i am making this topic because it almost pisses me off that people don't know how to pronounce "vasquez"

most people say "vas-kwez"

it's really "va-kay"

i just thought that i would make this topic, since i have a friend wit the same last name and it makes me mad when people pronounce that wrong too. xd

does it make anyone mad that people don't pronounce it right?...

did you learn something today?... i'm just wondering... hehe.

I guess the people on that Anime Stuff Z special pronounced Vasquez wrong too. sweatdrop
Listening to that helped me how to pronounce Jhonen.

I think it's pronounced 'vas-kez'. the u is silent i believe.

But then... I could be wrong....

If you guys listen to the DVD commentaries (if you have it) It's all pronounced by the man himself.

Joe-nen Vas-kez.

I know for sure that its "joe-nen" and I'm fairly certain is "vas-kez."

Where did you see it as "va-kay"? I've seen tons of people with the last name Vasquez and it's always been "vas-kez."

Just wondering. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just want to know where you found this out. Becuase I've always been sure it was "vas-kez." eek

It´s Spanish.. the "u" isn´t silent.. they pronounce "que" as "kay" and "cue" as "kway". It SHOULD be "Vah-skeys".

Jhonen... I dunno, that´s a good question.. either Joe-nen or Hoe-nen.. possibly the "h" makes the "J" sound like the American "J", I dunno.

I knew someone who tried to pronounce Jhonen "Johann", I threw a fit.

Zhe commentaries help you learn stuff. Yay. "Joe-nin Vas-kez". I used to think it was "Joe-nin Vas-kwez".
