All this Tatuaje talk...

And since I can't find any of those fancy named runs....I'd really like to know:

How exactly is "Tatuaje" pronounced?

I've hit You Tube figuring that was the best way to find out, and I've heard it pronounced at least 4 different ways, even in interviews with Pete.

If I call a shop looking for the upcoming special release, I don't want to sound like a nitwit mispronouncing the brand name! :rolleyes:

So how is Tatuaje pronounced??

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

I have been told it is pronounced "Tat A Who Wa Jay"

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

It is spanish for tattoo:

"Tattoo ah hey" is the best I can spell it to make sense, haha.

Here is a link you can listen to the word:

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Tatuaje is a Spanish word. In Spanish the letters nearly always sound just as they are spelled. In this case it is Tah-too-awe-hay. Or, when spoken in normal conversation it can easily sound blurred into Taht-wah-hay.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

In spanish it would be: Tah-Too-Ah-hey (with a hard "h" as in Juan)

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

By "Jay" you man "hay" right?

This is the clearest pronunciation I've found.

Edit to add: I typed too slow...it looks like others have pointed out what I was thinking.

Thanks much guys!

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Thanks Shane and Mickey, I had no clue either. Turn out I was pronouncing it correctly but all by chance.

EDIT: and everybody else :)

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Ahh see, my newb questions are proving useful after all! :r

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

This would be the best way 2-go....

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

I'm sorry but I've never heard it with the "A-who" in there, just "who"

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Gesundheit.

:r:r:r

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Please, for the love of Pete.. Go with this one!!!:tu

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

This is great, but the harsh j is regional. One region that uses this is Texas.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Harsh j, huh?:r

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

I vote for referring to them as Tats :-)

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Tatuaje is Spanish for "extremely annoying limited editions".

And is clearly pronounced OH VER RAY TID :lr

:D I've always pronounced it TAT TWO AH HEY. Could be wrong but I've heard the word said in movies and TV shows, that seems to be the consensus.





I hope everyone understands I'm just messing around :D

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Moved to "All Cigar Discussion" as this is not a review.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Nice review.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Just call them Tats. We all know what it means.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Yep. That's what I learned in my Spanish classes back in the day. And that's what all of the Mexican Tejanos I've ever known have confirmed. I'm not sure if it's the same "harsh j" that is being spoken of here, but I remember it as very throaty. Kind of, guttural.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Sounds romantic! :r

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

My bad, I missed that this was *only* for reviews.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Great interview by the late Gary Artz may he r.i.p....

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Thank God I've been pronouncing it right all this time. Although I have just said Tats and have never had a problem.

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

No worries, just giving you a hard time. :D

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Ta tua heh

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Sometimes I say Tatuahehehehehehe

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

This made me LOL

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

Here, on the Texas border, we say "Taht-WAH-heh"

Just like it's "hal-eh-PAY-nyo", not "PEE-nyo" for jalapeño. Drives me nuts....

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

I usually pronounce it "you gota be ****ing kidding me" when I see the price

Re: All this Tatuaje talk....
 

"Pay" would actually be the correct pronunciation of the "e" vowel in Spanish. The Americanized "Pee-nyo" is incorrect, though more common in the US.
