How do you pronounce Vista?

Some people pronounce it 'Veesta' and some pronounce it 'Vister'. And some pronounce it in their own special way. How about you?

 

You people that pronounce it Veesta are weird.

Vista all the way, I don't see how anyone could think it was pronounced differently.

Vista usually, but I sometimes call it veesta

 

Just remember Terminator 2 and that "Hasta la vista, baby".
And that's how it's pronounced.

In english it would be something like veestah.
In spanish it's just vista.

 

Ahaha..ha?

And it's vista, people who say it veesta get on my nerves.

 

what a weird question i swear down its vister but like americans probably pronounce differently cos there special

 

Vicester.

Any other way is like calling Paris 'Paree'.

Where are you getting 'Vister' from?

I can understand 'Vistuh' and 'Veesta', but not much else.

Personally, it's 'Vistuh'.

 

Ermm Vis'ta, where are people getting the eee sound from or the r at the end?

It's not some new fangled made up techno word, it comes from the Italian, meaning 'view'

 

I think 'vister' in the poll was just to illustrate the sound the i makes.

I say vi-stuh (No long e sounds to be found). A friend of mine says veesta, I can't fathom how he started saying that though. Vista just sounds right. (Though thats probobly more of a psychological thing because thats the way I say it)

 

Horse's Mouth.

 

I say Vista... but sometimes to mock it I go "OMG, teh Veester is leet" in spoken word...

 

That's how I say it. My roommate says it "veesta", but then again he's foreign.

Anyone who puts an 'r' sound at the end just has some sort of REALLY weird/annoying accent. Ick.

I'll think I'll try out Windows X for a while and see if it catches on. Although it's a pretty sad attempt if they were trying for an OS X clone. I'm trying to remember just how many versions of Windows there were... this might just *be* ten

 

it's vister for me, but thats because my mum brought me up to speak the Queen's English.

 

Vista rhymes with fist-a

 

Vis-duh sometimes veesta, because when I see the word what comes to mind is the Visa credit card.

 

Vistuh

 

'vis-t&

 

It actually comes from the English word meaning 'View' - which originally came the Italian word 'vedere' meaning to see.

I guess I'm not disagreeing with you; just emphasising the fact that it's been a word in common use in English for hundreds of years, since long before the white settlers reached what is now called Redmond.
