Quote: ZBube, how would I translate "lily pearl" into German?
It's not much of a translation. Lily is spelled "Lilie" and pronounced exactly the same as it is in English. Pearl is "Perle". The ending "e" is pronounced "uh" just like in Porsche, so Perle is pronounced perl-uh. Put it all together and it's exactly the same as in English, but with "uh" stuck onto the end.
Incidentally, both Lilie and Perle are feminine nouns.

Yep. But incidentally, Lilie also has a phonetic "uh" in it - as in Lili-uh.
'Course, since this is German, we could always create a compound noun: Lilienperle, the "perl of the lilies".
