What am I thinking now? Well, I was going over the text of Little Women (just for a second though) and was distracted by the ad. Oh well, what can you do? Ads are necessary.
Cheers.

Shiva, is the name of a Hindu god.
They had known each other for twelve years, since when they were eight. Then one day, he asked her hand in marriage. She was like "How can you think about such a thing? We are just best friends.
He pondered about it a while....and thought that can't you make your life mate your best friend...and walked towards home sadly.

If only I could get a bed to sleep in...........
Oh, I knew that. I just didn't know that it was also possible to say just "Shiv" without the 'a'.

Yes, Shiv is actually the correct pronunciation, and 'a' is just a sound, which is sometimes added as an alphabet.
For eg: Rama and Ram are the same person, and correct pronunciation is Ram.
Is it pronounced liked it would be in English, especially the 'a'?

Only if the sound of 'a' is not that prominent. Try not using the letter 'a'; just add a slight effect of 'a' without making it like a complete letter.
Do not elongate 'a'; as in Shiv; when you have spoken 'v' jus add a little the sound of 'a' to it.
This will be correct proninciation in English too.
Oh, how I wish I could say it for you.
Me too.Thank you for the explanation though.

You are welcome.Me too.I know its not a satisfactory reply.
Oh, it is. I think I even understand what you're saying but I'm still uncertain how I should say it since English isn't my mother tongue and I tend to try and pronounce things the way I would say them in German.

You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.
"....I'm hungry..."
I am thinking about someone who is everywhere to me. When I close my eyes, it's his face that I see.
