The Definitive Guide To Pronunciation

[No Crust Racing]

This has been a matter of conjecture for quite sometime and I think it's about time we got some thoughts on the matter.

Below are some Jap terms we all use, but let's clarify the pronunciation!!!

Apexi - "Apex eye", as in Apex of a corner, or "Ah" "pecs" "ee"

Greddy - Greddy. "Gr" "eddy" like the name or "Gee" "Ready"

Jun - "June" the month or "Jun", like sun but with a J

Stagea - "Stage" "A", or "Stage" "e" "ah"

That's just to get started, feel free to add to the list but only after the above has been addressed!

[Dingo]

Oh my God is that a turbo bro - Origin Wog-a-mus-maximus

Pro-nounciation - Say it as fast as you can with a long emphasis on the last word.

Guys... I said you could post your own junk after ours was taken care of! LoL :lol:

[racsov500]

Someone made a fat thread on this a few months ago

[someonestolecc]

Apexi - ah-pex (there's no freakin "i")

Greddy - Just how you see it "GREDDY" same as if you were coping a "HEADY"

Jun - Just how you see it JUN, as in how Irish people would say run

Stagea - Stehgee-A

Bride = brid

That's how I say it anyway. And if you search you WILL find the thread already done this.

Who cares anyway

do you want to know what the most common (mis)pronounciation is? or the actual japanese pronounciation?

the japanese is (phonetically):

ah-pec-sue

juhn (that's a downwards pronounciation - not 'joon')

sue-tey-jia

bu-ree-doh

I've actually never heard a japanese person say 'greddy' - but it's probably gu-reddie

The people posting I'd wager Feel free to avoid the thread if it bothers you so much.

Keep'em coming guys =D

[dezz]

so bride isnt pronounced BRYDE...its brid?

[DaiOni]

ブリッド

=

bu-ri-d-do

or (to simplify the phonetics a little more)

=

boo-reed-doh

[sl33ek]

I've heard people from shops that sell these seats pronounce it as "Breed" also

[DaiOni]

'breed' is the most common bastardization of the japanese pronounciation, which is, in any case, a mispronounciation to start with...

[Terminal]

ブリッド

=

bu-ri-d-do

or (to simplify the phonetics a little more)

=

boo-reed-doh

Like a Burito?

[MacGuyver]

Mmmm, burito! Hey I thought Apexi was becoming Apexera? I brought an AVCR a little while ago and it had a sticker on the box saying that Apexi was slightly changing it's name in 2005. And I read somewhere in an issue of HPI that GReddy stood for 'Great Eddy', not because of some legendary dude called Eddy but after some sort of weird air flow phenomenon. I say Gee Reddy, but who cares?

[DaiOni]

was flicking through the new option 2 magazine last night and noticed that trust's GREX brand (brakes) is pronounced 'goo-reksu' - so I'd assume greddy is 'goo-reddy'

[dezz]

yeah but we speak english here...so we're after the english pronounciation

[Dee 33]

yeah but we speak english here...so we're after the english pronounciation

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Which is why you'll get different pronounciations amongst english people because they're not english words. Sort of like castle. Car-sl or cass-l. Not really a right way, just a different way.

[DaiOni]

"yeah but we speak english here...so we're after the english pronounciation"

so who decides what that is?

think about it.
