Welcome to duijsens.com

We realize it is not easy to spell, pronounce, or even remember.

The <uij> combination is an old and obsolete way of writing <ui> in Dutch.

You will find it only in family names, or in old texts.

This is like saying the French "oeil" [œY] (which means "eye").

There is no English equivalent however.

You should pronounce a schwa [ə] (like "u" in "supply") followed by [Y] (like "y" in "yes").

And then, the ending is exactly the same as the word "sense" [sƐns], easy!

In short the pronounciation is [dəYsƐns].
