Way to set them straight, cheif. Thumbs up.

 

well... we know what a tiburon is. in spanish it's "teeburon" but in english it's just the way it is. what the heck is an "elantra"? i guess it's an english thing.

allz i know is i had it right from the start lol.

did anybody see the SNL from last year when the lady pronounced it? I forget who her name is... there was a skit based on an interview. it was really really funny when i heard her making fun of the pronunciation. she was like, "hyyyyyuuunnndaaayey yeeeh yayi" and everytime she said it, she mispronounced it all crazy.

I was wrong. 02.gif everyone always asks me and I say I don't know. Now I'll show them........

This should be added to the FAQ section methinks.

 

At the dealership where I bought my car, the salesguy said Tib-yoo-ron. I don't think he had a clue.

 

I say "Hun-Day", my dad says "Hun-Die", and my boyfriend says "Hy-un-die". Weirdos we are.

 

So yeah, I work at a GM dealer. They all put their hands together and bow and say 'HYIIIEEAUNDIIIIIIII' like it's some Japanese karate move.

 

dont know if its just us brits, but we say.....hi-un-die. and as we invented the english language this must be correct.

 

you brits also say Nissan like Niss-an.. instead of knee-san. Just messing with you Xorro. My grandmother is from Kensington, so I pick up quite a bit of my speech from her.
