How do you pronounce his youngest son’s name in English?
The name is ‘Thijis’. What kind of nick name? ‘Thajt’?
I think Matt’s ex is from Holland.

I just googled because I wanted to know the same thing. Apparently it is pronounced “tijis”, as in litigious. And is short for Matthew. Don’t ask me how.

See post 54.

Even if it were spelled "Thijis", which it is not, it would be short for "Matthias", and pronounced "ma-TY-iss." But it is "Tijs", and pronounced "TY-iss."
