HTH, Chris

I've been having a conversation with someone about the pronounciation of Skoda model names. I've added a poll to see what the general opinion is.

The skoda advert (which I assume is authoritative) pronounces it as far-bia.

I think it would then be oc-tar-via as well

Mine is pronounced Mon-deo

I pronounce Mondeo as Mon-dayo never heard any one pronounce it Mon-deo. :confused:

Can I vote twice please? Since I fondly refer to mine as "the bucket" (as are fine ocean-going liners).

Thats covered in the poll under the options with "ah" in the middle

I pronounce Mondeo as Mon-dayo never heard any one pronounce it Mon-deo. :confused:

Me too, ever since they wrote that song about it: "Mon-dayo, day-ay-ay-ay-yo; daylight comes..."

Uh, oh! this could develop into a holy war

Either pronunciation of Octavia is correct (for some values of "correct") - you can use the Czech pronunciation Octahvia, or you can pronounce it like the female name Octayvia. I prefer Octahvia.

Fabia must have a short 'a' - pronouncing it Faybia just doesn't sound right.

I'd always thought it was oct-ay-vee-a and Fab-eeh-a.

oc-tavia......for me.... commonly called a bag of sh*te!!!!

kit:)

'Fire Doors'

I agree - after all how many women refere to their fire doors as lay bia.

how many refer to it as lab-ia??? most just point and call it "down there"

Just a small point, but how many women refer to them at all? (Certainly within mens' hearing, unless an OBGY.)

But perhaps you are one and have better universal knowledge? :holmes:

Please consider this a mild reprimand :nono:

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... must rush out for my lunchtime takeaway
