How to pronounce Marseille
Hi, can a German please tell me how was Jochen Marseille’s surname pronounced. In french and English, it is “mar-say”. But would germans pronounce it differently. His nickname was “seille”, pronounced “say” or “sale” ?

His mates wouldn't call him that, the media did.
I'm still asking how to pronounce his surname in German

In german, you pronounce Marseille almost as in french or english. But a non french-speaking german
pronounce it a bit more like mar-see, a german familar with french pronounce it more like mar-say.
Noone would pronounce it Mar-sale. Same for his nickname, its pronounced like say or sey.
