Why do people say Pergeot when it is clearly Pewgeot?
Answers:
Actually its Perjhoe. French.
because people are by nature retarded.
it isnt either.it is actually peugeot
It's pronounced per-got you weirdo because it's a french word. Only the americans say pewgot and that's cos they can't speak. The end.
It's actually pronounced Po-geot, as in peu, as in French word for 'a little'.
megtownson is correct. Its'a french work=d so you pronounce it as they do. Why do Americans prononunce everything fentically!
cos its French and they pronunce things differently
the car is french. the word "peu" in french (meaning "little" or "few") is pronounced like "per" in english (eg. "PERsia").
geot ought then to be pronounced "ge" as in "gem" and "ot" as in "aw" in english.
to say PEWgeot is rather far-fetched, what would be the logical explanation for that?
I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that but might giggle a bit!
Because some people can't pronounce names properly, it's a bit like Michelin, it's pronounced meeshilahn, not mitchelin, wheres the "T"? Or Audi is pronounced Ahwdi not owdi. I do know how spell incidentally, I'm typing phonetically! My Grandad used to pronounce it pewjit!
Let me ask you this:
Do you sah Shev-roh-lay or Chev-row-let?
