Model Name Pronunciation

[OlgaKorbut]

i know it's wrong but i always pronounced loiani as low-ee-ah-nee
how do u pronounce inguna's last name butane? i always said boo-tahn

I think you pronounce the 'e' as well, so something like bu-tah-ne. But I'm not sure at all.

Does anyone know if you say Caroline Trentini's name Carol line or Carolini?

This is my first post here

How is Cintia Dicker's first name pronounced? I've always wondered.

 

[mademoiselle_]

how you pronounce Doutzen

do-ut-zen?
or
dut-zen?

 

[fashionyork]

You know in portuguese the "I" sounds like "E" , so Carolini seems like a better fit

 

[fashionyork]

Alisa, Cintia name is pronounced the same way in english but in portuguese the T has a stronger sound.

 

[mademoiselle_]

you are right fashion york

 

[alisanicole]

Thanks, fashionyork!

 

[catalina]

cintia = "CINchia" -- t in portuguese before "i" is pronounced "Ch". first syllable is accented.

caroline = caroLIni
gisele = giSEli
--> l+e = "li"

jeisa = jhe-EE-za

 

[Gazillion]

yes its carolini

[kate_is_goddess]

gisele = giSEli
--> l+e = "li"

wow, I never thought of that way to pronounce her name! and do you say the g like in girl or like the ch in charming?

 

[catalina]

wow, I never thought of that way to pronounce her name! and do you say the g like in girl or like the ch in charming?

well.. it's kinda tough to explain...- you know the way of pronouncing the g in "Bellagio" (sp?) - as in the Vegas Bellagio casino? or in "genre-" as in "genre of music".- lol i dont know if you'll understand my example...
The G is a sort of "J" pronounciation in english, but not to rigid, more loose, like "Jh"....

I know!!!! "Collage" --- that "g" !!!

"gisele"

 

[iperlchen]

thanks catalina, your explanation cleared it all up for me!

 

[kate_is_goddess]

yeah right, I forgot that possibility! thanks catalina!

 

[catalina]

you're welcome guys, ,glad to have helped

 

[Mettchen]
