Bride spelled backwards = rad!

FairladyZ10PG · 02-04-2014, 03:12 PM

I first saw the seats on Modified magazine and I didn't even know it was bride backwards. My first thought was it was some kind of cheap knockoff lol.

I've always been told they were pronounced like Brid

but with a doh at the end. "brid doh"

then it sounds more like buritto.

That's bs. There's clearly an "e" at the end. I always wondered why BMW's where pronounced "douche." Now we know

Haha. It IS pronounced "Brid". It even says it on the front of their catalogs how to pronounce the name.

like mazda where it's supposed to be pronunced "matsuda." no one in japan (unless a f- case) calls mazda a 'mazda.'

Always heard "Brid" from our Japanese contacts, but I'll sell "Brides" all day without the need to correct anyone about it

Eh I just say it as bride. This whole thing reminds me of this woman I know named Margot, who insists her name is pronounced with a hard T at the end, like the word "got". It's french, and the t is supposed to be silent. I don't care how many times she reminds the world how to pronounce her name, she's always wrong, and the T is always silent in my head :P

I find the name funny, they use an english word for the name, but because japanese can't pronounce the english syllables the pronounce it as brid and then feel the need to correct us on the company name. If they wanted to correct us they should have just used the hiragana bi ri to びりと

But the french and english use the same characters so saying its french and needs to be pronounced differently is acceptable, it's not like they use a different alphabet that doesn't have the ot sound but then spelled it in english as ot and then tried to tell us we're wrong in french you spell it ot and pronounce it oh so in france the name margot is actually margo. when the japanese use the roman characters they have no right to tell us to pronounce it differently, you want us to say birriddo then spell it right in the first place instead of trying not to admit you translated it wrong, or just use your own language and then correct us. Tien pulls the same ****.
