Pronunciation Thread

[MikeW]

Anyone remember that pronunciation thread awhile back??

It was for trying to figure out how to pronounce brands like; Mugen, Apexi, Ractive, GReddy, etc.

I looked for it and couldn't find it. If no one else can find it, who's up for starting a new one?

[Law Grandeur]

mugen would be moo-gehn
apexi (i think) is a-pex-ee
ractive is well ractive
GReddy is gred-dee

[MikeW]

I always said "myoo-gen"
I used to say "A-Pex-ee" then i heard a guy on tv say "a-pex-I"
I always thought it was "G-Reddy"

I cant think of any other right now, but there was a whole thread on brands and how ppl pronounced them. It was pretty funny to see all the different variations.

[Law Grandeur]

yea the last 2 are pretty much fucked. mugen is moogen. like the word futari would be pronounced foo-tah-ree.

And what about Tein, is it pronounced like tane? and it really drives me nuts when people call Edelbrock, Edlerbrock. Not sure why, but it does... sunsabitches!

[JoshM]

And what about Tein, is it pronounced like tane?

I've heard "tane", "tee-in", "tine".
I honestly dunno.

[nine_deuce]

I've heard tee-in as well. The first time I ever heard of Tein, there was a Thunderbird around here, it had a HUGE Tein sticker on the rocker/door/fender, I had no clue what it was, after thinking, I HIGHLY doubt the car the sticker was on had any Tein product, oh well

[bcjammerx]

[blizzard335]

[Gyuri87]

I pronounce Tein as "tein" in Enstein

[JaK FRoSTWhiTE]

Mugen, Apexi, Ractive, GReddy, etc.

Mugen = Moo-Gen (as in GENeration)
Apexi = Ah-Pex-ee
Ractive = Ractive
GReddy = Greddy (like Freddy)
Tein = Teen

thats how i pronounce them...

[The G-Man]

apexi should be apex -i

Because it is actually short for Apex Integration.

[Law Grandeur]

well if tein is japanese then it would be tayne

[JoshM]

well if tein is japanese then it would be tayne

That's how I've always pronounced it.
