I have a weird question, how do you pronounce nanjg?
I just realized that I was pronouncing it as “nan-jing,” which is far from what it really is.
Help me so that I don’t feel weird whenever ordering a Nanjg driver. :bigsmile:
So far we have:
7 x “nan-jing”
2 x “nan-jay-gee”
5 x “nan-jig”
1 x “nundge”
4 x “nang”
4 x “nan-jang”
2 x “nange-guh”
1 x “nan-gee”
1 x “nunshg”
1 x “nan-jigga”
Updated until post 49.

I pronounce it, nan (nun), J, G.
But my native language is Greek so i could be doing the same thing as you. :bigsmile:

Thanks for your input. That was the first thing that came into my mind when I realized that my initial pronunciation wasn’t correct.
I wonder who named these drivers Nanjg. Thanks again.

Nan-jig?? That´s how I say it. Must admit though, I try never to actually say it when anyone is around :-)

I’ve been pronouncing it “nan-jing” too. I suspect a lot of people do. It kind of just rolls off the tongue.

I’ve never actually had to say it out loud, but in my mind, I’d been thinking “nan-jig”.
Ryan, “nan-jay-gee” kind of sounds like “nan-tae-jee” or “nan-dae-jee” (since you’re in Korea, and, I’m assuming speak Korean :laughing:. Just kidding :)!
Edit: I, too, am also curious where the name cames from, or what it means/stands for?

Hahaha, yup, I got that. xD
Stockton-Rob:
Naanj-guh
I’m actually having a hard time pronouncing that.
Nevertheless, added!
Edit: Ah, I just got what you said.
Mind if I combine yours with RedForrest’s pronunciation?
I pronounce it NANJG
I’d say ‘nange-guh’ if I had to sound it out.
