dumb question

[Curtisss]

How do you pronounce Daiwa?

 

Day-wa? Or Die-wa?

[uglyfish]

ur second choice up there lol.

[ccmtcanada]

I pronounce it die-wa.

[MJL]

It's neither...The D is silent

[kickingfrog]

I rarely say it, but I guess I pronounce it die-a-wa. Never gave it a second thought, until now... I'll have to change. I changed how I pronounce Rapala.

[Curtisss]

I know what you mean with Rapala. You used to put the emphasis on the first syllable? If so, me too.

[John Bacon]

I pronounce it Die-a-wa too... it doesn't make any less sense then how Bret Favre pronounces his name.

[NAW]

X3 for Die-A-Wa

[express168]

" Die-Wa you no catching no fish!" Use Abu Garcia is what a friend once told me.

[misfish]

Die-wa and rap-la

[bigugli]

Rapala should be pronounced rrrrapala. In Finnish the R's are rolled and the vowels are not silent.

Bought a new Daiwa spinning reel this winter---better say it right

[limeyangler]

With an English accent?

There is no such thing as an English accent. There are cockers, scousers, taffs, micks, geordies, etc.....

I have to concede you are right....in a way...but Micks and Taffs would shoot you for suggesting they are English and i have no idea what 'cockers' are...not sure i want to....lol.

A Taff I knew who absolutly loathed cockneys, called them cockers.

 

Us colonials also didn't like being called "wogs"
