is it like 'howdy' without the H or like 'oddi'

how about nissan...is it nissON or niss-in

and what does WYHI stand for

and toyota.....my friend pronounces TEE-ota....not TOY-ota...but hes from egypt

 

OW-dee , Nees-On

 

What the west coast giant douche said.

I think its supposed to be Aw-dee though? Maybe not

 

WYHI = would you hit it

 

OW-dee, Nee-san

My first language is Spanish, so I basically just pronounce them in Spanish.

 

x3 with Sarlacc

 

i pronounce my ow di

 

They say both in Germany...but yes Aw-dee is also correct.

 

Are you German?

 

Ancestory wise, half yes. But that dates back a long time ago.

I did however live in Germany for 6 years when I was kid. Military brat.

 

like the others have said, the au in german is pronounced like the ou in house

 

Thats the correct way

Even though i still have a habit of saying AW-DEE

 

I know in Canada they say things different... not sure about Audi, but Mazda... they go Maaazda .

but as for me? I say it Sarlacc's way... I think it's funny how east coast people would claim that , us, west coast people have an accent... but why do all the news anchor people talk like us, then?

 

X3 Sarlacc

 

They pronounce it OW on the commercials.

 

True. We tend to hang on the a in Mazda a little more.

 

As in Mawz da?

Or Mayz da?


i've heard both in Canada

Of course, the worst is a few NY'ers I know who say "Myaaazda"

 

Ow-dee.

 

I say Ma(keep on for about a second and a half here)zda.

Like Ma(hold)zda. Some say Mawzda...

 

Mahs-dah.

 

WYHI = Would You Hit It...
