is it TILE or TEAL? just wondering.

 

I guess if you chose between those two, it would be Tile. But, its Ty-all if you want to be real specific in describing how to say it.

 

from what my friend from japan told me its pronounced tie-al

 

well then! good info. i always thought it was TEAL

 

Isn't Tial an American product?

 

i thought it was like dial (the soap) but with a t

 

yeah they're made about 40 min from my house, in owosso michigan

well since were on the subject..how do you pronounce "tein"?

 

this is a funny post. we should have a spelling bee next, lol, and i think its "Tee-in"

 

 

tea-in

 

I say Tial like Dial also. What about Tein? is it Tee-in? I was curious about that to. I always said it like "Tayne". But then now that I think about it I havent said that word very much at all.

 

Its like the same kinda flooring that you have in your bathroom.

 

I've always thought it was "teal"....It sounds cooler...tie-al sounds really gay

 

how do you pronouce "mugen", i say MU-GIN

 

we saw a japanese ad for the wastegates and he read it in japanese and it said tie-al...thats why hehe i know sounds odd its an american product...oh tein is pronoucned taye-in....i thought it was tee-in as well, but again we read it in japanese and they do syllables...so thats how i pronounce it, how its meant to be...

 

I always though TiAl was supposed to represent the abreviations for titanium and aluminum. As such, I always thought it was pronounced tye-al.

Mugen is pronounced moo-genn, with a with an elongated U sound and hard G.

okay, how do you say MUGEN???

 

how do you say locked? jk hehe

 

Moo-gen

 

Mooooo Jen

 

kinda reminds of street fighter the video game when ryu does his special signature moves like the flying uppercut and fireball...

 

no way dude... its

HIII RUUUUU KEN!

 

Haha depends on how old your house is, alot of houses have carpet in the bath. Mine did until I laid tile in there. ****, mine even had carpet in the damn kitchen until I bought it!!!!!


Anywa, Tial is TILE and Tein would be TINE if it's German. Otherwise I have no clue but Tein would be a shoe-in for a German name.

 

MU (pronounced moo as in moon) means nothing or none...used to negate a word when used as a prefix Kanji: 無

GEN (pronounced GEN hard with a G as in GATE) means limit or boundry. Kanji :限

Mu-Gen is a compound word (adjective adverb or proper noun)...together its pronounced Moo-Gen and mean "unlimited" or "boundryless" kanji:　無限


Japanese people would pronounce TEIN as Tee-in or te-in with the e being either short or long depending on the dialect of the person speaking.


And I still TEAL sounds a lot cooler than tie-al!
