Triumph Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 But Zero, odds are that Doc is getting the accent on Neckar and Bednar wrong too. I think it's only natural that most names become Anglified in the middle of broadcasting hockey, because accenting in a language that isn't English can ruin the flow of what's being said. The way people have been saying that Parise is said in Italy, Pa-REE-ze, doesn't sound to me like a natural English rhythm, and would sound forced and unnatural in the middle of a broadcast. In short, there's a reason why names get Anglified and I don't think it's because people are lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddDog Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I never was sure how Parise was pronounced, as I've heard the TSN announcers say it either way ("REE vs. "RAY" at the end). I also think his last name looks like it could be either Italian or French in origin, which would obviously influence the pronunciation. Or maybe he's just completely Anglicized it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsChick82 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Ok, I just asked Zach, he says it's "Pah-ree-zee". An alternate pronounciation is also "Pah-ree-say" which is probably french. Hope this clears it up for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewarkDevil5 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 The second is closer to the Italian pronunciation while the one he uses is a heavy Americanization of it. As for the origin, if its French then it would probably just be Pah-rees (I'm sure moustic could verify that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I am 100% Italian. I live in Italy.Parise should be pronounced: PA - REE - ZE Considering the name is french, you are way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) I am 100% Italian. I live in Italy.Parise should be pronounced: PA - REE - ZE Considering the name is french, you are way off. I think you are too sure of yourself here. A regular search on parise on google gave me a sh!tload of italian wabsites but no french ones. This might not be actual proof, but at least it shows that the name is used in Italy i think it is hillarious how you tell an Italian guy how wrong he is the way you do right here edit: i spell like a goat Edited April 7, 2004 by Swede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koufax75 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 If the noun is italian, there is no doubt about it. PA - REE - ZE (for the final E: it is like AI in SAID) Hope it is clear.

RowdyFan42 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) The name very well could be French. I don't know the Parise family tree, but J.P. Parise was born in Ontario, and the J.P. is short for Jean-Paul. (P.S. What the hell am I doing defending Jason? ) Edited April 7, 2004 by Rowdyfan42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewarkDevil5 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Roberto Luongo also has an Italian name and is French Canadian by birth. There are lots of Italians in Quebec I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice dog Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) parise is italian? I thought "paris" was some place in france. Edited April 8, 2004 by Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewarkDevil5 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Shred, I knew a kid named Darren Tedeschi. Tedeschi means German in Italian, does that mean he was German? Could be. Could be that his ancestors moved from Germany to Italy and were called Tedeschi. It could also mean that his ancestors were merchants who traveled to Germany a lot and brought back German wares. Who knows? Parise doesn't mean Paris in Italian, that would be Parigi. Parise also doesn't mean Paris in French. That would simply be Paris. So who knows which it came from? Hell, it could be Romanian for all I know. I checked it up on Ancestry.com and the only returns I found were Italian so I must assume it to be Italian.
