Okay, I've always wondered this. How do you correctly pronounce Adorama, the big NY camera store many of us buy stuff from?

Is it:

Add oh ram uh?

or Add oh rah muh

or Ah doe rah muh

or what?

:)

I believe they pronounce it: Add or rah ma (even though there is only one 'r'). Listen again to the link Sparky posted.

Call them on the phone and see how the clerk that answers the phone pronounces it. :D I would think they would know. Ha!!

I pronounce it this way. BTW Add-oh rah muh is not getting my money any longer, but that's a different story.

I don't think I could ever pronounce Nikon as Nick-on like they do in the UK, it's been Ny-kon to me since I was an 8 year-old photographer with my little Brownie camera. :)

That's exactly how all the Japanese I've spoken to in Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera, as well as those on the street, have pronounced it. Japanese is easy to pronounce; there is only one way to pronounce each syllable! :)

It's the same way we pronounce it in our language.
