Ok. Wine or ween?

[Mark Wein]

Thanks. Needed to know because I'll be playing a song from the album today on the little college radio station. They're desperate for live people in the summer when the students go home, so the suckers gave me a slot.

Is there any internet streaming?

I've heard both.... so I use "Porsh" for a single car, and "Porsh-ah" for the company or cars as a collective.

I've heard both, too. It is "Porsh-ah", for sure (My dad speaks German, and I have a friend who is a professional German/English translator).

So now we know.

It's "porsh-ah." That's the way they say it, so that's what it is.

When I hear "porsh," I cringe.

This should be a sticky.

Oh yeah, and I created a facebook page:

So if anyone wants to like it, go right ahead. I'd appreciate it.

Thank you Coral and GH. I'll drop the singular usage (which I haven't really had a use for in a few years anyways).

My German colleagues that come over here all say "porsh-ah"
They'd say "porsh" if they wanted to imitate an American saying it.

When I was a kid, other kids would say "Nikes." One syllable. That also drove me insane.

 

[Tig]

Ja, there are no silent characters in Deutsch. Everything gets pronounced.

That one I knew from the greek goddess.

tweeted too

 

[MarkydeSad]

Well I've always pronounced it 'Wine' and shall continue to do so

So there!

"It's pronounced eye gore"

"It's pronounced eye gore"

And "Fronk-en-steen".

Yep, Porsche is two syllables. It is a family name, and there are tons of video and audio clips of family members pronouncing their name, and I figure they would know.

My name is spelled Boehmig but pronounced Bay-mig. Rhymes with gay pig.

Nobody ever gets that one right. I get "Boh mig", "boHEEmig" (which I totally don't get), all sorts of stuff.
