How to PRONOUNCE Ulloa

[Mellotron]

Now the signing is looking likely, we need to know how to say this bloke's name, otherwise I'm just going to refer to him as Leonardo.

I believe I'm right in saying that in Spanish (and Italian, I think?) a double L is pronounced like a Y, i.e. Iker Casillas.

With that in mind, is it "oo-yo-yah"? Or "oo-yo-ah"? Or something else?

Confused of Kemp Town.

No matter what people say about Spanish pronunciation norms, it's going to be pronounced like the famous Hawaiian greeting. Guaranteed.

Which should make our friend Ken Livingstone Seagull feel right at home if it gets sung when he visits.

"Mai Tais all round" ?

Chicken. Counting. Hatched ?

Chicken. Counting. Hatched ?

I said likely, not done.

 

[Stat Brother]

Spanish Len

Class.

That will do thread over.

 

[OSRGull]

Listening to the Spanish commentary it sounds like 'Oooyoaahh'

 

[OSRGull]

Spanish Len

1. He's Argentinian.

2. Len isn't even in his name.

 

[Kumquat]

How about we all just sing "His name is Leo and we can't pronounce his name"

 

[Dave the OAP]

its has to be..."FFS he cant hit a barn door either"

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I imagine it's "Uh-yo-ah"

But i'll be calling him OOh-low-ah

He came back to me and i'll tell you what he said
He told me
Ooh ee Ull-yo-ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang
Ooh ee Ull-yo-ah, ting tang, walla walla walla bing bang

I'm happy to ignore such trivialities in this case. Spanish Len it is.

I believe double LL in Spanish is pronounced J

So that would make it You-Jo-ah

Agreed. "Argentinien Leonardo" just doesn't have the same ring to it!

 

[Easy 10]

We need to work out a way of chanting his name without sounding like a bunch of RACISTS.

Don't want any more 'Sieg Heils' accusations by Daily Mail reporters now do we.

Argie Leo?
