QUOTE(azfamy @ May 3 2013, 05:02 PM) Ok then. So I'll stick with volks-where-gern or simply vee-double-you. Or maybe @kadajawi will disagree. But he's not here. Yet. Rilek la bro. No one is perfect in phonetic speech since we're not native speaker of the brand. To-Mae-Toes, To-Mah-Toes why does it matter? |

QUOTE(azfamy @ May 3 2013, 06:05 PM) That's different coz that's a matter of accent, english vs. american. But pronouncing Ayamas as Err-Yeow-Mah maybe unacceptable, even for a non-native. Why is it not right? Who the hell people call other people fag for pronouncing it wrongly? Do you call American, British & the rest of the world except Korean for pronouncing Hyundai wrongly fags?But that's not the point. I'm asking if it is okay to pronounce it right. Not.. is it okay to pronounce it wrong? In volkswagen case, pronouncing folks-varr-gurn is faggot but Ow-Dee is not? Isn't it unfair? I was trying to emphasise like how americans exaggerate the 'a' 'uh' sound in an 'o'. Like when wonder becomes one-der instead of won-der. So yeah it ryhmes with 'wonder'. Maybe I should've spelt whupper? Why does it matter at all? |
