Sergio Martinez - pronounced how?

Spaniards had a gay King that talked with a lisp so they copied him since Spaniards are fruity by nature, so most of them still today have a lisp. Imagine saying Sergio as gay and feminine as humanly possible - that's how you say it properly. Sometimes it helps to make a limp wrist when saying his name as well. Hahahah. True story, all of it.

sare hee ohh sergio.

How do Argies pronounce the name Sergio? Is it "Ser-gee-oh", "Ser-jee-ohh" or "Ser-hee-oh"? I seem to hear the 2nd one a lot, especially by broadcasters, but I also remember hearing something about the 3rd one being native. (And yes, I know that they speak a funny kinda Italian-sounding dialect of Spanish in Argentina.) sair he oh is about closest i can think of if you want a spanish(argentine) pronunciation and really dont go on the way broadcasters pronounce foreign names, they aint got a damn clue, especially the english commentators. theyre getting paid to say these guys names, they could at least spend 5 minutes asking and practicing before making a tit of themselves

Donaire is really not Do nayre, but Do nye re... That's something I picked up from Lupe Contreras - he's a badass announcer! I love the way he says "Quien es el maaaas Machoooo?" :D Many years ago I used to think it was Doñaire with the squiggly N, as in "Don-yeer".

There are lots of foreign names, places, things that are pronounced differently by English speakers. They can pronounced Italy well, but not Iraq, for example. Padilla is pronounced Pa diya. Castillo, Cas tiyo. Donaire is really not Do nayre, but Do nye re...

G is "he" in spanish always. I hope you aren't trolling by the way. Nah man, see my posts above - I've always been interested in languages. And I'm a Martinez supporter, so it was something that came to mind. :cool:

I don't really give a **** about pronunciation, everybody has a different accent any way. Yea, but I want to know specifically how Argies or Martinez himself pronounces it. Not other Spanish-speakers. Plus, I dig accents/dialects of any lingo - the variety is great.

the G sound is different as you move through the latin American world. certain spanish speaking people are going to say it differently. argentina has a very european sounding spanish, at least ot my ears, for south america .

Reminds me of all the different ways people was pronouncing Rigo's name. Ri-gon-dough ri-gon-de-ow ri-gon-dow Etc etc Oh yea, I've heard all the variations from ESPN to HBO. Funny stuff. :D I tend to say "Ri-gon-dough" these days, with a rolled R. But since the latter part of it sounds kinda French-like, maybe the R shouldn't be rolled...? With a lisp. Thergio. Not sure if serious, but if so - proper Spanish-Spanish-style, but the G is not an H?
