[opus]

'tats'

:tpd: Let's make it easy on ourselves. I have always called them tats. That's pronounced......tats:ss

well.......I reserve "tats" for something else......

 

[ResIpsa]

Yeah but but for the sake of arguement if you listen to it he's clearly saying ta-too-wah-hey.

okay...potatoe.....potahtoe:r

 

[Darrell]

ta-too-wah-hey

That's how I say it. :tu

 

[PuffDaddy]

I heard many spanish speaking people in Ybor City FL say it
Ta-TWAH-hey
It sounds like 3 syllables instead of 4
My:2

How does one pronounce Cojonu? Coh-hone-u?

 

[floydpink]

This was brought up before with other cigar pronunciations.

One that wasn't brought up that has me stumped is Por larranaga. Anyone?

That's OK, I snuck it in after I posted, before the proverbial edit date stamp. That has saved me many times. :tu

I thought those were Ta Tas.:dr

In spanish a j is the equivalent of our h. Most spanish words get compressed in regular speech. Tatuaje is going to be pronounced Tah-twa-hey, but said so it sounds like it's got 2 syllable. Tah-twahey. That's the best I can try and explain it. Hope it helps,

Por Larranaga

Por Lar-a-nya-ga

Cojonu

Ko-ho-new

Remember also that there will be slight differences in how its pronounced even in Spanish depending on where the person speaking it is from or was taught to speak.

I've heard it pronounced both ways...

Close.
More like "Te tas".

Folks, walk into a Miami Spanish speaking shop and just ask them for Te-Tas.
(Te like in Ted, without the D. Tas like in Task, without the K.)
They will surely know what you are looking for.

I wish I could hear you try to say "twahey" as one syllable. I can't seem to be able to do it.:hn
