In Estonian every letter is always pronounced the same way, so everything can be pronounced and everything has only one way how to pronounce it.

Doesn't remind me of Trix at all.. the colors are too dark.
Besides, I've hated Trix since they changed the flavor like ten years ago.
That'd be my first preference. SINK yoo luh.
As I remember Mom on the phone doing the spelling: "Sink, as in sink or swim; you, the letter u; la, l-a". Or something to that affect. Much, much later relatives told me the "correct" pronunciation is more like "sin KUH luh".
I just go by "Dave". And if the phone rings and people struggle with my last name, either me or my wife will toy with them like lepers.
*No lepers were harmed, nor none should be offended, I hope. I'm just lacking polically correct imagination at the moment.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
kveh - triks
sin - koo - luh
( And I'm not sure that my writing represents my spelling correcly... )

And no, it is not Vart, just vart
PS. And if you want the german prononsation, it should be like in the "warte" (Ich warte auf dich).

The German V can be pronounced either way, depending on the word.
