kickingfrog Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisss Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I know what you mean with Rapala. You used to put the emphasis on the first syllable? If so, me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I pronounce it Die-a-wa too... it doesn't make any less sense then how Bret Favre pronounces his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Rapala should be pronounced rrrrapala. In Finnish the R's are rolled and the vowels are not silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 With an English accent? There is no such thing as an English accent. There are cockers, scousers, taffs, micks, geordies, etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
