 We all love the Smurfs. But when I learned that, in english, they were called Smurfs, I was disappointed. It's really not as cool sounding as in french. Which name do you prefer?  -------------   RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

I still think the french name is the best. So many letters to create just one sound. Bravo!  ------------- RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

the original is generally the correct option , "schtroumpf" has a typical Belgian pseudo Wallon-Flemish taste so as not to piss off either. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Smurfene in norwegian and Smølferne in danish. But Les Schtroumpfs and Di Schlümpfe is way cooler.

In Croatian it's Štrumpf, the only 7-letter monosyllabic word that I know of.

Well, the french version has 10 letters and is still monosyllabic.  ------------- RIP in bossa nova heaven. |

Dutch, because Pierre Culliford (Peyo), the creator of the Smurfs, was a Belgian, and Dutch is the first language where the word "Smurf" has been used, instead of the original French word "Schtroumpf". So basically "Smurf" is a Dutch word .

It sounds pretty cool in German when said by a native speaker, and being a native speaker of French myself, I never had a chance to find Schrom... (heck I can't even spell it!) particularly cool. And for a couple of reasons, all my Smurfs books at home were in Danish anyway! |
