Sourced it from a forum page on cars.
Happy 10:10:10 yesterday.
Except for the french cars, must of these European cars may be pronounced phonetically at hindi with an american twang. Mas mahirap pa bigkasin ang french cuisine o di kaya pabango.
Try this: Yves Saint Laurent. : )
Ang hirap i-pronounce. But I learned a lot today. =)
Naalala ko tuloy when my husband tested me if I knew the pronunciation, I just guessed "pi-jot", hehe. Seven in your list has been familiar to me after that =)
Hahah! Ayos ito. Gusto ko yung word dyan na CAYENNE- bumibili pa naman ako niyan sa supermarket. U
This is great, Nebz! But Citroen is pronounced "sitro-en". With all the mute letters of French, don't ask why for this one :) Honestly, I don't know some of the cars you mentioned!
