fluke Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 As a non-native English speaker I was just wondering. Is it more like 'pineapple' or 'gasoline'? Will it affect my riding when I know? Hell, yeah, for I can concentrate on riding and don't have to mull over it. :-) Thanks fluke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Eddie Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Pine (tree), shine, dine, dyne, stein, line, fine, mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 In English, it is pronounced like pineapple. In French, the feminin adjective is pronounced like gasoline and the masculin adjective is pronounced like train, without the "n" sound at the end, but probably you know this as Germany is next to France and Belgium.

Guest Randy S. Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Also of note: In english, the accent is on the Al, not the Pine. In French it is more on the "pin". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
