How do you pronounce Vita?

[revenge6000]

This video contains your answer, sir.

 

[renegade7]

It's Latin, and a V in Latin is pronounced like a W. So Weeta would be the correct pronunciation.

 

[Sulgoth]

I say call it what you like, by English standards you're probably right either way. I personally say it as its spelled vi-ta.

 

[FateOrFatality]

It's Latin, and a V in Latin is pronounced like a W. So Weeta would be the correct pronunciation.

I was thinking about this. Does Sony not know anything about Latin at all?

 

[Arina Love]

google translate type Vita choose Italian then click listen. http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT#it|en|Vita

 

[Prince Regent]

like vista but without the t.

EDIT ehm I mean S

So the word vitality is pronounced weetality?

Vita= Vai-Ta, don't care how else they say, I'm going with that.

 

[Kittaw]

There's about only two ways pronounce this word as write, and it's all in the 'i'. Either a short 'i' sound (Vita, as in vitamin), or a long 'i' sound (Vighta). Depends on where you emphasise the 'i' sounds, which can vary depending on the region you live.
'Veeta' just sounds odd though, but it's neat to know the origination. The evolution of language is interesting!

Wait, what? Who the hell reads "Curriculum WITTE"?


"Veeta" is correct. With a V.

 

[SovietX]

I pronounce it as "VeeTah"

Which is weird because I say similar words (Like Vitamin) like "VieTahMin"

What have you done Sony?

 

[Cowabungaa]

I pronounce it as "VeeTah"

Surprised that "VeeTah" took so long to pop up in this thread, and yes I do too pronounce it like that.

Incidently, which episode of FPSRussia is that avatar of yours from? I tried to look for it, but couldn't find it myself.

 

[DefinitelyPsychotic]

I pronounce it as "VeeTah"

Which is weird because I say similar words (Like Vitamin) like "VieTahMin"

What have you done Sony?

Yeah, I say it VeeTah, and pronounce the word "vitamin" the same exact way.

 

[GamerKT]

It's Veeeeta. It was said 50 times during E3. It's official. End of discussion. Damn.

 

[Keava]

Like Latin word vitae which means life.

 

[pilf]

Sony say it's the Vee-ta, but I always accidentaly refer to it as V-i-ta.

 

[Aetera]

Due to years of studying Latin, in my head I will always pronounce it "wee-tah." Out loud, though, I'll say "vee-tah."

 

[Korolev]

I pronounce it Vee-ta, because I can't stand saying "Vit-a".

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Probably based on the Latin word for Life, so Vee - Tay would be the preferable way.

 

[Don Reba]

So yeah, Sony's new handheld.

Is it just like, Vita? As in Windows Vista without the "s," or Veeta? Or Vighta? Like in the beginning of vitamin?

Ahm. All those things are pronounced the same way. Should've used IPA [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English].

Spanish speakers will pronounce it "beeta".

 

[Continuity]

Well, it's a Latin word, so you pronounce it as you see it.

Except its not a Latin word, its a proper noun.
