Members TheAmazingBlob Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 How would you folks pronounce this word? Man-doo-rah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Giga Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was spelled Koch. They had a roofing business with the name in HUGE letters all over their trucks.I guess the best way to find out is call the company and see how the receptionist pronunces the name. "Hello, Koch amps, how can I help you?" Wasn't it Kock ? That would explain the difference Giga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Giga Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Like in "Loch Ness"Dutch. Yes, that's the correct local pronounciation Giga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I cringe when people say "May-ssa". It's painful. Like the name Megan. It's supposed to be said "Mee-gan". I've heard people pronounce it as "May-gun", even "Megg-Ann". Sometimes, I just do, not, get it.. Not in the US. It's always Megg-un or May-gun, never Meeg-gan, and almost never a male's name. That being said, it's May-sah, just like the Spanish word for "table" and the name of the city in Arizona that Mesa Engineering started in.

Members petejt Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Man-doo-rah That's how most Western Australians say it too. Although some, like the Train Announcer Chick (VERY articulated posh well-spoken voice), emphasises the "D" so it sounds a little heavier. When I first saw & said the word, I pronounced it "Man-JEWW-rah". I got poked and prodded for saying it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AART Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Koch-> "Kosh". Like David "Koshee" Koch on Sunrise. No. Koch is like Loch Ness. But you americans can't say that right? It's the classic dutch ch sound. Oh, and if you wanna try something cool, try 'scheve schoenen schuiven scheveningen scheef'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and if you wanna try something cool, try 'scheve schoenen schuiven scheveningen scheef'. So how exactly do you pronounce Loch? We pronounce it as Lock, thus Koch would sound like cock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wasn't it Kock ? That would explain the differenceGiga. Nope it was spelled Koch. No pronunciation rules when it comes to names. "Worchestershire" for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure about Mesa's place of origin? I always thought Randall was originally an amp tech in San Francisco and then moved to Petaluma. I could be wrong though.

I always thought Randall was originally an amp tech in San Francisco and then moved to Petaluma.I could be wrong though. I thought I've also read that Randall picked the name because he liked the way it sounded and thought it sounded official. I don't ever remember reading that it was because they started in Mesa Arizona. EDIT: Found it: "Anyway, I needed an official sounding name to buy pistons and such from Mercedes as well as for ordering ready-mix trucks full of concrete and Mesa Engineering seemed to have a familiar, professional ring. It would have been much harder to get trade prices calling myself Boogie Engineering!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 No.Koch is like Loch Ness. But you americans can't say that right?It's the classic dutch ch sound. You quoted me. But, I am not American. I say "Loch" as "Lockhh", with a heavy throaty grating "H" sound, like the phrase "La Cheim". I say the name "Koch" as "Kosh", because that is how I hear it pronounced by a man with that surname, and people around him. Eg. Eric Bana @ 3:20, says Kochie as "Koshee" [YOUTUBE]hQK34kAzp7w[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members exafro Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 nah man. that's the NYC/Boston accent. The only NY thing in there is "Fenda."
