Posted 28 April - Sorry for the silly topic, but this has always bugged me.

Here is the USA, announcers have said "Ayrton" and not in a couple other series "Airton" differently. So which is right? Posted 28 April - It's pronounced Bob I think it is aye-r-ton. Posted 28 April - Both pronounciations are widely used. Posted 28 April - Murray Walker isn't a good one if you want to know how to pronounce names, he also talkes about 'Schoemaker' haven't heard him recently tho.

Depends on who you've got tho, Dutch female speedskating commentator is over doing it, she's trying so hard she starts to pronounce all the names wrong! Posted 28 April - There's an old joke around here regarding racing drivers who have Scottish towns in their names- Stirling Moss, Jim Clark etc The punchline is, of course, Ayr Town Centre!

Posted 28 April - The pronounciation that I thought was correct was like "I-yair-ton" Cheever was asked to make a tribute to Ayrton Senna at a motor racing awards event shown on speedvision recently I believe and during the tribute he kept saying "artin". Posted 29 April - John - you're correct. Murray actually changed to that pronounceation in It annoyed the hell out of me for the few races that happened Brazilians saying it is one thing - Murray.

Posted 29 April - Correct. In during the Brazilian Grand Prix, Murray said that he had an 'audience' with Senna and that Ayrton told him that it was pronounced 'eye-air-ton'. Murray even kept it up for about half the race before reverting back to 'air-ton'. As mentioned above, Bob Varsha was about the only announcer who correctly pronounced Ayrton's name on a regular basis. Posted 29 April - Wow, that's one of the few things Varsha actually gets right during his broadcasts!

Posted 29 April - Thanks for the replies. So congratulations to Bob Varsha I guess. Thanks though, that's the funniest thing I've read in a while. Posted 03 September - While it's true that Finnish has a nearly perfect correlation between spelling and pronounciation as one of its defining characteristics, it doesn't mean that it's perfectly OK to apply that rule to foreign names. You're only instructed to do that when you don't know the correct pronounciation.

That's when, instead of making a creative guess and butchering a perfectly good name beyond recognition with a fancy-sounding but fundamentally erraneous pronounciation, you just say the name as it reads. Of course, should you do that to an English name, you'd come across as a complete idiot. Portuguese is relatively fair game, though.

Posted 03 September - Originally posted by AlesiUK u obviously dont read a lot ; Obviously not what you read.

Posted 03 September - Originally posted by AlesiUK it ie eye-air-ton This looks like a fine example of your scots language shining through. Posted 03 September - Actually, what people do not know is that Senna was half-Scottish and his first name was spelt, and pronounced, Colin. Posted 03 September - Originally posted by ensign14 Actually, what people do not know is that Senna was half-Scottish and his first name was spelt, and pronounced, Colin.

Would that be Coll-In , as in Chapman? Or Coal-in, as in Powell? Posted 03 September - According to Brazilian colleauge of mine: Ah-heer-toun. Posted 03 September - Thats another advantage for Nelson Piquet. Posted 03 September - I think some people need to learn how to pronounce his last name.

Posted 03 September - Oh, and the director was Sergio Leone Posted 03 September - Yes, but that is a completely different movie. Posted 03 September - Google came to assist me. Brutti, sporchi e cattivi It was quite close. Posted 04 September - Originally posted by michaelab I hope you're joking.

No such word as "pronounciation", Michael - it's "pronunciation". A lot of people have a habit of saying "noun" instead of "nun" when saying the word!!! I think a lot of people say "Air-tun" because it's rolls of the tongue easier than "eye-air-tun".

I think I just admitted my mistake in the previous post. Posted 04 September - there's the Minas Gerais variable, too Sorry, I didn't read it. Posted 04 September - Originally posted by austin I think some people need to learn how to pronounce his last name. The Brits like to turn "a" at the end of a word into "er. As for the pronunciation of "Ayrton," I usually just call him "Senna" because it's easier.

My Brazil colleague from Minas Gerais told me that that is how Ayrton is pronounced [earh-to]. Thanks Coyote. Posted 04 September - Originally posted by michaelab By "RH" I assume you mean an R pronounced from the back of the throat like German's do , in which case you are correct, allthough it's only Rs at the start of a word and in this case Ayrton its really not pronounced at all so is irelevant Brazilians pronounce the "gutteral" R from the throat at the start of words in a much softer way to the Portuguese, so much so that it can almost sound like an H.

I am Brazilian and you are absolutely right. In the beginning of a word we pronounce letter R accurately as who speek english pronounces a H. But the best way to pronounce Ayrton is Ah-eer-ton. The last name of Nelson Piquet you people also pronounce wrong.
