Pako!

[kikie]

As for mine (some of you seem to not know?), its just like ICE-MAN. Silly Dutch language... I could change it to IJSSMAN just to throw everyone off.

That's how I always pronounced it!

And don't insult the Dutch language!

I can't help it that it is a stupid language, at least that's my personal opinion about Dutch.

 

[Robin]

For some stupid reason I say YESSMAN...

 

[opendriver]

Pako and:

Sorry could'nt resist

I know. I've seen you expalin that before, but you're still yesman to me.



EDIT: I'm sure most languages have silly parts to them.

"I have an iron iron to iron my clothes."

There's the same word 3 times with 3 different meanings.

 

[Robin]

Good to see im not the only one that says yesman

 

[Pupik]

Super Duper.

Absolutely.
In Portuguese we say; "it's an ironing iron" - roughly tranlated word by word.


As far as Pako's username goes, I have been pronoucing it in my head as Pako (paack-oh). with a sort of a Spanish accent, as it's easier and more natural for us latin-people, and sounds better.
Every single time we play on CoD4 together, and I refer to his username by that he didn't b**** about it, so...

But you guys are right about one thing; he's da-man'. 👍

 

[livemusic]

What about Pupik? Is it Pewpik, Puhpik or what?

 

[Stevisiov]

For some stupid reason I say YESSMAN...

For perhaps an even more stupid reason I have always thought of it as YASSMAN even though I know its incorrect.

The UKGTP 8 or 'ocho' proved that there appears to be a little confusion over quite how to say stevisiov.

A friend of mine used to call me stevenisovic, I am just gald I didn't put that down as my user name. I have even been called by another person stevenisovidic. I don't quite understand my friends habbits of giving me pseudo russian sounding names. Rather unussual I know but I stick to stevisiov now as my internet ailias.

 

[Beerz]

So, which is it?
In my head, it's Stee-vee-siov. Is it like that?

 

[Robin]

I sometimes read it as steve-vision!

 

[MagpieRacer]

I always thought YSSMAN was like, EEESSSMAN.

 

[Wolfe]

Pah-ko, like taco.

Ice-man, like the Top Gun character (only because I was there when he first(?) explained it). Before that it was iss-man (close, I guess).

Kih-kee, "kih" like in "kick." I'll pronounce it key-key now.

Pyoo-pick. I wonder if it's supposed to be pup-ick.

Mine is straightforward, though I've had arcade kids mistakenly pronounce the "e" rather than leave it silent. The suffix on my Live gamertag and elsewhere is preferably just "two X seven," not "two by seven" nor "two times seven."

I'm sure most languages have silly parts to them.

"I have an iron iron to iron my clothes."

There's the same word 3 times with 3 different meanings.

My favorite example to demonstrate the complexity of our language to non-native speakers when talking to them in person is:

"They're eating their sandwiches over there."

 

[opelgt1969]

YSSMAN could be "Wiseman" except i've read some of his post.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Mine's pronounced "aay muh dew fuss." Kidding. Stig does me fine. Oh, and by the way, BayConRong's name is pronounced "buy-con-rong." It's Vietnamese for Flying Dragon.

 

[McLaren]

I say "taco", but then again I'd been reading YSSMAN as "Yessman" for a loong time, so who knows.

With YSSMAN, I just say the first 3 letters, and then "man".

 

[YSSMAN]

YSSMAN could be "Wiseman" except i've read some of his post.

I agree. I've read some of mine and I don't even know whats going on...

 

[Formula1Driver]

For me its Pako like Taco and YSSMAN I just say as ASSMAN.

 

[superberkut]

YSSMAN: yiss-man, as in kiss. A twitch is optional.

BayConRong: I thought it was an onomatoepoeia.

Pupik: As Wolfe had said.

Muzaffar Musa: Myuz-aff-ar Myuss-a. To me anyways.

Pako: I voted for Pah-ko, but I think I'll start calling him "Pee-ay-koh". It's just so unique.

My name is easy enough to pronounce.

SolidSnake15: So-leed-Snak-one-five. But, I didn't say it; a friend of mine did.

 

[SolidSnake15]

I voted rhyming with taco.

My name is very easy. (saw-lid-snake-fif-teen)

 

[CAMikaze]

Maybe this thread is a good idea for another thread.

"How do you pronounce *your* user name?

It's been done, but I can't find the thread for some reason.

:idea:Let's see if I can help out. Here is the titles and links of some the related threads in this section of the forums...

• What does your user name mean?
• Where do you get your nickname from?
• What does your user name mean/come from?

 

[Wolfe]

My name is easy enough to pronounce.

If someone doesn't know what "berkut" refers to, I could easily see them pronouncing it something like soo-per-burr-cut, instead of soo-per-bear-koot.

 

[Rykon Zero]

The berkut part refers to his favorite plane.

 

[Omnis]

is it Bear-Koot? I've been reading it as Burr-Koot.

 

[Wolfe]

Yes, the Su-47. That's how I know how to pronounce it.

is it Bear-Koot? I've been reading it as Burr-Koot.

It's russian for "golden eagle." Saying it burr-koot is fine for an English speaker, but for complete accuracy it would be bear-koot. As long as you aren't saying burr-cut.

Found a video clip where it is spoken (at 0:12).

Oh, well if I had known it was Russian, I would've been saying Bear-koot all along.

 

[Muzaffar]

Muzaffar Musa: Myuz-aff-ar Myuss-a. To me anyways.

Somehow, everytime I read one of these threads, my name would always get mentioned..... Why does it always have to be me?

Yeah, my name is pretty hard to pronounce by many people. Its actually:
Muh-zaff-ar Mu-sah or Mu-za-ffar Muh-sa or something pretty similar. However, you can call me Muz as in moose if you like....

YSSMAN, I always had a hard time to pronounce your name. I would usually say your name like yeast-man or something along the line.....

 

[YSSMAN]

I would usually say your name like yeast-man or something along the line.....

I'm infectious, what can I say!

 

[Cap'n Jack]

My favorite example to demonstrate the complexity of our language to non-native speakers when talking to them in person is:

"They're eating their sandwiches over there."

Next time try this one: "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

All explained Here. I had a bit too much free time in school last year.

 

[Small_Fryz]

so yssman is wiseman?

riightt...

Small_Fryz = small fries.. Oh wow, such a stretch.
