Hermosillo, in the translator.

vote
Oh my word, I was going to recommend the translator to a new member for pronunciation, I thought I had better check it first. When I typed "hermosillo" into the translator,and selected"listen" I almost fell off my chair, glass of wine in hand of course.The "english translation is hilarious!
Jejej I fixed my error subrepticiamente.

I had a similar reaction when I saw the price of jitomates today...what are they in your area? We are up to 32.9 pesos a kilo - mountaingirl123, Mar 30, 2011
They are almost the same here, we are of course fuera la estacion, but with the extreme cold we had the price will surely remain high. - pacofinkler, Mar 30, 2011
And you say "jitomates" we say "tomates" - pacofinkler, Mar 30, 2011
seriously? You say "tomates" up there? I'm not very familiar with much in the north...we always said jitomates here in the center and also in the south. - mountaingirl123, Mar 30, 2011
Are your "tomates" round or oblong? The "jitomates" are oblomg, but there are also "tomates de bola" which are the round ones. - mountaingirl123, Mar 30, 2011
en el supermercado a tomate is a tomate italian or other.they don't differentiate,except by price - pacofinkler, Mar 30, 2011
interesting...it must be the Nahuatl influence down here, since apparently "jitomate" originated from Nahuatl - mountaingirl123, Mar 30, 2011
tomates bola y tomates saladet for the italian type - pacofinkler, Mar 30, 2011
yes, jitomates saladet and tomates bola... Regardless, it was a very difficult growing season. - mountaingirl123, Mar 30, 2011
I've seen lots more carts with several more kilos of tortillas and far fewer [ji]tomates than just a few weeks ago. - mountaingirl123, Mar 30, 2011
Tortillas come in an infinite variety don't they flautelitos y nopal y otras. - pacofinkler, Mar 30, 2011

Erm, what exactly did you click? In the "translator" (translation, on the menu above) you get results from several translators.
If you click the Google one - it has a "listen" icon - you get a pronunciation, and it seems fine to me. UNLESS you clicked English to Spanish... is that what you did? Hand over that bottle of wine right now, mister!

I am going to pass the wine Vikingo, but as a final note in Camarillo Ca. we dont say camarillo we say "cama ree yo" that "english pronunciation is ridiculous. - pacofinkler, Mar 30, 2011
