Pronouncing numerical names

The one I care for the moment, the four thirty, cuatro treinta, quattro trenta.

 

Whichever way it comes out. I really don't know how I say it.

 

Thirty-six Zero. Thirty-five Five. Fifty-Seven Five. Twenty-Five Zero...those fluent in Italian already know this.

Interesting question...

I've never heard anyone pronounce the 308 as "three zero eight" or "three hundred eight". It's always "three, oh, eight". But, in France the literal french translation of the 308 is "three hundred eight". [toi cent huit -- which sounds like "twa saun wheat" to most of us.]

The 328 to me has always been "three twenty-eight" instead of "three, two, eight".

But, I've heard the 246 dino as "two, four, six" and also "two forty-six". I never thought about it before.

 

I usually say four thirty, three sixty, etc. But for the V12s I tend to say four five six, five seven five, five nine nine, etc.

 

430 - Four Thirty
360 - Three Sixty
355 - Three fifty five
348 - Worst Ferrari Ever (well, that's what Luca said)
328 - Three Twenty eight
308 - three OH eight
246 - Almost a Ferrari
206 - Almost a 246

It goes on and on.

599 - Five Ninety nine
575 - Five Seventy five
550 - I want one
612 -Six Twelve

And that's how I hear it 99% of the time.

I have never hear Three Zero Eight, Two four six, Three Five Five, or any other such nonsense. But, to each to his own, I guess.
