas? Silent T?

Google translate makes it sound like mostly a 'sss' sound but with a hint of a 't' - similar to how someone said earlier, like the 'ts' in 'cats'.

I just keep thinking of tzatziki

Welcome Kostas! I can't say anything about this signing until I've seen him play of course but seems to be a pretty good left back.

T is not silent.

I was only starting to get my head around Lewis and the club goes and does this. Bastards.

I got this of the web. We need an answer
“
K-O-S-T-A-S T-S-I-M-I-K-A-S.

It's pronounced like 'sim-EEK-us', with the emphasis on the second syllable.”

Sorry mate but I'm afraid you'll be getting called almost exclusively by your first name

Very good signing, at a very good price. Edwards strikes again.

'Tz' is a j-ish sound (because they don't have a J), my girlfriend calls it something like 'jhajhiki'.

Could be regional differences mind, she's from Athens.

It’s ‘Simmy’ with a sprinkling of T before the S like you’re whispering the T

Like tzatziki but that’s useless if you don’t know how to say that either!

Samie · « **Reply #132 on:** August 10, 2020, 10:59:38 pm »

From Paul Joyce's article, We could pay him in Sadio's position on occasions.

Tsimikas, who was a left winger before being converted into a full back by former Greece international Grigoris Georgatos in the Olympiacos academy.

Nice video from Olympiacos youtube page, plus for anyone wanting to hear his name prounounced - it’s said a couple times in this vid!

Such a great day for the lad. Imagine waking up and realising that you’ve joined the World Champions and Klopp is your manager and mentor.

Delighted that we appear to have picked up a talented, like for like backup for Robbo. One more reason to be confident for the new season.

If he ends up half as good as Djimi, we'll be even more dominant next season.

Never heard of him a week ago, but it sounds like he ticks all the right boxes. Looking forward to seeing him help us fill our trophy cabinets further over the next few years

Welcome Kostas, we haven't had a Greek player for a long time. Now it is a about time.

Nice misdirection again by the club. We have become absolute masters at this.

Excellent signing, hope he has designs on more than a bit part and keeps Robbo on his toes.

Needs to work on retaining his balls. Hopefully Klopp can help him with that.

Im a bit old fashioned about fullbacks & so seeing he has excellent tackling ability(if thats what the graph means) brings a smile to my face. Mind you seen his crossing on a few highlights is just like watching robbo whip em in.

I like how we were linked to him less than 24 hours before we signed him. Nice quiet business from us again.
