Moning all

Just had a discussion with a mate, he pronounces it -

You-less-ease

I pronounce it

You-lease

I've heard lots of people pronouncing it as per the first one.

I'd be interested to know other opinions / pronunciations.

That way.

For it to be the first one, it'd be Ulysses

My sentiments exactly, but almost everyone i've spoken to (Including Fiat dealership i might add) pronounces it with the S on the end.

Well then they're idiots

Not sure about Italian, but in Spain it is pronounced something like "Ooo-Lee-Say".

Ooo, nice, i like that.

Heres the link to Wikipedia site info re Eurovans, a little way down the page it says the name was taken from the Roman name for Odysseus which is Ulysses!

I've always read it as ;
you - lee - say .. yulisay works for me.. as they say,

there was a kids animation series @ 15 /20 years ago called Ulysees 31,
I was hoping to see a "special edition"..when the Ulysee launched.

I loved that show

Si is correct on the foundation of the word Ulysse as being taken from the word for Odysseus. which would be Ulysses ( You-Li-Seas).

as fiat removed the 's' from the end the Correct pronunctiation would be:

You - Li- Sea

"You'll-ease" is how I pronounce it

You -Will-See's

You la see, always have, always will.

Ulysse. That's it. If you want to anglicise/phoneticise it, it would be "You-leasse" No "s" on the end, any more than the "n" or the "o" in Monsieur is articulated... Actually in French Ulysse means Ulysses, but in Italian it translates as..."Ulysse".
