As we are an international bunch of people who love our Celicas, I was wondering how you write 'Celica' in a different language.

To start off I found this link:

I am using an online translator for this, so it may be different, but I checked, and Dutch, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, and quite a few other languages are the same. Written differently but pronounced the same. Since I cheated, I'd like to hear from other people who actually speak the languages how it would be.

I only speak english and spanish, but celica would be the same for both. McDonnalds is McDonnalds rather it's in europe or japan, Africa or brazil. It dosen't matter. a name is the same in different languages. Just like your personal name is still the same, while it may be pronounced differently by people whom dont speak the same language as it (your name) came from, it's still intended to be the same.

I pronounce it differently in Dutch, but it's not like I can verbalize that online.

You speak Dutch? Neat!

I'm pretty fluent in English. I don't like to brag or anything, but I've been known to have a conversation or two in English. tongue.gif

Anyway, back on topic. Could you describe to me how to pronounce Celica differently in Dutch? I'm curious to know. san0, good topic! I'm curious too.

Hard to do...it just has to do with a certain culture's dialect and how they form words, i.e. the letter I is pronounced in Dutch like the E in English...it's complicated.

I can break it down to say-lee-ka.

Pronounce is definitely different:

- for example directly from Japanese its: SERIKA
- I know in Germany and here in Czech Republic many people pronounce it as: CHELIKA
- I have heard also pronounce that sounds like "silly car" wink.gif so: SILIKA
- and finally (I believe the most spread) is: SELIKA

I hope you get my explanations biggrin.gif

note: see my avatar smile.gif that bold (katakana) text is Celica in Japanese wink.gif

Because different languages put different emphasis on different letters. And he probably thinks the same thing in reverse, Because he's not used to the "S-Sound" rolleyes.gif

Hi. There are several different Ce*-words with different pronounciation.

A few examples:

Cello ("Chello")
Cellolite, Cellophan, Celsius ("TZellophan", "TZelsius")

But I can't think of any Ce*-word with a prounounced "S".

Aber wenn dir eines einfällt, kannst du gerne eines Vorschlagen. biggrin.gif

This is the Japanese translation... I don't think Celica has a Kanji character(s)

This is Serika in Katakana

SE - RI - KA


This is Serika in Hiragana:

SE - RI - KA

Toyota in Katakana:

TO - YO - TA

Toyota in Hiragana:

TO - YO - TA

I got another one. This one isn't any particular language, it's just my own interpretation of the word "Celica."

Slowica.

It doesn't really apply to you GT4 guys, or really anybody's car but my own. But I frequently refer to mine as the Slowica.

Please please please please don't use that! That's such a pretty and feminine name for "Celica"! It has nothing to do with being powerful or fast or whatsoever!

Cantonese: 司力架 (See-Lig-Gah), with "Lig" meaning powerful
China (Mandarin): 赛利卡 (Chai-Lee-Ka), with "Chai" meaning competition

I donno how Taiwanese people call it though...
