Would it be true-no? Or perhaps true-we-no?

Wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but I figured here was as good a place as any because of the infamy this car has among drifters.

:dunce:
 
putting it in real words:

true (as in not false) eh (Canadian vernacular) no (as in negative)

true-eh-no

accent's on the "eh". It's like the 'e' from "set".

That's it 👍. Trueno is the spanish word for Thunder.

Cool. I was beggining to wonder what language it was. :)

In Japan, it's pronounced to-le-no. With "le" part pronounced like "le" from lend, left, etc.
 
Actually, I'd say the Japanese pronounciation would be better broken down as "To-ru-eh-no". This reminds me of one of the things I kinda like about Japanese; the vowel sounds are exactly the same as those used in Spanish. 👍

There are some who pronounces it that way. Majority(think almost all) say to-le-no. Heck Toyota say it that way.

Another person to correct the Japanese pronounciation of a Japanese person. :D

No, it's pronounced loku. We don't have "r" sound in Japanese. Actually, many Japanese speaking friends laugh at the local kids(Oregon) who pronounce it roku.

That's surprisingly true.

The initial question is answered. Swift, where are you?
 
I've heard native Japanese speakers use the "r" sound in their speech. I'm 99% sure it's the "l" sound that's actually missing in Japanese.

To be 100% accurate, it's not "R" or "L", but it is much closer to "L" sound and not even close to "R".

English words are pronounced this way in Japanese:

rain - lain
rock - locku
read - leado

Yes, we suck at english, but not as bad as your japanese. :)
 
You guys should learn spanish.It's real easy in spanish you just need the accent.
It's like True-eh-no.It's not that hard.I dunno what It's spelled like in English since im from Puerto Rico and my primary laguage is Spanish.I'm only 14 so I don't practice English that often but back to topic I think it all depends what language your talking.

While were on the subject, how would you say Tsukuba the proper way, because i seem to say it wrong.

the way i say it would be tsoo koo ba, and i guess a high tone on 'ba'. 'tsoo' and 'koo' with the same tone and length(unlike if a person who spoke english would say it, they would probably say the 'koo' longer than 'tsoo' and and say 'ba' a tone lower)
