G'day all,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows the correct pronunciation of the following brands. I get sick trying to decide everytime i'm reading HPI
Defi Deaf-E or Defy, as in defying gravity?
Bride Bride, as in bride and groom or Bree-Day or Bry-Day?
GReddy Gready, as in Get Ready said quickly or Gee-Ready?
JUN Jun like Nun or jUn said like this - 
Cusco Kuss-Coh (coh as in doh!) or Cuss(as in Puss)-Coh?
OSGiken O-S-Guy-Ken or O-S-Gick-En?
Tomei Tome-Ey or Tommy?
Motul Moe-Tule or Moe-Tull?
Hope you can understand my dodgy pronunciation explanations :
|
the japanese names are usually mispronounced..
toh-yoh-ta
seh-rii-ka (the US actually pronounes this correctly  )
deh-fi (as in fee but shorter)
bride is something like boo-rie-deh (or do)
JUN is like june but shorter
cusco.. kusko as in doh... not as in puss.. more like pus 
tomei toh may (toh is like the first part of tock, but without ck..)
motul in japan would be moh-tuh-ruu
