How to Pronounce "Alde"
Bayliss
Member Posts: 1,496
I don't know about others on this forum, but I have noticed that people pronounce "Alde" differently. In the past, it was commonly pronounced "ALL-Dee" (or "AL-Dee.") Lately, however, I have been hearing it pronounced "ALL-Duh" or "AL-Duh."
In my quest for the correct pronunciation, I decided to contact Truma-Alde directly and get their input. I received a very prompt response, so I am sharing it with others. Using the Google translate link included in their response to hear it pronounced, is helpful. Just set it to translate Swedish to English.

RESPONSE FROM TRUMA:
This is my favorite question of the year! 
So many people, even at Truma, say it differently, because we are in the US, and Alde is from Sweden. It’s actually pronounced “Al-deh” which can come out more like “Al-Duh” when it’s said fast or lazily. You can put Alde into Google Translate for Swedish and it’ll pronounce it for you:
google translate - Search (bing.com)
I hope this clears it up!

For years we assumed 'Al-Dee' until the Truma rep @ uCamp repeatedly pronounced it to what we thought was 'Al-Duh' during his tech session. We will update our pronunciation to match your new info @Bayliss. Thanks...

I think they've been told by Aldi grocery to change their pronunciation.2017 T@B 320S 2019 Jeep Cherokee - Southern Connecticut

Not only is this a complicated system that is expensive to maintain but now the name is even difficult to correctly pronounce. And I’m of Swedish decent! NiCamp should just install the Truma Combi in the trailers and be done with it! Haha!2021 T@b 400 BD "Vixen Gail"
