Nah, you guys are getting it all wrong.
You cannot do other than pronunciate a latin word in an english manner, which is incorrect.
You have to think more like a spanish or an italian when you want to pronunciate the words, otherwise you´ll be butchering it all.

What about caespitosa?

k-s-pi-toes-a

IDK, but this is funny reading.

Oh, names that end in "ii" such as williamsii, I just say i. In other words williams-i. :tongue2:

Good link at the top BTW. And poppygod, google does not answer how ppl here pronounce things, does it? That was the second part of my question afterall. :rolleyes: Thats cool though. I hear ya.

Ok it seems that the urge to communicate with home depot sellers is more important than the correctness in the practical life.

But if you were talking to someone who knows his shit, then you´ll be sounding stupid!

Silo-sibe

has always looked/sounded right to me.




Same here, at least that's how i read it. Curecat confused me by calling it "sil-O-si-be" or something similar in another pronunciation thread ages ago.
I still say "silo" because i prefer it.

I do suck at pronouncing things though. I have a habit of skimming over a word instead of taking time to see how it's built. Then when i come to say it out loud i catch myself pronouncing the first syllable then making up the rest in a uncomfortable half tongue tied fashion,, :lol:.

OR...

Casper-tosser :awesome:

I think as long as people know what you are talking about, it is pronounced right.

lol so what?
there is no correct or incorrect way to pronounce them...
so either way we sound stupid for saying it "incorrectly" in our own accent or saying it "incorrectly" in an italian accent...

i'd like to hear how "caespitosa" sounds when you have a brazillian accent and trying to say a latin word in an italian accent! :lol:

Lol now its just crazy talk.
I´m not saying I´m the owner of the truth, far away from that. Its that my father knows lots of latin, he teaches me stuff.

Opuntia = O-pun-cia

Latin is a dead language so having a certain 'correct' Latin pronounciation is pretty irrelevant.  How often do you talk to people in ancient Rome?  Especially when some of the people who named the species had intented for the names to be pronounced in a non-Latin manner.

Toe-mate-toe

Toe-ma-toe

Sound it out and pronounce it as is comfortable to you.  If someone can understand what you're referring to, then you said it good enough.  That's all words are worth in communication, it doesn't matter how you sound as long as another person can understand you.

I do often talk to people about scientific names, and yes, there is a correct pronounce. Any latin dictionary has the proper pronounce of the words.

I don't worry about pronunciation so much, if I can at least get the word semi-right and still bastardize it with my American English then it's A-OK with me.
