Philplop Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yep, Owdi and perjoe, but with a soft j'y type sound. Not like Joe the name.I've heard of Audio TT's though, think they were limited edition or something. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) The number of times people have rang up our house and said i need my Citroen X - antia servicing (my dad was a Citroen specialist) When its really said Zantia, got on my nerves a bit style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> How do people say SEAT? Do you say SEE-AT?Or SAY-AT? And AROSA is it:AR-OSSAorAR-O-SA Probably not spelt it the way its heard style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> , but ive heard it said a few ways.

Clouseau Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Peugeot= perrzheow? with an italian accent, trying to speak french slowly. while waving hands expressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I would say Mersh (because there is no 'u' in Hartlepool, we go to werk and eat spicy kerry)-ee-el-argo. More syllables than you would say. Dunno where I've picked up that pronounciation from though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from I say it "mers-ee-el-argo" - I normally end up picking up the pronounce from car programs and such.Ianedit:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxaZZ9dyhyU - VBH says it as "mers-ee-alago"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1ZWJjC648I - JK says it as "merch-ee-el-argo"Seems that we may never know style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Edited June 21, 2007 by IanW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridLupo Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Lol I was in Floriday last summer listening to the radio and they were advertising some new Nissan which to me is pronounced nis-san. Funnily enough because that's how it's spelt. The yanks pronounce it neee-saan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 To quote Auto Express about the pronunciation of Murciélago :"But while you probably won't be able to sample the cabin's many charms, you could always try and impress your friends by pronouncing its name correctly - which, for the record, is 'moor-thiel-largo'."Impressed style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
