No, in English Mandoble IS pronounced Man-Doh-Bull. As far as the different ways to explain how to pronounce stuff, there is a 'standardized' way that goes in dictionaries and stuff, but most people just try to type out the right sounds.

Also, the emphasis in English for Mandoble is on the second syllable. Man-DOH-Bull.

In Spanish, it looks like the emphasis is on the third syllable- I.E. Man-doh-BLE.

I include an H on the end of stuff to 'soften' it, if that makes any sense. For me, Doh and Do are pronounced differently. Doh is, well... Doh. Lol. If you have ever watched the Simpsons you know what I mean. Do is DO. Like go DO this. Or even, Mountain Dew (the Dew is pronounced the same as DO).

I'm still kinda confused on how you actually say your name in Spanish. I'll have to get on AHV with you and have you say it

Lower jaw is mandible I believe. Mandoble, if you want to hear English as its supposed to be spoken, talk to a midwesterner. (Outside of Chicago.)

edit: my bad on the spelling

LOL Urchin you are porking the "MANDOBLE" pronunciation in each attempt. The emphasis is on the second silabe, "DOH", and "BLE" sound like anything but "BULL". Perhaps it sounds like "BLAIR" but not spelling the las "R". Cmon, it is extemely easy, here each vocal has an unique pronunciation independent of where you place it.

Lower yaw in spanish is "MANDIBULA", but if have that ammount of problems with "MANDOBLE" better dont try to spell "MANDIBULA"

The english language includes many instances of silent letters- most commonly, the final "e" of many of our words.

"Mandoble" (or "mandible") in english is pronounced "man'-duh-bl" without pronouncing the final "e". Note this is not a problem of an english-speaker misusing english, rather an unfamiliarity with the spanish pronunciation of a similar-looking word.

Urchin · « **Reply #19 on:** April 08, 2002, 12:33:20 PM »

Lol. Lower jaw is Mandible. Just looked it up since I was curious.

I think it is pronounced Man-Deh-Bull

.

Note, not Mand- I - Bull. Well, maybe in the South it is pronounced like that.

And if you want a real challenge, try "SUPERESCALIFRAGILISTICOESPIRA LIDOSO". And believe me, it is extremely easy to pronounce.

For lower jaw, it is "MAN" "DEE" "BOO" "LAAH" (mandibula).

Urchin · « **Reply #21 on:** April 08, 2002, 12:37:17 PM »

No, I could give a pretty fair rendition of "Mandibula" in Spanish pronounciation. Just never seen/heard Mandoble before, so I've got nothing to go on there lol.

The way you are typing it seems almost like it has a stereotypical (for me anyway) French pronounciation. Like Paris is Par E.

Mandoble is Man-DOH-Ble. I guess I'd say Ble like "Bleed"?

Still sounds more French than Spanish to me

. Guess I'm just stupid like that.

MANDOBLE · « **Reply #22 on:** April 08, 2002, 12:39:32 PM »

Urchin, you must fire your spanish teacher

And Paris would sound like "PAAREES", not PARE.

Urchin · « **Reply #23 on:** April 08, 2002, 12:50:06 PM »

Lol. I haven't taken Spanish in about 8 years. I was never real good at it to begin with to be honest

.

And no, in every movie and stuff I've watched (LOL), the French people pronounce it Par- E. They don't say the S on the end at all. Plus it seems like a Hard E, rather than a soft E, which is why I just said Par - E. Two syllables lol.

This is fun. I've had more fun with this stupid post than with any other post in a long time. We should do this sort of thing more often, I'm getting a kick out of it.

Oh yea, and between AHV cutting out and Minus' accent, I pick up about 1 word in 10 that he says. He'll say "Urchin, blah blah blah blah damn blah blah blah blah". I say something noncommital like "Uh-huh" because I don't know if he just said "Urchin, you are a stupid damn killstealing bastard and I just got done banging your mother" or if he said "Urchin, good kill on that damn Niki, go get some more" lol.

Well, you know Samson kicked the Philistine army's butt with the mandible of an ass.

Urchin · « **Reply #25 on:** April 08, 2002, 01:06:06 PM »

A tus sies. I knew what that meant as soon as I read it, but I wouldn't have been able to think it up myself. I guess that is where my Spanish skill is at (good or bad lol).

And I KNOW how to pronounce "seis" in Spanish, jerkoff

.

Course, I'll still have a horrible accent, but it'll come across ok.

I guess a translation of "A tus sies" is "at your 6" or "on your 6", right?

Point for you, that's right "at your six".

"PAA REES" is how Paris sounds in spanish.

Give me a minute and you'll learn how to spell the misterious world "MANDOBLE" ...

This is a fascinating thread, and Mandoble makes a valid point about language barriers and using AH voice.

It kind of makes you wonder about the reason for an international standard for air traffic control. .... Hmm. ... I wonder what that language would be?
