Plz solve pronunciation argument!

[JM1982]

This is a quick and easy fix for an argument between friends.

Bredli - pronounced "bredly" or "bredleye"

 

[Trimeresurus]

The latter.

 

[saximus]

Second one. It was named for Josef Bredl and all Latin names honouring individuals end with the i pronounced "eye"

 

[JM1982]

Solved.


Cheers!

And thanks for the insight!
Just wanted to show my friend up, turns out 'eye' learnt something as well!!

Thanks Saximus'i'

[saximus]

ok, how do you pronounce tanami, as in woma

Same but that's a place not a Latin name

 

[hnn17]

like a tsunami ?

 

[saximus]

Nope with the "eye" pronunciation

 

[JM1982]

Lol, what have eye started!

Eye am glad Saximus was able to clear it it.


Eye also have something to admit, eye was the friend that got it wrong.
Eye thought it was bredl'y'.

(Eye couldn't keep it to myself after everyone else has been so honest)

The title of that thread "The Bredli Threadly" would always get under my skin because you don't pronounce it "threadli".
