Translation by Datsun. How to say it correctly: confusion with the Datsun name

Datsun he up or Datsun on do in the sedan body became the first car of the revived budget brand Nissan in Russia. The car is assembled at AvtoVAZ. And our domestic Lada Granta sedan was used as a platform. An affordable price and better assembly brought Datsun on do, at the beginning of 2015, to the top 10 best-selling passenger cars in the country. In January-March, 8,061 units were sold, although the cheaper Lada Granta showed a result of more than 30 thousand cars sold. Sales of the Datsun sedan began at the end of last year, 2014. And at the beginning of 2015, the Datsun Mi Do hatchback was released; it was created on the platform of the domestic Lada Kalina. Actually, this unification of the technical part allowed the Japanese to save a huge amount of money on developing their own platform. They only improved the technical characteristics of the main components and assemblies of the Grant/Kalina. We tuned the engine, gearbox, suspension differently, and of course installed our own sound insulation. It is noise insulation that is a headache for domestic cars assembled at VAZ.

The appearance of Datsun on do has been seriously redesigned; now it is not a redesigned Granta, but a budget Japanese car with its own unique corporate style. The front exterior received a signature radiator grille, which will now appear on all Datsuns. And besides Russia, they are assembled in India (albeit on a different platform) and are planned to be sold in all developing countries.

Expressive bumpers, large optics, hood and trunk lid are also original. But on the side of the Datsun it can be identified as Grant by the doors, although the Japanese installed their own handles. Datsun is welded and painted using its own technology, so you can rest assured about the car body. Below are photos of the new budget Datsun sedan from the Japanese, which is being produced from the AvtoVAZ assembly line.

How to say it correctly: confusion with the Datsun name

However, the Japanese language itself is the last thing we will need to determine the correct pronunciation. And the whole point, as usual, is in the history of the company itself. This story began in 1911, when it was founded in Japan, which introduced its first car in 1914. They called it DAT-Go, which literally means “DAT car” in Japanese. DAT is an abbreviation made up of the first letters of the names of the company’s co-founders (Den Kenjiro, Aoyama Rokuro, Takeuchi Meitaro).

In addition, the word dat (well, more precisely datto) means “hare” in Japanese - it turned out to be an elegant move, symbolizing that DAT-Go was agile and nimble, “like a hare.” And then marketers got the hang of it and said that DAT symbolizes the three main advantages of the company’s cars (typically in English): durable (reliable), attractive (attractive) and trustworthy (trustworthy).

This is how the first part of the name appeared. But with the second part everything is much more interesting, and difficulties arise precisely with it. Before turning into the familiar Datsun, the company went through a bunch of transformations, mergers, reorganizations and name changes, going through a rather complicated path in its development. The main thing we need to understand is that in 1931, after another takeover, the company (at that time it was already called DAT Jidosha Seizo Co) decides to launch a family of cars called Datson. The Japanese again decided to base the name on the English language, so it literally meant “son of DAT.” However, at the last moment, marketers realized that English is cool, but such a name would be perceived negatively by a native Japanese speaker. And all because in Japanese son means “damage” - with such a name the company’s karma would clearly be in jeopardy.

Datsun 14. One of the first models of the Datsun brand.

After thinking a little, the company decided to replace one letter, at the same time coming up with a beautiful rationale for advertising. So Datson turned into Datsun - and it sounds “safer”, and in a roundabout way reminds of the country of origin. After all, sun means “sun” in English, and this is a reference to the “Land of the Rising Sun,” and the sun is depicted on the Japanese flag.

In a word, we got out of it. So, it would be logical to assume that Datsun is pronounced “Datsan” - after all, the English word sun is read as “san”. But not everything is so simple! “We consider the only correct and official version of “Datsun”, with an emphasis on “u”, because this is closest to the original Japanese pronunciation,” says Maria Gazizova, who is responsible for promoting the Datsun brand on the Russian market.

The most surprising thing is that both native English speakers and Japanese pronounce this name very cunningly: something like “Datsn”, that is, the last vowel is difficult to hear and is a hybrid of “a”, “o” and “u”. The stress, accordingly, is transferred, but with this everything is already clear: even if “u” clearly sounded in English pronunciation, this would only be possible with the emphasis on the first syllable. According to practical English transcription, the letter u produces the sound "u" only in an unstressed position, with rare exceptions. But okay, stress, what about the last vowel? There seems to be some confusion brewing?

The Datsun 240Z is perhaps the most famous model of the brand. At one time, it set the heat in harsh multi-kilometer rally raids.

If I saw the word Datsun and knew that it was a Japanese transcription, I would be in favor of the “Datsun/Datsun” option,” admits TASS correspondent in Japan Alexey Zavrachaev. But there is one important point: in Japanese the name of the brand is written as ダットサン, which in Russian will sound like “Dattosan” - if you start from the spelling, then the last vowel will be exactly a, therefore, the correct pronunciation is “Datsan”. At the same time, the stress in the Japanese language is wave-like, that is, it is very difficult for a non-native speaker to determine a specific stressed syllable - this syllable “floats” in the speech of a native speaker.

However, taking into account the fact that the unambiguously correct option has not been established in the world tradition, it would not be shameful to follow the option of the official representation of the brand in Russia - you can see for yourself what a mess is going on: the Japanese took an English word and pronounced it in the English manner. English speakers took the Japanese name, taken from the English language, and began to pronounce it incomprehensibly... You won't get bored with these Asian brands!

Datsun is CORRECT: “Datsun”, but “Datsun” will also go WRONG: Well... “Datsun” definitely shouldn’t be said. Better yet, when pronouncing, start coughing fiercely so that it becomes unintelligible.

In previous issues: SsangYong: “SangYong” or “Sanyong”? Haval brand: “Haval” or “Haval”? Jaguar: “Jaguar” or “Jaguar”? Pronouncing the most difficult name in the world! Toyota pickup truck. “Hilux” or “Hilux”? What is the real name of the founder of Tesla? How did “Toyoda” turn into “Toyota”? Hyundai Tucson... “Tucson”? “Takson”? Huayra... How to pronounce this in polite society? What is correct - “Mazda” or “Matsuda”? What is correct - “Hyundai”, “Hyundai” or “Hyundai”? “Mercedes” or “Mercedes”?” Mitsubishi "or Mitsubishi?" Lamborghini or Lamborghini? Gallardo or Gallardo? Porsche or Porsche? Logan or Logan? -Double-yu?

Trunk Features

If previously a roof rack was a primitive metal frame or basket, now it has been transformed into a high-tech, multifunctional and modern device. Typically, the trunk consists of a pair of arches parallel to each other, as well as a whole set of stops and adapters that are required for fastening different types of luggage.

The trunk is equipped with various adapters.

With a modern trunk, you don’t have to worry about the safety of the paintwork on On-Do or Mi-Do, because the trunk adapters, although made of metal, are equipped with vinyl acetate linings, which retain elasticity in both cold and hot weather. The trunk components themselves are reliably protected from sunlight, rain and reagents thanks to the anodizing process.

Fixing the trunk with roof rails.

When placing cargo on the Datsun, it is necessary to take into account their weight and roof load capacity. In any case, it is not recommended to secure a car over 100 kg on top.

What engines are installed on Datsun on-Do and mi-Do

Both Datsun models are redesigned and modified versions of the domestic Lada Kalina and Grant. It is not surprising that the main efforts of the Japanese were concentrated on design, interior and build quality.

Therefore, the Datsun on-Do and Mi-Do engines remained the same as those of AvtoVAZ models. However, it is necessary to consider what exactly Japanese cars are equipped with, because the engine range has undergone some changes during sales.

In total, 3 power units produced by AvtoVAZ were installed under the hood:

It is worth noting that initially only the first 2 engines were installed on the car. But later the VAZ-11183-50 was removed from the equipment list, replacing it with the more powerful VAZ-21127.

The Russians did not like the “name” of the Datsun model

Russian residents reacted very doubtfully and ambiguously to the new “name” of the on-DO sedan. But despite this, Datsun, a well-known Japanese brand, does not intend to change this sedan name

Russian residents reacted very doubtfully and ambiguously to the new “name” of the on-DO sedan. But contrary to this, Datsun, a well-known Japanese brand, does not intend to change this name of the sedan.

This became known from an interview in AvtoSreda, given by the head of Datsun in Russia, Jerome Sego.

So Jerome Sego noted that the company does not plan to change this name of the sedan, as it is convinced that it reflects its multinational heritage. The head of Datsun in Russia emphasized that the concept of “DO” is very closely related to Japanese spiritual philosophy. This concept is translated as “path” and can be interpreted as a consistent and methodical principle of doing something. It was also emphasized that Datsun on-DO strives to show the desire of this brand to open unlimited access to full, unhindered movement for everyone.

Jerome Sego also clarified that very often in history one can name many examples in which a model name that was creative at the time of launch subsequently led to enormous success. One striking example of this is Datsun on-DO.

It was also said that the first sales of this model will appear in Russia this summer. But the second on-DO model will soon be released, the production of which will also be carried out by AVTOVAZ. A third Datsun is also planned to be launched within the next few years.

About the second Datsun model, Jerome Sego clarified that it will certainly contain the main design elements of this brand, the purpose of which is to convey to all customers its core values. It was also noted that the second model will be produced at AVTOVAZ, which is located in Tolyatti.

But it still remains a mystery what exactly the new models will be. According to one version, which is supported by spy photos on the Internet, the hatchback will become the second Datsun model.

Interestingly, the warranty for such models will be provided by Nissan Motor Corporation. The duration of such a warranty will be either 3 years or 100 thousand kilometers.

The interior is slightly different from Lada cars. The metal of the body inside is covered with hard plastic, and practically no attention is paid to the comfort and convenience of rear seat passengers. For a person 180 centimeters tall, traveling in the second row of seats will be uncomfortable, since he will probably rest his knees on the back of the chair in front. There are also no cupholders or door pockets for rear passengers.

Despite the fact that the door windows cannot be lowered all the way, no rattling in the seal is heard from them when driving. The glass control panel is secured with the correct tension.

The knobs for adjusting the climate control rotate well, and even a fragile girl can remove the headrests from the guides. The center console has a rather solid appearance, the radio looks strict, and chrome parts are used in the dashboard decoration.

The driving position began to differ from the one in Samara. Compared to the driver's seat of the "nine", the seats of the Japanese car have become significantly higher and wider.

The sensations from the seats when you first get acquainted with the car are quite contradictory. The seat seems to be too hard, but a trip of several hours does not cause back fatigue. This effect is achieved by using other seat fillings.

The chair moves freely, as it moves on the slide without jamming. Using a special washer, you can adjust the angle of the backrest, but the height of the chair cannot be adjusted.

The gas pedal is located quite close to the dashboard, which is why the driver's boots will constantly rub against the plastic.
