Eviscerator 0 Posted May 19, 2002 er im english and i say it jag-u-ar very posh english people probably say jag-war Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amos m 0 Posted May 19, 2002 Well naturally, like anything, the right way is my way, and being aussie I say it more like the brits. But really aussies talk like aussies, brits talk like brits, and yanks can't spell properly so maybe that's why they say everything wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hit_Sqd_Maximus 0 Posted May 19, 2002 I say it Jag-guiariliasiangnaksgns and the letter q Im the best, w00t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted May 19, 2002 In Hebrew, there is no soft "g" or "j" sound inherrent in the language - only a hard "g" sound, as in Gama, or Gimel, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. So Jaguar is pronounced yah-gyu-wahr. If I hear my oldest boy say that, I correct him and tell him it's jag-wahr, plain and simple. Similarly, there is no "w" sound in Hebrew. So, for example, Washington is pronounced Vashington (oy! and - back to cars - B.M.W. is pronounced B.M.Veh. Ugh! In (most,if not all) Arabic dialects, the letter "p" is pronounced as a "b", so that some of you may wish you owned a Borsche, though you may settle for your barent's used Bontiac.

Hilandor 1 Posted May 19, 2002 jag u r is the way we say it or that big petrol guzzling tank that only pimps drive moved to offtopic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jawk2 1 Posted May 19, 2002 hmm french did have a letter "J" and "G" which can have different pronunciation: "Ge" and "J" are the same pronounciation (might be in english near "g'uh" if u like), but "Ga" and "ja" arent the same (in english it will be in phonetic near that "Gua" and "g'ah") Jaguar it's written like this in french tongue and will in pronounciate like this for an english ppl: "g'ah-gu-âr-uh" (i hope the " 'uh" it's near the "doh" term Homer use alot ) your main problem come from the anglo saxon speech that use pitched song and not neutral song for phonetic, we didnt use accentuate for words then we can both use high pitch and bass pronunciation for various word, try figure out how to pronounce theese. -Province (english pronounce it generally with error like "Provins") -Lisieux (a clue we never pronounce the "x" at the end) -Gloire (the "e" pronounce not like a "i" but like a "eu") -Louvre (good luck english ppl always get error there) I laugh alot when i heard the english in radio pronounce the OPF town's name... because all are french typics's name: Montignac is a real name and too come from a belgian picture book *i guess someone of the BIS team enjoyed the "Spirou" picture books* because one of the guy is called Montignac, an issue from my dictionnary: "Montignac: one town head of county, belong to Dordogne "departement", ("arrondissement" of Sarlat-la-canéda), situated near the river "la vézÄre", 4202 inhabitant, point of interest the Lascaux grotto " (if u cant figure out where it is i will help u it's in the center southern-west part of france, near 300km(200miles) north east from Bordeaux), Lascaux grotto is well famed for the Paleolothic picture and Prehistoric site) Well well maybe one day i will do a MP3 with all the OPF towns name to spell them into french.

WKK Gimbal 0 Posted May 19, 2002 Well, as for the "correct" way of saying it, it must be the Brit way, since they invented english AND the Jaguar car. In danish, the animal is also spelled jaguar, like in english, but pronounced ia-gu-ar, with a hard "g" and deep throat "a" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why are all the towns on Flashpoint islands named in French ? (or so they seem). Aren't these islands supposed to be occupied by the Russians ? or the Czechs ? Either way, maybe BIS thought Czech or Russian names, which would have ended up being in the likes of "Å™eka" for la riviere or "pÅ™Ãstav" for le port would sound too foreign to most of their targeted audience. It's cool though, the names of the towns are quite nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
