Pronuciations

[Smokescreen]

I was curious how car names are pronounced where you live. I live in the Midwest U.S., btw.

JAGUAR
U.S: jag-wire
U.K: ghag-u-are

GALLARDO
U.S: guh-lar-doh
ITALIAN: gee-yad-oh (I think I read that in R&T)

Got any more?

Yes mate you are correct, in Italian we pronounce the double L as an A. Goob Job, I am glad to see that you have noticed this.

How about Murcielago?
I pronounce it mur-chee-largo.
I've heard people pronounce it mur-seeya-largo.
And my friend pronounces it mur-chee-lay-go.
As far as I know I'm pronouncing it as the Italians intended.
Wanna shed some light Fabio Ferrari?

[fpv_gtho]

im not italian, but ive seen somewhere its supposed to be pronounced "Mur-thee-lago

[silverhawk]

i pronounce murcielago as: mur-see-lago. does anyone know how peugeot is properly pronounced? ive heard different pronunciations like
pev-jo
pee-jo
pi-ji-ot

how is koenigsegg pronounced? ko-nig-seg or ko-e-ne-seg [first 'g' assumed silent] or any other way?

[VtecMini]

As far as I'm aware, it's pur-zho. I did the phonetic alphabet in A level English, but I'll be damned if I can remember any of it. The "zh" is supposed to be like the S in "persian". It might not even be the correct pronounciation, maybe the G is supposed to be more prominant.

[fpv_gtho]

per-jxo

if you can picture that

[digitalcraft]

I'm pretty sure it'd be peu-jho.. having 4 years of french... 4 years ago >.>


as for pronunciations...
here I hear:
Jag-wiar
Lam-bor-gee-nee
meee-yah-tuh
hi-yon-day
Ford
Shev-ro-lay.
uh...

[dydzi]

when i see the pronuciation that you guys use im not sure if we're talking about same cars polish is quite different:

ia - ghu - ar (thats because J in polish is like I in english)

lam - bor - gee - nee

pe - jo (peugeot )

oh yeah and mur - see - alagho
