Originally posted by WildfireWell, that's a bit difficult, because the "y"-sound doesn't exist in English. The first part ("nord", which means "north" ) sounds approximately like "noor", "oo" as in "boot". For the second part ("lys", which means "light" ), I think the closest you can get with English sounds would be "lees", "s" as in "see". The "y"-sound is somewhere between English "ee" and French "u" or German "ü".
