I always pronounce it “See-zee” since the later models came out

 

[I Dont Care About You]

Friend of mine lives just outside Brno. He has a HUGE gun collection. Lots of AKs and other eastern block stuff.

I didn't find Brno to be that nice of a town.

17 years after the original post and still trying to decide how to say it

It's a wonder how people massacre 'Nanaimo' especially the Scots who all seem to have relatives there.

 

[Coyote Ugly]

Just pronounce it like Bruno Gerusi just like the guy on the tv show the Beachcombers!

 

[kamlooky]

BRRRNO

 

[Longstud]

As stated there’s no U!! Brrrr cold and NO

 

[Buck1950]

I checked the SAKO website and a tech at the factory speaks about Hammer-forged barrels, and he pronounces it 'sock-o', with a proper accent.

 

[StanP]

Was born in Czech Republic - it is BR-NO.

 

[Silverado]

Was born in Czech Republic - it is BR-NO.

How do you properly pronounce the full name of CZ? Cheska Zhbroyovka?

 

[FLHTCUI]

Was born in Czech Republic - it is BR-NO.

And I do not think the pronunciation has changed in 17 yrs...

 

[horseman2]

When pronounced Sayco . . . Seiko is a watch.
Sako is a Rifle.
Our over familiarization with english does no warrant me learning another language.
Oh Revisor, Mercy Buckets and Ne parlez vous le DingDong.

Whoozvarna

 

[dan belisle]

And Sako?
Sayko
Sawko
Zuko?

Your third choice comes closest. The "a" has an "aw" pronunciation. As for Brno, think brrr it's cold out. - dan

I remeber seeing an old add for brno rifles a long time ago from an old magazine or something and it even said on the advertisement for the rifles it's pronounced brr-no. And as far as sako goes its pronounced sock-o, I can't stand when people say bruno or sayko and just add vowels that aren't there
