How To Pronounce "Cefiro"

[jaik]

Ive come across a few variations in how "Cefiro" is pronounced. Which one do you think it is?

1) Cef-fire-ro

2) Cef-fear-ro

3) Cef-ur-ro

4) Suh-fear-oh

Whats the verdict?

None of the above

SUH-FEAR-OH

( puts his hand up) how much feeling do we put in the "OH"?

[inark]

japanese and maoris pronounciate their vowels the same the same so it would be...

Ceh-Fear-Or where the r on the end fades... not a full ocka OR

hmmm good question.

OK, i'll revise my first attempt to:

sef-EAR-o

or

sef-EE-ro

.....take into account that i have a full on aussie accent.... i wouldn't expect someone of a culturally different background to pronounce it the same way i do

[inark]

the next japanese customer i talk to from the JP help desk i will ask

[akeenan]

its pronounced

se-fi-ro

not

se-fi-row

[dangerous_daveo]

Seephearrow ????

[martydaman]

se-fear-o me thinks

[ylwgtr2]

its said with an L....cefelo

[martydaman]

wat... how do you know its pronounced with in L??

[dangerous_daveo]

Im gona keep calling it a camary I think... Most people call it that or a cosmo anyway. Still both start with C so its all cool!

[ylwgtr2]

have you ever hear a japanese person say the letter R?They pronounce it L

[martydaman]

hmmm... dunno... i know that japanese people say R insteas of W

I still think its Cef-fear-o...

[inark]

troys right... of course

seing as he goes to japan just about every year he would probably know... plus his wifes japanese

i was with a 25yo exchange student when i was 16 and hey name was Sayori... pronounced SAY-O-LEE

This thread rocks!

jaik i'm going to applaud you and give you good karma for starting this thread!

[jaik]

I have no idea what that is, but if its positive i'll take it

Cefelo is just too ghey considering cefiro is actually written on the car Im just gunna say whatever I feel like to the Trevs, they probably wont understand either way.
