Bombardier

[knighttime]

I was watching TV last night and saw a commercial for a new Bombardier utility quad. I think the quad is made in a French part of Canada because they pronounced it bomb-BARD-ee-ay.

It sounded weird. Has anyone else heard it pronounced that way?

:confused:

[Juggalo]

yep[ thats the correct pronounciation. my friends and i get into arguements over this a lot but i'm always right. it is bom-bard-ee-ay and they are a french canadian company.

[JustRace]

Yep thats how i say it too.

Down here in KY we call it a "bomb-ba-deer" but we can call it that cuz we ****ry...:D

[Nausty]

we call it bomb-ba-deer around here too. SO really it should sound like bombaday???

[knighttime]

It should sound like "bomb-BARD-ee-ay. I will never say it that way though. It's just like the hockey goalie Patrick Roy. I know the announcers on tv say Roy as "waa", but in the USA it should be just plain "roy".

:huh

[Nausty]

ok I just had a hard time understanding the ee-ay part but after saying it over and over I think i get how it should sound.

[Blysster]

yup they are made in Valcourt Quebec.. which is all french.

we call 'em "bomb-a-deer" here too but the right way to pronounce is "bomb are dee ay"

I think we are just too lazy to pronounce that extra syllable

[Guy400]

I always pronounced it Bombardier :D

Actually, I've always called it bomb-BAR-dee-ay since that's the way the French say it. The Japanese call it HON-da, they wouldn't expect the British to call it a ON-der. Have you ever listened to some of those British World Superbike announcers?? "Max Biaggi on his ON-der takes the lead..."

["BLAHH"300!!]

....ya'll er all messed up man....

..."BOMB-BAR-DUR"....
like a pilot or something that's bombing something
