Pronunciations?

[godfather]

Do like me. Just pronounce "J" like "H", and then keep the cigar in your mouth while talking to cover up any other errors.

Recent conversation:

"What are you smoking?"

Me: ""Thiz iv a Royal Hamaican"

"You're smoking ham and bacon?! Get that cigar out of your mouth when you're talking"

LMAO!!!!!

ka-roho......sig-lo.....

is that sig like cigarette or sig like seeg? isn't 'i' in spanish an ee sound?

[bigpoppapuff]

i've always heard it pronounced as sig lo...sig as in cig......

[cls515]

as I posted earlier, the I in spanish is pronounced the same as the e in see. To be correct, Siglo is pronounced, see - glow. In Americanish, sig-lo is the pronunciation.

How about "Ligero"?

I visited Ybor City, FLA last month and met Felix of Tampa Cigar. Felix is a native Cuban.

Felilx pronouonces ligero "LI - YER - OH" almost like the spanish "J" pronounced as an English "H".

I have always thought it was a hard G as in "Gut".

Opinions?
