Pronunciations

[Priyesh P.]

lol ... i like this thread ;-)

@ kalone:
there are people in germany who tend to pronounce Chrosziel:
crosh ceil

(like "crash" and "ceiling")

but maybe that's a south german / bavarian variation?

all the best,
martin

Hallo Martin,
Yo mei, des passt scho!
Oder sollte ich sagen: Ich gloob det ist richtich, keule?


But that's a good point.
Some people say: 4-35 and others 4-3-5 (for Arri's 435
camera). We should ask the owners.

BTW, Chrosziel was sold by it's founder Alfred Chrosziel,
now it could be Abrahams & Nussbaum ;-)

Kalone, wir sitzen übrigens auch in Berlin (mit 2 Reds) - vielleicht sollten wir 3 Berliner Redreservierer uns mal treffen...

Ah Jo Nyoo

 

[Dan Blanchett]

Jeez, I always said Jay-nerd (rhymes with Maynard).

And N.A.B., not Nab.

Hi Jan (korrekt?),

hab Ich mitbekommen. Laguun ist ja ne bekannte Adresse.

Können wir gerne machen, würde mich auch freuen euch
mal kennenzulernen.

Beste Grüsse - sorry to all non-german users for this little break!

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

I use to and still do call it "CHORE-ZEEL" I dont know why

 

[Keith Nealy]

angenieux = ON-gen-oo

Roughly-Americanized, but don't close the N in ON (it's french.)

 

[chuck colburn]

sock-lear
ah lum eh num (aluminum)

oh yeah and, ang eh new

Here's my contribution...

NAB: I flip-flop on this one, sometimes it's EN-NAY-BEE, sometimes it's just nab. Seems to be most spell out the letters when saying it, but the computer geek in me that turns everything into an acronym likes to just say, 'nab'.

Chrosziel: khross-zeel

ARRI: ARE-REE

Sachtler: The ch has a 'k' sound, but is very brief or faint... Almost sounds like Sat-Ler.

Jannard: Jan-nard.. Or at least until the day I meet him personally and he corrects me.

Angenieux: Ahn-Jen-eoh... Like Keith said, don't close the 'n' off sharply and the last syllable kinda starts out sounding like "eeww, gross", but finishes almost rhyming with "dough".

Arri and Ari

Arri and Ari

Arri: Awr-Ree or Air-ree?

Is Arri pronounced the same as Ari Fleischer?
Should you roll the rr like it was Spanish, or flem it like it was Hebrew?

I am still waiting for Jim to tell us how to pronounce his last name. I don't want to sound like a dumb butt.

I've a Japanese friend who keeps correcting people on the word Nikon, which he says should be pronounced "nee-cone" and not "nigh-Con,"

I believe your friend. In the USA we say KNEE-son for Nissan. In the UK, I think they say NISS-IN. So I could see how the Japs would say KNEE-con or KNEE-cone.

eugene,

i think Ari and ARRI would work - you don't roll the double R. What do you mean by flem?

Maybe we should ask the lions in the BURRRITO ad

Jannerd:

Ah-ree

I´m afraid you dont really have the open A. Closest would be the A in "arts", except it´s spoken more to the front of the mouth.

But to quote your Dave Barry´s travel guide: "Everybody in germany, including most domestic animals speak better english than the average american college graduate."
