I believe everything is been covered just want to give my input on a few
GReddy= just like its spelled, gready Tein= Teen (guy from sportcompact car called it that) Porsche= Poor-shh-uh (super soft "uh") please say that right, HUGE pet peeve of mine is when people dont say it right! Gallardo= everyone who knows anything about cars should never get this one wrong, Gee-yard-oh....not Gal-ar-doe like i heard an actual owner say Mugen= Myoo-gen |

I've heard Bimmer pronounced "beamer" quite I bit, more than the way you said in fact, I guess it just depends where you are.

I'm not Japanese, but I speak Japanese, live in Japan, and speak the language every day.
It's amazing how many people in this thread got Mugen wrong, only seen a couple get it anywhere near correct. Moo - gain It's weird but kinda like the word "gain" without so much emphasis on the "ai" sound. Mu = Moo ge = g(ay) without emphasis on the Y sound. n = n Last edited by superbike81; 05-30-2009 at 09:15 AM. |
