| I say it like "calm bee" but I hear folks say "comb bee" also. And the word sekurit, does it mean "secure" "it"? Like if you close the window, you are securing the heat inside. I also find it quite peculiar that the Volkswagen company doesn't say "Folks" "Vagen" in their own commercials, does Chevrolet say it differently in other countries? |

depends on which country you're in.
But I think every country has some form of calm-bee |

Try thinking germanically or afrikaansically (???)
Kom as in commander, committee, commissaire and especially kommandant! but not co like that donkey Colin Powell who can't pronounce his own name properly ;)
Bi as in bumble bee, spelling bee, Beebee gun bee
Add I a bit of ze harsh guttural Teutonic cadence
Kombi
No a's, h's or l's.
K o m b i - pronounced as spelled |

Men At Work – Down Under Lyrics
"Traveling in a fried-out combie"
And in the pronunciation of the L in calm there is an east coast/west coast difference
On the east coast the L may be silent, but on the west coast, the L is there, but very quiet. Something like the R difference in New York and New Yawk.

Kombi, from German: Kombinationskraftwagen (combination motor vehicle), with side windows and removable rear seats, both a passenger and a cargo vehicle combined.
Best I can do. Hope this helps. |
