Originally posted by austin I think some people need to learn how to pronounce his last name. I just hate it when commentators call him "Senner". Originally posted by coyoteBR there's the Minas Gerais variable, too Originally posted by michaelab By "RH" I assume you mean an R pronounced from the back of the throat like German's do , in which case you are correct, allthough it's only Rs at the start of a word and in this case Ayrton its really not pronounced at all so is irelevant Brazilians pronounce the "gutteral" R from the throat at the start of words in a much softer way to the Portuguese, so much so that it can almost sound like an H.
On the topic, Ah-eer-ton, Ah-yeer-ton, eye-ear-ton - they're all the same if you're pronouncing them as an English person would. All rights reserved. Community Forum Software by IP.

Though, admittedly, he's not Brazilian Posted 03 September - I- air- torn. Posted 03 September - it ie eye-air-ton murray walker pronounced it correctly that way for a while,but stopped as the brit viewers were confused.
Apparently Senna pulled him up about changing it,he had been watching the brit tv recordings! Posted 03 September - 2F is most correct so far, but it's more like " Eye-ear-ton ".
Eye and ear pronounced like the bits you see and hear with It's definitely 3 syllables, and the stress is on the middle one ear. I'm English, but I live in Portugal and all the Portuguese commentators pronounce it that way and it's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced by the many Brazilians I've spoken to.

Posted 03 September - It certainly is Eye-ear-ton, I have a half Brazillian maternal mate at Uni who grew up in Sao Paulo and it was literally the first question I ever asked him.
I hope you're joking. Posted 03 September - There was a story about Ayrton from Murray Walker, where Murray says that early in his career he was always very careful to pronounce it "Eye-air-ton" Senna, which is apparently correct.
But later on, he says he got a bit sloppy and perhaps influenced by the lazier maority of journalists who simply said "Air-tin" Senna. Murray and Ayrton were pretty good friends, and while Ayrton had never bothered to correct other journalists for their laziness, he apparently saw fit to buttonhole Murray in the pitlane one day to ask "Murray, what ever happened to Eye-Air-Ton?
I guess Murray straightened up again after that. Posted 03 September - Try: ah-eerton. Posted 03 September - Originally posted by ffiloseta Try: ah-eerton. It's difficult to get the phonetic spelling right without using the proper phonetic alphabet which I don't know and wouldn't work on the web anyway but "ah-eerton" and "eye-ear-ton" are pretty much the same thing when you say them out loud Michael. Posted 03 September - Thats Ah-eyrh-ton, thrust me. But thats an ugly, old fashioned name from 19th century, anyway.

Brazilians: Correct pronunciation of "Ayrton? Please log in to reply. Posted 28 April - Sorry for the silly topic, but this has always bugged me. Here is the USA, announcers have said "Ayrton" and not in a couple other series "Airton" differently.
So which is right? Posted 28 April - It's pronounced Bob I think it is aye-r-ton. Posted 28 April - Both pronounciations are widely used. Posted 28 April - Murray Walker isn't a good one if you want to know how to pronounce names, he also talkes about 'Schoemaker' haven't heard him recently tho. Depends on who you've got tho, Dutch female speedskating commentator is over doing it, she's trying so hard she starts to pronounce all the names wrong!
Posted 28 April - There's an old joke around here regarding racing drivers who have Scottish towns in their names- Stirling Moss, Jim Clark etc The punchline is, of course, Ayr Town Centre!
Posted 28 April - The pronounciation that I thought was correct was like "I-yair-ton" Cheever was asked to make a tribute to Ayrton Senna at a motor racing awards event shown on speedvision recently I believe and during the tribute he kept saying "artin". Posted 29 April - John - you're correct. Murray actually changed to that pronounceation in It annoyed the hell out of me for the few races that happened Brazilians saying it is one thing - Murray.
Posted 29 April - Correct. In during the Brazilian Grand Prix, Murray said that he had an 'audience' with Senna and that Ayrton told him that it was pronounced 'eye-air-ton'. Murray even kept it up for about half the race before reverting back to 'air-ton'.
