Scuderia?

[MagpieRacer]

How is it said?

Scudeera, or scooderia?

 

[<_Spike_>]

If I recall, I've heard it been pronounced the second way more then anything else so I would guess that's the way to say

Yes. Race team . . . or squad, if you like.

Scuderia is Italian for "stable". Enzo Ferrari used this for his team name when he was first starting as a team owner. he said had a "stable" of the world's best drivers to drive his cars in races all over the world. hence, "Ferrari Stable".



rock.


p.s. I did a term paper on Grand Prix history and Enzo Ferrari was encluded.

Scuderia Toro Rosso were originally gonna be called Squadra Toro Rosso but the use of the word team is restricted to Football (or so i read) so it was changed to Scuderia.

SCU-DEEEE-RIA

That's how we say it, just say it like it's Italian...

There used to be an Osella Squadra Course, but Enzo Osella's team wasn't much of a match for Enzo F.'s team.

I say "modeena"

 

[<_Spike_>]

Modena as in the model of Ferrari? (forgive my squirrelly ignorance here)...always thought that was spelt Moderna...shoot me down if I'm way off the mark here.

 

[Dougboy]

I say "modeena"

i've heard that one before...dont get me started on pronounciation of car related terms. i can go on and on...but lets just stay on topic and stick to scuderia

That would be wrong!

And it's "Mo" (as in mother) - "de" (as in Day, without the Y) and "nah"... Think of saying the word "modern", but change the rn for a "nah", stressing the O. Bubble Bunny's suggestions is also valid.

Ok take it from a real Italian, me. Pronounced - Skoo-day-ree-ah

Scuderia!

 

[Omnis]

by the way, my previous post assumes you are pronouncing the italian/spanish e (-ay, canadian "eh") correctly. Come on, people, it's not that hard.

 

[DLRgian]

Its Italian.

 

[The Internet]

And if you accented the i, it would be Spanish, and be pronounced almost the same way.

Its Modena as in the name of the town in which Ferrari, Lambo and Pagani are all based. Ferrari have used it in the name of a few models.

Modena itself is a quite plain semi-industrial town in Northern Italy, the British version of using it in a car name would be if MG had called the SV the 'MG SV Birmingham'.

Some how you can get away with this kind of this in Italian, I mean just take the Maserrati Quattroporte, which translates as the Maserrati Four Door.

Lambo are based in Sant'Agata, not Modena. I pronounce Scuderia as Scoo-dehh-ria.

 

[DLRgian]

Isn't Ferrari based in Maranello?
