Pronouncing "Bvlgari"

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Do you pronounce it like this: Bul-gar-E

or like this: Bul-gair-E

Just curious on what the proper pronounciation is.

Well, it's sort of like bul-gar-e. You don't stress any particular vowel.

Found a link for you: http://www.forvo.com/word/bulgari/

I have found the oddcast text to speech demo quite helpful for pronunciation. http://www.oddcast.com/demos/tts/emotion.html

A Loooooong time ago, I had a friend who worked for Bulgari in London - back then,I wasn't sure myself , how to pronounce it- he said, it is pronounced as BULL- garee.

Definitely BULL-guh--ree... (soft emphasis on the first, least on the second, and slight emphasis on the third.)

The Bvlgari store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago pronounced it just like in saripatates' youtube.com link. BULL-GA-REE.

Bull + Gary = BullGary.

No emphasis on any syllable.

It's clearly bivvel-gary. I particularly enjoy the fragrance Bee elL Vee
at least according to some of the idiots I've heard shopping in department stores.

Srsly though, BULL-garee.
