You must talk funny How do you differentiate between harry and hairy? Do you say hare, as in rabbit, different too?

kuh - mare - oh! I think this thread is getting derailed.

 

That's easy, Harry and Hairy don't sound alike if you're saying them right..

Here's another couple words. Harrowing. Harold.

'Hare' is the same way you're saying the 'ar' in Camaro, it's just incorrect in Camaro. Hare and Hair are said the same. The 'e' in Hare gives the 'a' a hard sound. In Camaro there is no E to give it a hard a sound. All simple english.

 

who said anything about ca - mae -ro? that would sound like ca - may - ro...that's just crazy talk!

so are you saying it is suppose to sound like ca - ma (sounding like maw?) - ro ?

crazy talk i say!!!

 

listen to the pronunciation of it around 17 seconds or so

LOL No, not as in 'maw'. God I hate text based conversations. LOL I was just using the breakdown to show there's nothing even vaguely like an 'e' to get the 'mare' you're insisting is correct.

All I can do is add more words that (if said correctly) sound like the 'a' portion in Camaro.

GrAduation
CongrAtulations
Apple

The best way to say it is it should sound just like the word 'marrow' (as in bone) as long as you're saying it how it's supposed to be said with the a said the same as in apple.

Unless there is an E 2 letters away from the A it's not pronounced hard (like Mare), it's pronounced soft (like all the words I've listed previously).

I need to find my mic so I can just record some proper english and post it online. LOL

 

I'm not saying it's not a prevelant mispronunciation. But it doesn't make it correct.

As I said I've heard it MANY times. That does not mean it's the right way to say it. It's an accent thing.

EDIT- Here's a bit directly from the dictionary.

Marrow - Mar-Oh (Pronunciation Guide shows the 'a' being said the same as Apple or Cat)

Aero - Air-Oh

Many people tend to say the aero for 'aro' where it should be 'arrow' (no aero and arrow do NOT sound the same). Popular or not, still not correct.

 

Ok..

Miustang: 7 years without any competition and yet still not worth having. Well, here's what you wanted.... 2009 Camaro

 

aero and the "arrow" in marrow are pronounced the same. you stay in your foreign country of jersey with all your funny talk. you might as well move to the U.K. and stay out of the U.S. where we know how to speak English properly!!!

you say that popular or not, still not correct. how do you figure? correct by who's standard? Are you saying that GM, in all of its advertising, pronounces "Camaro" incorrectly?

this is difficult to debate online. these posts, if spoken face to face, would be a 10 second conversation. With me winning in the end

camaro is pronounced come - aero

not come - a (as in "A"pple) - ro

 

pronounced like
Kuh - http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/cgi-b...w01.wav=marrow

 

I agree that it's pronounced like "marrow", as shown in the two clips linked in the quotes above, and I contend that the most accurate plaintext breakdown of that pronunciation is "kuh-mare-oh".

Ellwyn, any vowel can make an A long -- it doesn't have to be an E.

Camara
Camare
Camari
Camaro
Camaru

The first two syllables of each of those would be pronounced the same way.

 

Aero and Arrow are not pronounced the same. Look it up in the dictionary.

The A in arrow is pronounced same as the A in Apple A-row.

By plain English language rules Kuh-Maero is incorrect for a word spelled Camaro. It would have to be spelled Camaero or Camare-o to sound like you (and many others) say it.

You're 2nd pronunciation is correct. The A is the same as in apple.

Marrow, Camaro, Graduation, Cat, Hat, Fat, Rat, Mat, Apple, Rap, Tap, Arrow, Larry, Harry, Marry

All of the above words use the A in the same way. Look them all up (except the names) in the dictionary.

WHERE THE HECK IS MY MICROPHONE!!!! LOL

 

Here is what the dictionary has for your words-

Camara \Ca"ma*ra\

None of the other words are even there...

Though I won't argue that Camare (whatever that is) IS pronounced Kuh-Mare obviously. Camari (whatever that is) would be Kuh-Marr-E

In any event the Camara above has the same usage of the 2nd A in the pronunciation guide as all the other words I've been listing. The A is pronounced just as in Apple.

Only an E makes the vowel hard(long). Otherwise the word Camera would be Cam-E-Ruh.

I think someone in the past mixed up the words Camaro and Chimaera to get this abomination Kuh-Maero. LOL

 

Ya know, I must have missed this.

You all do realize that they are saying this with the A pronounced just like Apple right??

This is exactly how I say it. There's no Aero in what they said.

Mah-Ro is what they said.

 

The two clips (now that I noticed the 2nd one and listened to it) aren't the same.

The video says Aero, the other (correct one, I mean it IS the dictionary) is saying Marrow same as I've been contending it should be, with the A as in apple.

 

Ok, go here for a correct pronunciation of the words listed below-


Marrow, Camaro, Graduation, Cat, Hat, Fat, Rat, Mat, Apple, Rap, Tap, Arrow, Larry, Harry, Marry

Not an 'aero' in site. LOL Unfortunately geocities will only allow it to be heard a couple times before it says I've surpassed my bandwidth. Any other suggestions on sites that don't limit it so much?
