How do you say Akropovic?

[JackN]

I have an important question that needs to be settled.
How do you guys pronounce the name Akropovic? Myself and my friends have always said "Ack-row-pove-ick." My wife works at a dealership that sells Can-Am products. In the Can-Am employee training videos for their machines, she says they pronounce Akropovic as "A-crap-o-vick". I'd never heard that before.
What do you guys say?

I think that's how 99% of American's pronounce it. I did for years and was told once at a rally the proper pronunciation but I could never remember the right way so I defaulted to what I always called it. I guess it really doesn't matter as long as your pronunciation doesn't sound like "Yoshimura"

 

[Poohbear]

They are based in Slovenia and therefore it is pronounced A-krap-o-vich with the emphasis on the second syllable (krap). However we English pronounce it Akra-po-vic

 

[greg the pole]

i thought you needed a big wallet to say it as well...

 

[Timmeh]

I pronounce it Yoshimura.

 

[Madhatter]

if you pay that much for it you can pronounce it any way you want... like how do you pronounce tenere, well its my bike and this is texas so its ten- er- rey ....the dealers kept trying to tell me it sounds similer to canary... not my bike. have fun its yours.

Since when did you Americans start worrying about how to pronounce anything anyway, particularly English?
