Re: hmmm Well, I use Sony-Ericsson. I think it is the child from a marriage of Viking guy who attacked Japan. Or a Japanese guy who attacked some nordic nation. Android, man.
Imagine how nice it looks when the Fall comes and everyone is using rubber boot.... City full of those... Maybe it would make a great tourist attraction
Sony-Ericsson is the unholy alliance of ugly designed cellphones with good system backing and lovely design from a company that makes stereo equpiment and consoles. I never really did understand the why of that merge, but the outcome is quite ok.
In finnish language 'Finni' is a substantive.Translated to english 'finni' is a zip, spot, pimple. Finn is our country's international name comes from swedish word 'fin', which means pretty or beatiful.The finnish name is Suomi, which comes from words 'Suo' = swamp, quagmire, morass.And 'mi' was beforetimes 'maa' which is land, ground, earth.
IIRC the correct pronounciation of NOKIA is [nok'ia], as opposed to the anglicised version of [nou'kia]. BTW- My Nokia's from Hungary IIRC, the previous one was also Hungarian. The last Finnish Nokia I had was the 5100 (ages ago- well actually the previous century).
As I understand it, the correct pronunciation is two syllables: "no-kia" For some reason in the USA, most people pronounce it with THREE syllables: NO- KEY- AH. I've heard several of my friends from Suomi declare that NOKIA is NOT a Japanese company!
In finnish it has three (for al) syllables. no-ki-a. Loose the "h". Simple, it's pronounced exactly as it is written. It's not polish. And nowadays nokia seems to be a US company just keeping a HQ in F-land.(some US based investor group).
wow, the past couple weeks havent been kind to looseleaf first getting confused about electrics/electronics/teslas and now pretending he's the authority on nokia's pronunciation when he was actually f-ing it up looseleaf, you should make sure you have a handle on life's simpler details before you make big claims (about world governments, for instance) learn to crawl before you try to walk
Humankind. Was this thread about IIRC? Nokia made good studded tires, Hakkapellitta, FTW. Humankind, all in all, unless we count the bad eggs, humankind is beautiful. Same kind of beautiful that Donald Sutherland is on about in 'Kelly's heroes'. With the right mindset, many things are beautiful.
"Kelly's Heroes" is a GREAT film, on many levels. "Odd Ball" was the proto-beatnik-hippie/hipster. Unlike Moriarty, he understood the importance of "positive waves". Even in deep in the shit ; war, death, destruction, Odd Ball looked and found beauty and purpose and took time to enjoy those fleeting pleasures of Life.
One of the first Finnish words I was told. I think one day I will build a computer, or maybe some other product of the same name!
http://forvo.com/search-fi/nokia/ That sound's like [nok:ia] to me... so I was not so far off with the correct pronounciation. And that's just two syllabes. A seprate vowel never forms a whole syllabe (as in airfix's no-ki-a proposal).
