    What is the proper pronunciation for "Sager"?

    Is it "Say Grrr" or "Say Ger" (like germ) or something else?

    We've already discussed this topic sometime last year. I think the conclusion was "Sayger" (later edit, I misread the initial post). But you should try to search it up, because I am not from US and I didn't pay much attention to it back then.

    Here is one topic but there are others on the same issue: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=30521

    How about just calling them CLEVO's since that's what they all really are.

    It's Say-jer, any other pronunciation is incorrect.

    I bought elsewhere because of this.

    i pronounce it say-jer

    i dont agree saying clevo makes it any easier. some people could say "clee - vo" and other could say "clay - vo" or "clev - o" !!! :D

    i say "clev - o", "lev" pronounced like the word "levitate", am I wrong?!

    hahaha these discussions happen because the english language lacks accents or some other way of telling people how to pronounce words the very first time they read it. This does not happen as much in other languages (i know it doesnt happen in french for sure, I would think spanish and german are also better)

    the english language also lacks firm universal conventions/guidelines on how vowels are pronounced (the word "tomato" is a good example), which makes things even more confusing

    It all has to do with regional dialects too. I can go to one part of France and have a hard time understand what they're saying, but it's clear to me at another. Same thing in USA. Go down south and even if you speak English, if you're from the Midwest, a southern drawl can throw you off big time.
