How do you pronounce Vista?

[Hammerhead]

Vee-sta (as in Asta la Vista, baby)
Vih-sta

I was talking to someone and said Windows Vee-sta and he corrected me and said that it was pronounced Vih-sta.
I thought the spansish pronunciation was Vee-sta.

I thought it was English for a distant view as well as being a spanish word.

Vista is also an English word. I pronounce as so. In English it is pronounced like "pit". Not like "bee".

Sh-eet is how I say it.......

J/K....MS owns me.

 

[narcotic]

V (as the letter) + staa

 

[oboeguy]

If you really want to get technical, there's no true "v" sound in Spanish (in the sense that "b" and "v" are not distinguished), so both choices are "wrong".

i say it vih-sta but I think the correct pronunciation is vee-sta

 

[Schwan]

vih-sta

"vih-sta." and thats because i live in a city called 'vista' and thats how everyone pronounces it around here. so force of habit if you will. whats also funny is that the local mascot for one of the high schools here in vista is the longhorns.
