What is the hardest car to pronounce

[funkymcmonkey]

in GT5 and can you pronounce and spell it without cheating ?

 

[Hollow]

X1


Jking, Koenigsegg is all I can think of.

 

[ReVoLuT1oN]

RE Amemiya
Autobianchi

And I think I could spell them without cheats'.

Gallardo. It's not hard, but I'm sure it's pronounced incorrectly as much as Porsche.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

In GT5? I was in a private lobby with a couple of my friends, from both sides of the US, UK, and Australia, and we were getting into massive discussion over car pronunciation.

I say "SEH-luh-kuh" (Celica)

and my UK friend said "seh-LEE-kuh" (Celica)

or i say "stay-juh"

and he would say "Stah-gee-ah"

I guess those wouldn't be hard to pronounce, but it's just different in different countries, i suppose.

Although based on sheer length, i'd say the Amuse 380RS Superleggera could be a mouthfull at first.

GT5 meanwhile became an exciting game.... unbelievable...

Even though Koeniggsegg isn't in GT5, it's easy for me to pronouce, snce I'm scandinavian myself. Spelling it however, now that's something else...

Anyways, in GT5. There's none really hard for me to pronounce.

I agree with the Nissan station wagon the Stagea. Gallardo is not that hard if you speak spanish as well as Murcielago. Some people misspronounce the "LL" in Gallardo making it sound like an "L", when in fact is pronounced as a "Y". the Murcielago is mostly misspronounced since people put a stress in the wrong syllable, usually pronouncing it MurcieLAgo, when it's in fact MurCIElago.

I'm sure it's pronounced incorrectly as much as Porsche.

<tangent>What bothers me about people being pious about pronouncing Porsche is that these are the same people that will say Merc.

Porsche (Portia) and Mercedes are both personal names as well as brand names. My name is Travis, but people all me Trav all the time. What's the big deal.

In all fairness, I say Porsche as two syllables just because it is such a pretty name. If you named a car Rebecca de Mornay, I wouldn't call it Becky, but it wouldn't bother me if other did.</tangent>

Not a car, but just how do you pronounce Tsukuba? su-koo-ba? suck-a-bar?

H-wire-a. Easy.

Its su-koo-bah.

Yead definate silent T. my vote ia su-koo-ba

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Not in GT5, but Enthusia had the Lowenseering or whatever and i could never figure out how to pronounce that thing.

back on topic, i'm pretty sure some of the paint chips are much worse. All the german brands have rediculous german-spelled paint chips...Well less rediculous and more i can't understand german

It's actually not so much a silent T as a sort of "sssss" with a hard attack, if you see what I mean. You can't disregard the T, but you can't pronounce it as you would normally either.

 

[lampadione]

As far as I know, nobody can spell Lancia.

Please, it's Lan-CH-A, not Lan-S-ia.

 

[Anathema]

The uber Nissan wagon (Stagea.)

Exactly. It is a sound not used in English, but it is there. It is like the sound in Ahmed, in that it is another sound used in English.

This. I always say Guilda de Carrazota in my mind and I'm like, wait, backwards...

And of course of all time not in GT5, Huayra.

Wow. I didn't see tha coming. I've been mispronouncing it all my life then. It make much sense though.

 

[1241Penguin]

Celica.

I like to pronounce it "SEE-lick-ka" because it sounds cool that way.

Very often, the spelling of a word can be very different to the way it's pronounced.
