Mispronounced Words

See-cil is what most southerners say and it drives me nuts.

>>388138524
Did you ever stop to think that they, having been the ones who invented the language, would have a more correct pronounciation than you do?

>>388138637

Don't people in the game mention that they don't know the pronunciation since both pronunciations are used?

Asuka.

It sounds nice when I read it. "Ah-sue-ka".

Then you hear it and it's fucking "ASS-CAR". What the hell?

It's pronounced the way it's spelled, OP.

If your language can't accomodate that, maybe that's the problem

>>388138848
They say it as "Ayy-loy" in the game.

The correct modern and common ancient greek pronunciation is 'Af-to-ma-ta", meaning "moving by it's own will". However in the dialects that didn't use diphthongs it's pronounced "Ayy-to-ma-ta"

See-cil is the superior pronunciation since the alternative makes him sound like a polyp.

Nier is pronounced as "nee-yeah", or "nyah".

>>388139010

The sound and syllable for 'u' in JP is not meant to be stressed much at all. It's why any time the sound is prevalent it's written with two 'u's.

>>388136382
>ico

It triggers the fuck out of me when people pronounce it as eye-co. Yorda even says his name in the game, ffs.

>>388140890
I thought it was like "near"

No it's "nier"

Also, it's "Aw-TAH-ma-ta". It's a real word, Cletus.

This French guy in my guild says "disorientated" instead of disoriented. It is especially nice since he always says "disorientated" instead of stunned, mezzed, confused, asleep, or whatever LoC debuff he got.

I pronounce it aou-ta-mata. But I thought it's supposed to be pronounced like OP said because that's just how they wanted it.

>>388136076
Any with vowels in it because Americans can't pronounce them properly.

English orthography is not phonetic in the least due to language changes and borrowings, so English speakers nowadays are fucking awful at pronouncing things like how they're spelled.

Just watching people in Borat trying to pronounce his name was fucking hilarious

There, not difficult. The alternate "Kwiss Tiss" just sounds retarded when you realize people call her "Quisty" which only sounds natural as Keystee

Quistis, is French translated phonetically into Japanese, Kisutisu, and then back into English.

>Gyarados
This one's tricky. Supposedly the official English pronounciation is close to "Gary-dose", even though the Japanese name is the same, with the romanized kana spelling out gya-ra-do-su.
>Kyogre
Ky-ogre. Or Kai-ogre, if that makes it more clear.
>Groudon
Grou as in ground, combined with don. Grou-don.
>Rayquaza
This one's a little tricky as well, since there's two pronounciations for 'quasar', and this name's pronounciation happens to be based on the 'kwei-zar' one.
>Poochyena
Pooch and hyena, although combined like that, the hyena is now pronounced more like hee-ena. Pooch-ee-ena.

Silly anglos hehe

>>388150993
That's literally "Aiku" which comes out to "ike" because Japanese hate pronouncing their うs at the end of words

>>388138391
And the correct spelling is Caesar
