I am sorry for posting this post on the wrong forum - I was under impression that "Pronunciation" forum is used for English pronunciation only, hence my choice of German forum.

@ is "at", even in German :-)

You will never hear "Klammeraffe" or silly expressions like that in any business environment or in the media. That's like calling it "thingy", "thingamajig", or "whatchacallit".
You asked for the pronunciation, not cutesy colloquial synonyms, I assume? The pronunciation is the same as in English.

Except with a heavy German accent, it's more likely to sound like "et" (as in "wet")

Some of my colleagues call it Strudel as it looks like the famous Austrian pastry!

Schnulle

That's how we called it in the early nineties. Back then when this symbol couldn't be found on German Macintosh keyboards and still had to be copied from the special characters table.

elephant trunk
Feb 10, 2010
In Danish they say "snabel a", pronounced something like "snayble a", a as in hat. Snabel is an elephants trunk. I have not lived in Denmark since 1982, so when I heard this the first time I could hardly believe it. That might have changed since. Danes are very prone to use English words, so they might use another term now. Any current Danes out there with a siggestion?
