Stagea Pronunciation

[Ska]

What's a Ovlov?

[Terminal]

"A rose by any other name should smell as sweet"

I don't think it matters too much how we pronounce it

[Tangles]

StayyGeeA with a gee-whiz sort of G, and a solid A

or The Stag

[Terminal]

Also don't the japanese pronounce their country 'Nippon', so maybe there's something in the translation of Stagea too

A stagea would be so sweet by a different name, but thats a different name all together. its like people knowing its called a rose, and calling it a ROSS or something because they cant pronounce the e properly.

I expect each one of you that's pedantic about how Stagea is pronounced the "japanese way" to say "su-kai-rine" from now on instead of Skyline.

My No. plate

I am not pedantic about saying it the japanese way really, but i mean, it should be the closest possible english equivelant possible

Skyline is a clear english way to say it, as its an english word too. I just dont see how some peoples pronounciations of stagea exist when its 90% an english word already. Stage-A ....which is really the way its said anyway?

"Stage-A" is an english word... so it should be said in english, not some mispronounced hacked up japanese way. That's the point I'm getting at. So you should be OK saying it as "Stay-Jay" or "Stay-Jah" depending on if you speak the queen's english or American english.

No, there is an E in the name.....

so Stay-J-e-a or Stay-jeah if thats the way you like it!

which comes back to Staayy Geee A in my eyes

well, thats how I'll always say it

doesnt it?

[EGA41T]

lol, who ever would have thought that so much discussion could come from the pronunciation of one word.

[surfstagea]

i think that 'stagea' is a word designed to be pronounced in more ways than any other. i have heard (no bull shit)......

sta - gee (like gee wizz) - a

stahhh - gee - a

sta - ghee (like the indian butter) - a

stay - ga

stay - gee - a

stay - jah
