I have heard lots of guys, with lots of different ways of saying it. Anyone know for sure?

 

Bomb Bar Dee A (with a long A as in the word MATE)

 

I've always said it like bombarder like in harder.

 

I'm French Canadian, dbeck post is correct, it can also be prononced
Bom Bar Jay(drag out the Jay).

 

It depends on the local accent.

Up here in Maine it's usually pronounced "Bom-bah-deeah" (Bom-bar-deer, only the "ar"s are stretched out to become "ah"s due to the accent).
However, in proper French, I believe DBeck is correct. "Bom-bar-dee-AY".

 

In the video I got with the DS, it is pronounced like ranpap said --but I have never herd anyone else say it that way.

 

All three of you are right. Theirs the American, Canadian & French Canadian prononced. Call the main office in Canada and they prononce it the French Canadian way.

 

Hey everybody, time for a bubble burst. It's pronounced "Ski Doo" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I swear to god that's what it's been called on the trail many times. Even when I was giving the information to my insurance man, I said "Bombardier" Traxter and when I got my bill, Make and Model said "Ski Doo" Traxter. Another time I was telling someone I bought a Traxter made by Bombardier and they corrected me with Ski-Doo. Even my wife asked me why in the video do they pronouce it so fancy? Hub-Boy ? "Gee honey, it's a foreign film." Some dem old words die hard.

Anyway, Ride Safe

Ski-Doo is a very popular and well-known word...especially here in Quebec. When I went shopping for a snowmobile this past year I just called em' all Ski-Doo's, you know, like "Lets go Ski-Dooing". Lets just say the salesmen at Yamaha and Polaris said abruptly: "No sir...we do not sell Ski-Doo's here!" Just thought I would throw that in. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
