I told a friend at work that 5Zigen was pronounced as "Go-Zee-Gen" (Gen being a hard 'g') and he laughed. Then I explained (he's Japanese btw) that the '5' is 'go', said in Japanese. He now agrees!

People always say that my user name is pronounced "Ess-Eye-Civic"...

and they're right.

***GalaxyGreySi*** · 10-26-2006, 02:41 AM

I have heard a 5Zigen employee say it like Go-Zee-Ghen. And I heard a japanese guy say Mugen like moo-Gen, with the emphasis on the 2nd syllable. MoogHen power!

French are saying "koop... eh?" They're Canadian influenced.

I think this was sarcasm, but just in case it's not, HKS and Hotchkiss are two different companies.

Do you guys pronounce Si "S I" or "sea" ?

I think most ppl probably pronounce it "S I" but isn't it better to pronounce it "Sea". In spanish Si means "Yes".. Vtec, Si!! Vtec, Si!!
