How do you say certain Ferrari's names?

it's quite funny in this topic... to see how people call each model series..

 

How about Tubi? Is it pronounced too-be like "to be or not to be"? Or tubby?

 

Have you conceded Nothern Ireland to the IRA?

 

Just before reading this, I noticed I always said six-one-twelve, but this would equate to 6112.

Darn, thats going to be a hard habit to break....

 

stra-DAH-leh

 

So Clarkson was saying it right.

 

No Northern Ireland is still part of the UK, however it isnt part of Britian (which is of course an island made up of England / Scotland / Wales),

Unless of course somebody towed it across the irish sea last night whilst I was asleep (damn students first it was painting the super lamb bannana now this!)........just poping down the road to check

 

OK, so how do you pronounce "Mondial"?

mon-dial (as in: "dial the telephone")
mon-dee-ALL (as in: "I want them all")
mon-dee-AL (as in: "My friend Big Al")

I have always said mon-dial but I understand that is wrong.

Birdman

BTW, It's three-oh-eight as far as I'm concerned!

 

mon-dee-AL (as in: "My friend Big Al")

 

That how I say it

Hmmm

I say:

360 Three Sixty
355 Three Five Five

Having thought about it my rule is:

if Digit3 = "0"
{
Say Digit1 + Digit23;
}
else
{
Say Digit1 + Digit2 + Digit3;
}

Actually, knowing my head its more like:

Say Digit1;
if Digit3 = "0"
{
Say Digit23;
}
else
{
Say Digit2 + Digit3;
}

 

For real Italian tongue-twisters associated (at one time or another) with Ferrari, consider "superleggera" or "supercortemaggiore"!

 

1 year = five-hundred-twentyfive-thousand-six-hundred minutes!


....sorry....had to.

 

4-30
3-60
3-5-5
3-4-8
3-2-8
3-O-8(zero doesn't have the same ring)
5-50
5-7-5
6-12
4-5-6
The above sounds the best, with numbers but if u say 3-60 or 3-6-0 its not like you are incorrectly speaking the numbers out. sixty or six - zero is still said in the correct english no matter what accent you have.

Now Italian words on the other hand, like Modena eeek I want to hurt ppl everytime I hear it said wrong, but I guess its not your fault if you are taught incorrectly

 

Hmmm 1st "feature" discovered...

Say Digit1;
if Digit3 = "0"
{
Say Digit23;
}
else
{
if Digit2 = "0"
{
Say "O" + Digit3;
}
else
{
Say Digit2 + Digit3;
}
}

Which I guess means a "300" (if it existed) would be a 3 hundred ... sounds about right .

 

I have heard it called tuddy before, but that from my sister. I have also heard Testarossa been called testosterone. On the other names I am with Doc Cosgrove.

 

modena= mah-de-nah

 

ok, I feel dumb asking this, but how do you pronounce Scaglietti? Mr. Kalikow said it the correct way when we were talking about the car, but I cant exactly recall it fully. I think he said Scay-etti or Sky-etti, but not totall sure. Can someone fill my in?

Oh and for all those who are still calling it Barchetta(pronouncing 'ch' as in church)-it actually bar-k-etta. Just so you dont emabarrass yoursleves at the next Ferrari meet

 

SLUTMOBILE - (slut'-mo'beel) n. Distinctive Ferrari 512m with sexual prowess or aura. adj. that which attracts females who wish to mate

 

Ive heard Scal-ietti, but ive heard Scay-etti as well. A lot of times when I just quickly say the name in my mind it sounds like Scag-lietti

 

You must be a Ferrari Market Letter subscriber...

 

A friend is in the commercial airline industry and it is intresting how they pronounce the name of planes, specifically Boeing. It is opposite of most of us, for instance a seven forty seven is a seven four seven, a seven thirty seven is seven three seven, and so on. The only one I have heard that sounds right is triple seven.

 

308: three-oh-eight
328: three-twenty-eight
348: three four eight
355: three-five - five
360: three-sixty
456: four-five-six
612: six-one-two
550: five-fifty
575: five-seven-five
430: four-thirty
400: four-hundred
512: five-twelve
333: three-thirtythree
365: three-six-five

 

This is how i say it:
note: "x" just means some number.
If 2nd n 3rd digit zero, jus say "x" hundred. e.g. 400 = four hundred.
If 2nd digit is zero but not 3rd, say "x" "oh" "x". e.g. 308 = three-oh-eight.
If 2nd digit is not zero, but 3rd is zero, say the 1st digit and treat 2nd and third as one number. e.g. 360 = three-sixty.
If all three digit are not zero, just say them seperately. e.g. 575 = five-seven-five.
Hmm, looking back my explanation seems to be awfully complicated ><" haha.
oh, and i would pronounce Scaglietti as "sca-li-etti" bascially just treat the "g" as silent and pronounce the "sca" part like in "scare"
