Title: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: DucatiBastard on July 08, 2009, 05:56:35 PM For as long as I've been into bikes, I thought it was pronounced moto goo-zee (phoenetically-sp?) The other day i was talking to another rider and he pronounced it moto goot-zee
Which is correct? just wonderin' Title: Re: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: zarn02 on July 08, 2009, 06:03:10 PM I think it's the second one. In Italian the 'zz' is pronounced 'tse' I believe, like in 'pizza'.

Title: Re: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: DucatiBastard on July 08, 2009, 06:10:46 PM ahhhh, got it. Dunno why I didn't think of the pizza thing. And Randi, that forvo site is interesting, definitely deserves another look.
Title: Re: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: fastwin on July 08, 2009, 06:12:18 PM You are getting too technical. In Texas I call my '78 Guzzi LeMans a PastaRocket! [laugh] Seriously, I think the Goot-Zee part seems right. What the hell do I know? Ask an Italian. Hell the Brits on SpeedTV narrating the WSBK and MotoGP races call the Ducs "dew catis". [laugh]

Title: Re: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: DrDesmo on July 08, 2009, 07:05:08 PM Try saying it with a valentino rossi-esque accent. It simply won't work as goo-zey
( seriously, say it out loud ... then say goot - zey ;D ) Adam Title: Re: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: Jarvicious on July 08, 2009, 07:19:25 PM They also say Honder :)

Title: Re: Moto Guzzi: How do you say it? Post by: ungeheuer on July 08, 2009, 08:39:06 PM I know that it is Gut-Tsi... but I feel like a bit of a pratt saying it like that, so for me it'll reamin Moto Guzzi (Thats Guzzi with a "u" as in "us" not as in the Israeli sub-mauchine gun ;-)
