Pronunciation Thread

[Gyuri87]

well if tein is japanese then it would be tayne

That's what I said. Tein like in Enstein. Like the German way of pronouncing Tein.

Tayne if you want or even Thain. Like the Thai food with the letter N added to the end of it.

Tei - Tie

[fatboy1185]

Tein is said like T-N. or tee-in.

how about megan racing?

is it megan like the name? or like mugen but with a sharp e?

[Losiracer2]

Mugen=moo-gen
Tein=tane
Apexi=eh-pexi
Ractive=Ract-ive
Greddy=Gred-ee
Accord=A-kord
Honda=Hon-da
Hyundai=Hy-un-dai
CB7=cee-bee-seh-ven (my favorite lol...longest one yet! yet shortest spelling)

[ACCORDianate]

Mugen=moo-gen
Tein=tane
Apexi=eh-pexi
Ractive=Ract-ive
Hyundai=Hy-un-dai

I've always pronounced them:
Mugen=MOO-jin
Tein=TEE-in
Apexi=ay-PEX-ee
Ractive=RACK-tive
Hyundai=HUN-day

Obviously, I put the emphasis on the first syllable for each of these with one exception. To each their own, as long as everyone knows what each other is talking about.

Tein is for Technical Innovation. Therefore, it's not really a word. It's more of a fishbulb. Teen or Tayne are the most common pronunciations. I usually hover somewhere in the middle.

Mugen is an actual word. Moogen is how it is said. It means "Infinite"... which is the meaning of "Mugen Power". Infinite power. If you watch Samurai Champloo, one of the characters is named Mugen.

GReddy is Greddy. Like Freddy, as Rich said above. I could always go visit their facility and ask them in person. There's a GReddy facility about an hour from me. I used to pass it regularly.

A'pexi is odd... It's Apex Inegration, yet they put the apostrophe after the A. You'd think it would be separating the first word from the i that symbolizes the second. Another fishbulb. "Uh-pex-ee" is what I've always said.

[(_)(_)'s n Beer]

Boobies - "Bew-bees"
Beer - "beer"

[deevergote]

You know, I saw that one coming...

[Law Grandeur]

boobies + beer isnt always a good combination rofl

[lil_dcb7]

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

apexi is pronounced apex. Apexi is short for Apex Intergration.

Greddy is Gready " GE Red ie"

[Ralphie]

Even after 3 or 4 pages i still never understood why anyone cared enough lol.

[deevergote]

Probably because those dumbasses that say "greedy" just look like... well... dumbasses.

[bcjammerx]

boobies and beer are always good things

[CoPilot1]

This thread will never end. Very few people pronounce any of them the same way. I see this going on and on and on...

[Dv8]

I call Apex'i, Apex. Because saying Apexee sounds retarded, and Apex Integration is too much of a mouthful.

I dont call Mugen anything, because its overpriced and I dont bring it up.

I call JDM a fad.

I call Greddy, Trust. Because Greddy sounds retarded, and Trust makes Greddy. So its suiting. And it confuses the fuck out of people.

I call JIC, garbage.

I call Tein, t-eye-n, as thats how it reads.
