pronounciation of Imre?
How do you pronounce the Hungarian name Imre? I know it says EEM-re on the site, but that sort of confuses me. Is it just "IM-re" or something else?

EEM-re. IM-re is just the anglicized pronounciation.

I think it's simply IM-reh.Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the lights
