https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh5eis0sMHI
say gah like the startup sound

I hear "seh gah", not "say gah"
se (seh) ga (gah)
Service Games
Why always Sega? Nobody ever asks how to pronounce Nintendo, Sony, Atari, Commodore, IBM, Apple etc.
>>3195936
That's a good question.
Here's how I pronounce these:
Nintendo: Neen-ten-doh
Sony: Soh-nee
Atari: Ah-Tah-Ree
Commodore: Koh-Moh-Dohrr
IBM: Eye Be Em
Apple: Ah'pl.
>>3195936
>Nintey-uhndo
>Sun-e
>Atta-ree
>Co-mo-dor-ray
>ihb-em
>App-lee
>>3195936
How many ways can you actually pronounce IBM?
>>3195940
Get normie;
Nin ten doe
Soh nee
Ah Tar Ree
Cah mah dohr
IBM
Aa pl
>>3195942
As one word like the Arab ibn.
>>3195945
normies pronounce Sony like Sawney
>>3195935
Saabisu geemu
>>3195948
Not where I live, maybe in the south or something.
>>3195952
It was sage all along
>>3195929

the latin alphabet surely doesn't fit english and french languages
Not this thread again.

Turn on your genesis with Sonic cart inserted.
That's how it's pronounced. You have to sing it that way too.
>>3195931
The startup of Sonic, you mean?
Sega

In Italy, traditionally (even in old commercials) is "See-Ga", because sega in italian means "saw" and it's a slang term for handjob. However, nowadays among enthusiasts is pronounced in the correct way.

In old commercial for Megadrive (Genesis) in french.

10/10 kek'd heartily
Gonna start pronouncing it oosb
>>3196280
In no universe do Americans add an -r to the end of vowels. That's a Britfag thing.
Obviously the Japanese pronunciations are correct.
セガ SeGa
にんてんどう NiNTeNDô
ソニー SoNî
アタリ ATaRi
コモドール KoMoDo-Ru
アイビーエム AIBi-EMu

>>3195934
how can you hear seh when it clearly says AY. it doesnt say eh it says ay. Sega rhymes with mega.
Unless you fucking retards call it a meagadrive or something
>>3197215
English language and pronounciation is a fucking diaster anyway. How many fucking ways of pronouncing the vowel A do you have?
>>3195929
sage hahhhh
say-ger

>>3197219
too many english is stupid but its still less stupid than faggot latin languages, only germanic is real
>>3197228
spoken like a true kebab
>>3197215
So, mega is pronounced "mayga"?
>>3195929
sayga
>>3195952
It was founded in America as Service Games, the Japs had nothing to do with it.
>>3195942
Only one way is correct. Just like you pronounce ssnehzzz
>>3197118
lol, saved
>>3195929
SO GAY. amirite?
>>3197252
No the sound is like half between ay and eh. I say mega like maguh not mea gah or maygah and it goes the same for sega
>>3195929
Disappointment.

Well it's like my Uncle Hans, who raped me as a boy, would always say: You can't spell "Sega" without "Putrid Dog Shit"!

Those don't count, they are Japanese transliterations of English words, or in the case of IBM, a three letter abbreviation.

Kabushiki Kaisha SEGA
>>3195948
you must not know any normies if you think this
It's pronounced like this you big dummy.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0MlYcWGAJvH
>>3195929
Correct: sehguh
Amerifat: saygar
Crikey m8: seegah
>>3200391
Which is the same as Co. Ltd. in english.
It's pronounced セガ.
These arguments are absolutely retarded.
>>3201278
>it's pronounced SEGA
yeah, we're in the same problem.
Many languages have different ways of pronouncing vowels.

The anchors and correspondents on the BBC news that's broadcast in the USA do it from time to time. I've heard it in other places as well. Just because you haven't doesn't actually mean you haven't, in fact, it more likely means that even you do it so you don't notice.
Comma door.
>>3195929
They tell you when you put the game in

In Italian the name of this company is embarassing, because "Sega" means bot "saw" (the tool) and "mastrurbation", so commercials always pronounced it "Siga" (see-gah) .
I think every italian kid who played Sonic turned down the TV volume when the company logo appeared.
Another fun fact, in some italian southern dialects "Nintendo" sounds like "I don't undersant".
