Its Trangeeah to me :) Never had a problem with someone not understanding it either - now that Rik has explained the right way it makes sense. Still a Trangeeeeeaaahh though :)

I`m from norway and pronounce it tran-gee-a, as it is written. Could be the swedes pronounce it in an other way, but until I hear a swede say it I call it tran-gee-a.

But in the end does it really matter as long as other people know what you are talking about:) .

I always thought it was trang e aa but one of the lads off the stove forum (from Norway) posted some sound files, so its tran ya but I still say trang e aa, old habits die hard etc;)

I am a real admirer of the Trangia setup, as others said, not the fastest stove, but 100% reliable, my pro Trangia posts got me a medal ;)

At the end of a camping day, what's the rush, put the kettle on your T, pitch your shelter of choice and have a brew
