Sagatun or Saga - Freddie's new box. Which name ?
Hi Guys. I've never started a poll on t'interweb before, so forgive me if i've dropped a bollock !
So freddie boy's new pre is almost upon us, but that name.... are you a Saga, or a Sagatun laddie/lassie ?
Choose now and say why !!!!
Maybe Mr. L. may just decide to change it, and although this is a bit of fun, and it IS Fredrik's baby and in no way are we here to try and change his mind......

Sorry i made a spelling typo, i hate that !!
I knew i'd drop a nut !!
Anyway, i just wanted to say that Sagatun fits in more with the Lejonklou name much more, and along with the products already made. Saga is just an English word meaning pain in the bum to me , plus it just sounds way cooler !!!!

Although I said in the preamp thread that I was for Sagatun, I am now waffling on it. The reason is that I just looked up Saga in the dictionary and found this definition:
a prose narrative recorded in Iceland in the 12th and 13th centuries of historic or legendary figures and events of the heroic age of Norway and Iceland
Somehow legendary figures of the heroic age sounds pretty good to me. Not to mention the struggle I know Fredrik went through to build it. So now I'm leaning a bit more to Saga, but I would be happy either way. Therefore I'm not voting.
Seeing what Charlie1 slipped in while I was typing causes me to say that the pronunciation over here would be more like Sahgah with the emphasis on the first syllable.

In Swedish:
Saga is pronounced with 'Sa' as in 'Sardine' and 'ga' as in 'Gaffa'.
Sagatun is pronounced with 'tun' as in 'cartoon'.
EDIT: Sorry I messed it up at first. The above should be roughly correct.

I told you he's good at that. However, it really doesn't matter in the US as Tune and the toon of cartoon are pronounced the same way (at least here - I can't vouch for pronunciation in the South or the East coast).
But I'm still not 100% clear as I don't know how to pronounce Gaffa? The Sa from Sardine is the same as we would say it here, though. Here is a link to the dictionary entry which has the definitions and the pronunciation I am used to:

I do agree with Charlie1 that I like Sagatun better knowing it sounds like tune. That makes it a Tune with Saga (a heroic story). Works for me.

I'm not completely convinced about this version either, thinking about it I think that the Swedish "u" is quite difficult to find in English?lejonklou wrote:In Swedish:

Swedish pronounciation of Y and U can be difficult. But I think my example is close enough. Maybe you'd like to record yourself saying it and share with us, Azazello?Azazello wrote:I'm not completely convinced about this version either, thinking about it I think that the Swedish "u" is quite difficult to find in English?lejonklou wrote:In Swedish:

Thomas, your Merriam-webster link refused to play me the audio. I think one difference is that we emphasize and let the tone rise on the last vowel. Both in Saga (saGA) and Sagatun (sagaTOON).
Let me know if this link works:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.ph ... %20ˈsa-%5C
It is the direct link to the audio window.

Not on my iphone. But the M-W app has no problem pronouncing it.ThomasOK wrote:Let me know if this link works:
Thanks. Sagatun currently seems to win over Saga by 5:1.Ozzzy189 wrote:My girlfriend says.../
Anyone curious how it performs? I was told yesterday there would be some feedback posted soon. In the other thread, I presume.
