This reminds me. I always hear people say "zehru" when they mean zero.

How do we pronounce NIKE? Some pronounce it as nyk. I thought it is pronounced as niky. LOL

moonie · « **Reply #350 on:** January 22, 2011, 01:45:35 pm »

It's known around the world as "NAY-KEE." But the name comes from the greek goddess of victory Nike, pronounced "NEE-KEI."

i remember my english 1a prof

predicate - pre-di-kit

nutata · « **Reply #355 on:** January 25, 2011, 03:15:28 pm »

^
Predicate - pred-i-kit
-is correct if she was using it as a noun, as in "subject and predicate," or an adjective, as in "predicate verb"

Predicate - pred-i-keyt
-when using the word as a verb

I just read the whole thread. super funny yung ibang story lalo yung surotski. hehe
This thread is very informative/ helpful. Dami ko natutunan especially sa mga brand names and restaurant names.

some additions:
coupon-kupon...not kyoopon
volkswagon- foks vag'n (german)
porsche-porsha
Paris-paree
Italy-it'ly
Chicago-Shikago (may officemate kasi, travel account kami sa call center. lagi nya sinasabi sa customer "your flight to Chikago...." sabi ng trainer namin sa kanya, "isang beses ko pang madinig ang Chikago sayo, puputulin ko dila mo." LOL.

sometimes depende din sa lugar. Using the same sentence:
"I'm going to the hospital today"
in America : "I'm going to the hospital toodey"
in Australia/Britain : "I'm going to the hospital to die"
huwaaaat...don't die yet! LOL

guitarist-giTARist
comforter-COMfort'r
condolence-conDOWlens
take into consideration on how you pronounce the rootword.

We try to find out the correct pronunciation and practice it right...pero try mo i-use sa everyday conversation yung right pronunciation sa ibang tao. minsan ikaw pa ang pagtatawanan.

For example the word PIVOT...it should be pronounced as is (or pivet). But nung sa dressmaking class we studied dart manipulation using the pivot method. Panay sabi ng mga classmates ko PIE-VOT (including our trainer). and ako naman syempre panay padinig ko ng PIVOT, pero everytime i say the correct pronunciation, parang natatawa sila.
When i corrected them and told them it's pivot not pie-vot...sabi nila ang bantot naman daw pakinggan ng pivot mas sosyal daw yung pie-vot...

K fine! LOL

meron pa pala...the use of beach vs hehe.
madalas kasi sinasabi ng iba lalo pag summer...."pupunta kami sa b*tch."
or pag nagagalit yung isang friend ko sa boss nya "grabe talagang beechy yung boss ko." LOL

i always mix Sbarro (restro) with Subaru (car brand) LOL kaya minsan na papaisip ako which one is right minsan na lang sinasabi ko the Italian Restro na may Italian flag ang theme just to be safe LOL

i was conversing with Ex, then may na-kwento siyang up-coming tv docu, yung sa mel&joey ... i was asking kung ano yung topic, he keeps on telling "insist" natigilan ako, then i said, ano ulit yung topic, "insist, yung bawal na relasyon sa pamilya?"

siopao!

gusto kong matawa

, "incest" although hindi ko na siya itinama, nahiya naman ako [from the south kasi siya altho he grew up in the north
