How to pronounce

[Stealth5]

Sirius - for some reason I want to call it Cyrus.....I know how to read, I just mix it up for some strange reason!
I think it has to do with Osirius...the Egytian god.

the egyptian god is osiris, sirius sounds like serious, its a star... the "dog star"

 

[alexlitov]

basically ALL of the VW tuners

That's cause it's from Germany and other European countries. I bet AutoEXE means something in Japanese along with others we just dont' recognize it.

They(people in other countries) probably have a hard time pronouncing our brand names like Nike, Levis.

okay, i see these names like tein and corbeau and autoexe... i had no idea how to pronounce them before haha.

i thought tein was Tea-en. come to find out, its Tain (like rain)

and corbeau, i thought was kor-bea-eu. come to find out, its kor-bow

and autoexe, for some odd reason, i thought it was auto E-X-E, but of course, its just auto-x.

anyone have problems with pronouncing brands? i feel like a dumb ass sometimes saying something and then i find out im saying it wrong. alright, have a good day everyone peace - chris

Hey thats kinda like I just figured out recently that "L8R" meant later?........... still trying to figure out the Aura 13 thing though....

 

[hawaiiannights]

Most of the Japanese stuff is easy to me since i'm a full fledged Japanese, born there and all and yes I speak the language fluently.....

Mugen = Moogen (meaning is eternal power translated kanji characters)

5zigen = go-ji-ge-n

what else was there?

 

[Pants McGregor]

OK, so why does 5zigen = go-ji-ge-n ???

 

[J_Naoto]

"go" is 5 in japanese

 

[hawaiiannights]

exactly...

 

[hawaiiannights]

Guess what also..."MAZDA" is actualy pronounced MA-TSU-DA

 

[L8R]

LLtek (Audi Tuner) = L- Tech
