A quick question reguarding Tein

[moparwagonz]

How is it pronounced , ive been assuming it was pronounced "Tine" , is this right or wrong?

[hondaguy]

i just say it "T" "N" thats just a weird word like "bride" is pronounced "brid" that really trip me out

[AadosX]

Heh, this has been asked before. It doesn't really matter. I think in Japan it's pronounced TAIN, but here in the U.S. I actually called about 5 times, every time they answered TEEN. Maybe with a little bit of I in there, but def. not noticable, so like TEA'N (if that makes sense).

[itslogics]

say TE like tea then IN but smoothly........

[mrmephistopheles]

i pronounce it 'kuh-rap'

:D

[pruto]

i pronounce it 'kuh-rap'

:D

ahahahaha :werd:

[DuffMan]

i pronounce it 'kuh-rap'

:D
incorrect

btw its supposed to be pronounced like TAIN, but not emphasizing the TAI part as much. Its almost as if it were 2 sylobols, with the second one emphasized, but not quite.

i pronounce it 'kuh-rap'

:D

don't make me whip out the ban stick. :fawk2:

[Ghettokracker71]

don't make me whip out the ban stick. :fawk2:
lmao good one.....

I always thought it looked like it should be said "tane" like tan with a long a....

[Brian W.]

Similar to how 5Zigen in Japan is pronounced "GoZigen"

[Heartwork]

i just say it "T" "N" thats just a weird word like "bride" is pronounced "bird" that really trip me out
Tein=Tayne
Bride=Brid, not BIRD, ahhahahah

[bustav13t]

yeah, it's pronounced as tAin, which rhymes with cane

[wylin]

Similar to how 5Zigen in Japan is pronounced "GoZigen"

" five chic ken "

[Salty_X]

Tein=Tayne
Bride=Brid, not BIRD, ahhahahah
Damn, now I'm confused. I've always pronounced Tein like Tayne, but once I started going to meets and stuff everybody I talked to says it like Tea'Inn, so I started saying that instead...
I think my main problem is that I'm white and therefore don't think my pronounciation of Japanese brand names is ever correct, so I just listen to everybody else.

No more! From now on I call it Tayne, bishes!! :rl:

[Brian]

maybe a problem solver would be to not buy Teins. just buy something like HKS. can't get that one wrong!

[Salty_X]

That's why the rest of my suspension stuff is going to be from SPL Parts, acronyms are impossible to mispronounce. :)

[Var]

It's pronounced like this ---> Tein. what's the problem

[TRUENOCOUPE]

We are in america.

I wouldn't want to show someone what seat I have then say "I have a BRID Seats"

TEH-YEN.

[nightwalker]

just ask someone who's french how it's pronounced. Tein is the french word for handling or grip I believe.

[Shin_Kudo]

I've been thinking that it should be "tay-in", as it's short for "Technical Innovation",which I guess would be "TEkunikaru INobashon"

[Hawd]

I heard non fujita say tayne when I stoped by his shop to check out what he has available. I used to say tea in, but since he is japanese I'm guessing tayne is the correct way to pronounce it.

[alkemyst]

in japan the vowels are:

a = 'ah'
e = 'ay' (like our long A)
i = 'ee' (like our long E)
o = same, long O sound
u = 'ew'

so a Japanese person would say TayEen which may or may not be equal to 'tayne'.

Å

[KiDyNomiTe]

its spronounce like tain, pain tain, same thing.

They tell you how to pronounce it in thier magazine ads.

[nightwalker]

it's still a french word

[Hawd]

tayne tain same shit, I guess i meant tay-in

[ultraprince]

it is in a tein ad and it says clearly: pronounced (TANE)

[moparwagonz]

hahah this is pretty funny, so i guess you could say it's like taint w/o the t? :p

[DRFT]

maybe a problem solver would be to not buy Teins. just buy something like HKS. can't get that one wrong!

so would HKS be pronounced "ha-kaS"? haha j/k!
:w00t:

[DoriftoSlut]

Hu'KSSSS. And i heard that from a JDM dude so yah.

[Maeda]

Don't even get started on Greddy...

nay my friend. every single japanese person i asked says you pronounce it, tain, rhymes with pain, maybe with a slight wierdness in the middle, but definitely not tey-eeen

[sykikchimp]

lol.. this is funny..

I always pronounce it Tea-in

I heard some kid running the Wendy's drive-thru say "So, do you have 'Teen' suspension on that?" (refering to the sticker on my friends car).. lol

TANE it is. :)

[alkemyst]

nay my friend. every single japanese person i asked says you pronounce it, tain, rhymes with pain, maybe with a slight wierdness in the middle, but definitely not tey-eeen

tey-eeen = tayne/tain/pain to me with japanese vowel sounds...I don't think we are disagreeing on that.
