Pronouncing acronyms
I've already picked up the fact that Spanish speakers, at least the ones whom I know, are not as fond of acronyms as English speakers - especially those who have military jobs - seem to be. Which makes me wonder, how are they usually spoken?
NATO=nay toe, but OTAN=oh tahn or oh teh ah eh-neh? UN=yew in, but I've heard ONU spoken as oh noo FARC=fark, but do Spanish speakers say it that way or eh-feh ah eh-reh seh? FSLN would obviously be eh-feh eh-seh eh-leh ehn, right? Just curious. The last two are the ones I was mainly interested in but didn't want to place them in the title, for political reasons! |
