GReddy pronunciation??

[browny]

I've got a new one for some of you guys:

pe·dan·tic (pə-dăn'tĭk)

adj.

Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for book learning and formal rules: a pedantic attention to details.

[skylineracer1]

i used to say it G-ready but everyone started saying Greddy and they also said it on HPi so now i say nothing very confused.

[akeenan]

name - how they pronounciate it - how i say it

who is they? i assume you are talking about japanese people...

some of your japanese pronounciations are off too.

ps: i believe is G Reddy

[Josh]

I thought Bride was boo-ri-do?... when I say boo-ri-do no-one knows what im talking about... hahahaha I have to explain it is bride and they look at me like 'wtf mate?'

[rance]

greddy sounds more original...and sounds higher class

G-reddy sounds too ghetto...like a 50cent single...

just too many G's

G-unit,Ali G, Homie G, G-spot,

[Sambo33]

most people i know pronounce it greedy, and i never know what there on about. then its like "ohhh, you mean G Reddy"?

[Grant]

Ok, here's another one. Honda Prelude. Is it Pre-lood, or Prel-yude?

[Rezz]

People... you're all wrong!

It's Rezz here, I'll straighten all this shenannigans out! (hehehe )

Ok, Rrrrrready??? (lol)

GReddy: pronouced 'Goo-re-dee' or in English 'Gre-dee' from Japanese 'グレッディ' = 'Goo-re-dee'

A'pex(i): pronouced 'A-peck-koo-soo' or in English 'Aye-pecks' from Japanese 'アッペクス' = 'Ah-pe-koo-soo' - The 'i' IS NOT pronounced.

**Edit: Just because theres a capital 'G' and 'R' in there, doesn't mean anything! This is Japanese limited understanding of the English language remember...

The more central question is: prelude to what? A decent car?

[darkrams69]

[hypntk]

Yes, I know, thats why I posted above. I've lived in Japan for 5 years and have met with Japanese sales reps from Trust and A'pex (and others) and heard them introduce themselves using the pronunciation I posted above... that enough? lol

[Ruffels]

what about Veilside

is it vale (as in what a bride has) side

of veal (the meat) side

[Rezz]

^^^ It's 'Vale-side'... or for Aussies: 'Vay-el-soide'

[danh]

ps: i believe is G Reddy

sorry, by 'they' i meant the people who invented the name. as some of the names i listed are not jap.

yeh i'm sure they are prob quite off, im just saying what i know, i'm not japanese, but my 'pronounciation key' is just a guide from what i know, its not supposed to be worthy of webber, just contributing to the forum, but i think you get the drift...

its not law either so by all means correct me where im wrong, i'm always happy to be corrected!

No, its Vile-side

[Grant]

Haha, I agree with lwells. Farken horrible bodykits....

[jezzerrr]

I used to say G-Reddy, but I say greddy now. easier and yeah... sounds better lol. And it looks like that's the actual way to pronounce it, given the evidence for...

Lol rezz, I can so see that coming out of thier mouths dorreeft!

[Savage Bliss]

It's G-Reddy... Without a doubt. Now do you say G-rex or Grex? We could be here all day if we wanted to analyse exectly what those crazy Jap tuners (and japanese in general) are trying to say!!

It's Gr-ed-dee. Remember this:

GReddy: pronouced 'Goo-re-dee' or in English 'Gre-dee' from Japanese 'グレッディ' = 'Goo-re-dee'

Theres a correct way to say it, and it would be quite embarrassing if say Tsuchiya were to come to Australia and all these Aussie so-called Japanese car experts start busting out with their own invented pronunciations just because "I can't be farked" or "that sounds stupid..."

One more time (:werd: ) with English pronunciation:

A'pex = Aye-pecks

GReddy = Gr-ed-dee

GREX = Gr-ex

GRACER = Gr-ay-ser (not: 'G-Racer!!!")

Fujitsubo = Foo-jitz-oo-boe (the emphasis is on the 'jitz' part, not: 'Foo-jit-SOO-boe)

Watanabe = Wah-tah-nah-beh... simple. (not: "Wah-tah-nayb"!!)

Tanabe = Tah-nah-beh... as above

5 Zigen = Five Ziggen ('ig' as in 'bigger') In Japanese: 'Goh Ziggen'.

RE Amemiya: Are-Eee Ah-mem-ee-yah

Cefiro = Seh-fee-roe

Hachi-Roku = Hah-chee Roh-koo (not: Roe-koo... US style )

Bride = Bree-deh (I suppose 'Breed' would sound better in English... don't say 'Br-eye-d'!!! Thats the epitomy of wrong)

JUN = Joo-n ('oo' as in 'put')

Tommy Kaira = Tommy K-eye-rah (not: 'K-eye-ee-rah')

Tomei = Toe-mey (not: TOMMY!)

Tsukuba = Tsoo-koo-bah

Any more just gimme a yell
