How you say.... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

JonnydaJibba · 2006-04-29, 11:39 AM

Is it PerrIn or PErrin? Pronunciation-wise.

rubberbiscuitt · 2006-04-30, 06:37 PM

well, it's P as in Piss yellow. but i dunno about correct phonetics of perrin.

sperry · 2006-04-30, 08:12 PM

Perrin = "Pair-rin" IMO

cody · 2006-04-30, 08:39 PM

How do you say Enkei?

it might be that...I say n-key

cody · 2006-05-01, 10:38 AM

I did some seaching and most sources (honda and acura forums) are saying En-Key.

GI Joe!

Now for the mother of all disputes:

Tein

cody · 2006-05-01, 11:07 AM

I always heard Tein like "pain".

cody · 2006-05-01, 11:08 AM

I hope it's not "teen" cuz that could sound wrong if you complimented sombody on their sexy new coilovers.

Ya it is. I asked one of the guys in their booth at SEMA.

zpeed · 2006-05-01, 11:15 AM

End-Kai and Tay-In and that in Thai.
what about Kumho.

sperry · 2006-05-01, 11:38 AM

Kumho = Koom-oh

khail19 · 2006-05-01, 12:19 PM

Not cum-hoe?

It took me a long time to realize I didn't actually start this thread...

I always thought it was like Pair-in, but my roommate lately has been saying it like Pur-in, which I don't think is right.

cody · 2006-05-01, 01:55 PM

You're right...your roommate (mom) is wrong.

Double Phister · 2006-05-01, 01:56 PM

I think it's more pear-in than pair-in. But I'd rather squeeze a pair than a pear.

Enkei was always Een-key to me.

Same thing isn't it?

JonnydaJibba · 2006-05-01, 03:09 PM

my cousin lives in elk grove.

Ezdno · 2006-05-01, 03:35 PM

For 20+ years we have been using the pronunciation of enkei as INKEE

Tein just seems to be it should be said like TEE in, if it was in german it would be TINE.

Its Japanese, so its pronounced like Cody said.

Tayne (rhymes with Pain)

M3n2c3 · 2006-05-01, 06:08 PM

I dunno about Enkei or Tein for sure, but Kumho should be "goom ho," and Hankook should be "hahn-gook."
