Daniel Kalal Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Haven't heard anyone of authority say Norge.Italian members,please enlighten us! Nor-gay?Norj,rhymes with gorge?Nor-jea? Here's what I've learned. Alis Agostini says NORjay in which the "jay" is really understated and the whole word has a sing-song flair. A real Norwegian I know (only recently in the US) says his country's name is pronounced Norgeh in which the "geh" is only a little less stated than the "Nor" and the "geh" is neither "gay" nor "guh" but "geh" Both could be correct, depending on how you look at it, but I think it must be proper to pronounce it the way the Italians would pronounce it.

It is kind hard to know what the proper thing to call it is. Could just call it V12SP. or Since in Italian Norway is Norvegia, we could call it NORvehGeeea instead of NORjay...but that does not make alot of sense. or why couldn't they just call it a Falcone!!!! Hopefully they are reserving that name for the MGS012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
