In Portuguese, mares is seas, however, the singular is just mar.

Correction, the brand is Italian, he was born in Croatia
He was born in Pola (Pula) in 1898, at the time it was not Croatia, but part of the Austro-Ungarian empire. His father was an officer in the Austro-Ungarian navy.
Pola became Italian after WW1 and ended to be Italian after WW2, when most Italians were deported (or killed).
Regarding to the original question: Mares is pronounced like "mare" (sea), adding a well audible final "s".

And the correct pronounciation?
 
And the correct pronounciation?
See the final link. It's mar (as in "march") and "res" where the r is a blur between an R and a hard D sound (as is typical in Italian, Spanish, et. al.) Two syllables, emphasis on the first.

Pretend it's Spanish for "seas" and you'll be fine.
 
Is it the brand or the pronunciation that is giving you NightMARES? This thread reminds me of one of my favourite language channels… LOL


That one will certainly give anyone nightmares about learning English … If I had seen these skits during my childhood learning days, I would have given up on learning English for sure… LOL… looking back it’s nothing but a miracle that I learnt the correct pronunciation for almost my entire working vocabulary on my own without any bloopers … Hahaha!
