How to say it - Huawei pronunciation

[pbrauer]

In case anyone was wondering, I have validated both with Huawei North America, and with a friend that speaks Han.

It is pronounced "Wa - way"

I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with them....it really is wa - way. ;-)

In manderin it is more like h-wau way, thats cantonese

Mandarin is the standard way to say it. I think they just gave up on getting people to pronounce properly

Heh heh ... I've been pronouncing it Hoo-a-way ... or Hoo-way ...

It was fun attempting to ask for it over the phone at Best Buy!

lol, You got me I didn't see that one coming. lol

btw, it kind of sounded like " woo-why " in the video when they were pushing one of there other new devices.

H'wah way

With wah rising in tone, as if saying it as you put your head up, ie second tone

It's an oxymoron as it translates to "magnificent service"

When I first received my Huawei Ascend from Cricket it took me a little bit to pronounce it correctly. I am taking a Mandarin college course and it still took me a minute. But according to my professor it is wah way.

I first heard how to pronounce it when I called them. WAH-way is how I heard it.
