[Coaster]

Can i please buy a vowel

Adelaide radio gave this whole topic a huge spray.

The correct word is "pronunciation" not "pronounciation"

LOL

WTF were you on about?

A couple of absolute stinkers in recent weeks

Masada Yossifer and Marvan Caruana (brother of Chris, I guess)

Iosefa= Ee-Ore (like the donkey in Winnie the Pooh)-Sear-Fah

Karawana- emphasise the second syllable, not the third.

The commentators in yesterdays game had trouble with Akuila Uate's (A-koo-la Oo-a-te) surname. The first half they were fine, referring to him as Uate, but in the second half he became Uake :?

Obviously, with such a Kiwi contingent, it was necessary to clear it up. Some of them are near impossible to pronounce.
Vagana is apparently Vung-gana, Gulavao is Nulla-vow, and Jeremy Smith is actually Jer-e-me Smith...

Isn't it spelt pronunciation, not pronounciation? Not sure, but I think it is.

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah I realise I spelled pronunciation wrong, but what's this about Adelaide radio?

Surely a grammatical error on the Internet doesn't warrant further discussion.

I dont see how hard it is Ray Warren pronounces Faalogos name like 5 different ways in a single game.

Its pretty easy to remember the letter g in samoan is pronounced like ng in sing so:

Lagi Setu = Lung-ee Setu
David Faalogo = Fa-ahh-law-ngaw
Nigel Vagana = Va-nga-na
Sam Tagataese = Tah-nga-tah-eh-seh

I mean when we get to Fijian is where the problem is. For me at least. Civenociva is pronounced something like Thivehnothiva or something like that.

You just need to hear someone pronounce it a few times then its sweet.

 

[Paul Hewson]

David Faalogo = Fa-ahh-law-ngaw

It is actually pronounced like this: Fa-ah-long-o

 

[shinobi]

It is actually pronounced like this: Fa-ah-long-o

Um no sorry it isnt.

O's are pronounced like aw so law-ngaw but said faster. Its the same for all polynesian languages. So Sione is pronounced See-Aw-neh not see-oh-nee.
