How do you pronounce "Ugerløse"?

I speak some Danish and know "uger" is pronounced. Is "Uger-" pronounced in the same way? Or do you pronounce the g?

    As a Dane, I would say it's the same as in 'uger' - with the soft 'g'. The Danish 'G' rarely - if ever, really - gets pronounced as a single/hard 'g' when it's in the middle or at the end of a word.

    I am currently learning Danish as well, and i believe that when the g comes before e or i, it is pronounced like a y. And ø is pronounced like er from hyper/ar from sugar/our from flavour in English (midlands accent).

    So you should pronounce it like "Uyerløse".
