I feel like I am trying to mimi Sean Connery when saying it correctly.

I hope the link works for you guys.
It is a documentary made by Serbian National Television.
In first 40 seconds they pronounce the word Tesla twice, that is how the serbs, croats and bosnians say it so i guess that is the correct way because it is a word taken from our language.
If there are more questions, i am a native speaker (and so is Mitrovic, i think)
Best regards.
Also, I do like the Southafrican pronounciation that Musk practises.
Thanks a lot.
I have to say that I'm hearing "Tesla" [tɛslə]
as opposed to "Teshla" [tɛʃlə]
In other words, in my book this whole issue is moot.
Also, I do like the Southafrican pronounciation that Musk practises.
I'm South African.
I have no idea where Elon got that pronunciation from, but it wasn't from South Africa...
In general Elon's accent isn't truly South African anymore - its been muddled a bit over the years from living over here. (Mine has as well).
Leo DiCaprio did a great job at SA accent in Blood Diamond, don't you think?
You're kidding of course. (I hope). Leo changed every second word slipping from one pronunciation to another.
In Japan it would be I ruv my :love:Tesaru.
Yes, we Brits say 'Jag-yoo-uh, which is "wrong", but so is jagwahr and jag-yoo-ahr, since it's from Portuguese from Tupi and the j in Portuguese is a zh. Pronounce it zha-'gwar, and the r depends on where the Portuguese speaker is from, which leaves a lot of potential for being a pretentious place-dropper.
I'm thrilled that Elon Musk has chosen to honor Tesla with a series of groundbreaking electric vehicles bering his name.
And that's why it's all messed up now. Kind of like how ginormous has started making it's way into dictionaries. It's not a proper word.
Personally, I hate the way pronunciation is not more precise in the English language.
Why not? What is a "proper" word? Ginormous has a specific meaning which is why it started to be used in the 1940's. Sure, you can say enormous, or gigantic, but ginormous is bigger than both of those. What word do we have for that? Words do not usually come about unless there is a need, or new things are invented that require them. What I find unfortunate is that we have lost the use of so many words, not that we add new ones.
