Pronunciation Thread:

[Diamonds]

I found a funny thread that was like 9 pages long on the correct way to say "Murcielago"... So i figured that we could have it out on virtually anything....

 

 

 

 

The popular vote was for something along the lines of:

 

Mur - thee -el - ahgo (sounds a bit "lispy")

 

^^^ i refuse to believe that is correct...it osunds retarded

 

 

 

the most common one i hear is

 

Mur - see - el - ahgo (which i believe is wrong!)

 

 

 

I am selfly-convinced that the correct pronunciation is:

 

Murch - E - L - uh - GO (with a "ch" like in "church")

 

 

 

Discuss....

Also, feel free to throw up any other words that are worthy, i'm sure there could be 10 pages alone on the word "Tein"

I believe its Murch-E-L-ahgo

[coty061885]

I was told that the "thee" sound is correct because that's how the word is pronounced in a certain dialect of spanish. But the "see" sound is OK because most spanish dialects would pronounce it that way. I usually pronounce it with the "see" sound though I'm used to hearing the "E-L" cause I watch too much Top Gear.

...and Tein i pronounce "tain" like train without the r or taint without the t

I defer authority to Jeremy Clarkson (despite the fact that he says it with a british accent). Murts-eh-le-aaaaahgo.

Murcielago is spanish for "bat".

Mur - thee -el - ahgo is correct. You know the spanish and italian language are similar if you study them...?

[CRed05]

the bull logo is used because the founder of lamborghini was a Taurus

jarama - area known for bullfighting

diablo - famous bulls name

murcielago - famous bulls name

gallardo - breed of bull

i agree, although the people at Tein USA call it "tee-en"

[RedRocket1647545505]

mur-cthee (a lispy 'C')-ay-lahgo is the correct way, I believe.

The th is very soft and is not pronounced as strong as you may think.

[Guest tbutera2112]

thats the exact same thing....

[V8 Beast]

The th in the one you posted is way too strong with no s sound in front of it.

[Guest tbutera2112]

if you listen to the end of the clip though when hes not pronouncing it syllable by syllable, it sounds the same...you barely even hear the t

 

**edit, i lied, listened to it (the one i posted) again and i see what you're talkin about

[SPLN SUX]

Thats because they dont know German grammer... TEIN should be pronounced like TINE, sounds like Nine. In German the emphasis goes on the second letter when E and I are placed together.

 

The shop owner says it correctly, TINE. (around 1:00min in)

Pretty close, and real Spanish differs from Mexican jibberish.
