It should be MaGAnium given how it's based one a meGAfauna. Zee and Zed are entirely based on which side of the border you're on, Americans say zee, Canadians say zed. Anyways are the pronunciations of the legendaries not that? I got the fact that it was EE-veltal off the bat, who the fuck pronounces it WHY-veltal?
>>
>>26957701
>are entirely based on which side of the border you're on, Americans say zee, Canadians say zed
On neither. Americans say zee, Brits say zed, Canadians say zed, Aussies - depends on a person, the entire rest of the world calls it Zet, Zeta or Zed.
>who the fuck pronounces it WHY-veltal?
No one, that's even more retarded than pronouncing it with "i"

You don't.

Barring double-yuu, that follows the same pronounciation as literally every other letter. Why would it be different for that one letter?

Shit, "W" should be "wee" or "wuh" or "uw" or something to match as well. Fuck the alphabet song, it did this.

That's better, but still not perfect. We don't say "beeb" or "jayj" or "kayk" or etc.

Maybe we should though. For the consonants, that highlights how each letter usually sounds at the beginnings and ends of words. Might be better for little kids, get some better pronounciation training in there.

Giratina (Gear-ruh-tee-nuh) should've been pronounced (Juh-rat-tin-uh) which sounds like "purachina," which is the Japanese pronunciation of the English/Latin "platina" and "platinum."
>>
>>26957910
Why do Anglos use "uh" to write simple "a"?

Giratina is literally the easiest Pokemon name to pronounce
It's literally Gi - Ra - Ti - Na

>>26957032
Yveltal's rightful pronounciation is evil-tal

Y = ee
Vel = vul or vayl
>>
>>26957996
Well, if it's Yveltal, then why not pronounce it with y and not i (what you're trying to spell with two "e"s)?
>>
>>26957948
There are so many sounds ascribed to vowels without accent marks to show how they're supposed to be pronounced in English. Kinda ridiculous, but the rules often involve pronouncing the vowels based on what consonants they follow or something. "Jear-rat-tee-nuh" makes more sense when broken down phonetically than "Juh-rat-tin-a" would, since in this case the "a" could be pronounced "ah," which sounds too foreign for most Anglos, 'speshully murcans.
>>
I just pronounce it Magnum.
I named mine FortyFour
>>
>>26957985
(Same anon here.)
Exactly.
>>
>>26957910
>Gear-ruh-tee-nuh

What is it with Anglos refusing to pronunce the A sound correctly?
>>
>>26958030
But both Americans and Brits pronounce Giratina literally as Gi-ra-ti-na anyway. Why write "uh" instead of "a", it's counterintuitive as fuck
>>
>>26957032
>ghoti
That isn't how English works, but it's no surprise that some people are too stupid to grasp the actual rules of the language and cling to memes instead.
>>
>>26957985
>not Tee

Well, Anglos have the dumb habit of pronouncing "i" as "eye", so you have to write "ee" when you want to express it's an international "i" like in Giratina

Not sure why gay ass English language do not apply this rule (well, even worse, they apply it to their very numerous French and Latin loadwords, so it seems very random for someone who doesn't know about words origon)
>>
>>26958110
French don't pronounce it "kiu" but "kuh" (because "qu" = k and "eu" = uh)

It's pronounced differently than "g", but not necessarily as an "j" sound like in "juice"

"Uh" is the sound that the "a" makes in this instance. Used to show in plain terms that it's something in phonetics called a "schwa." Words like "condition" and "ton" both contain schwas where the o's are pronounced "uh."

Do you pronounce xylophone ksylophone? If you do, that's dumb.

Everyone I know (including myself) pronounces it yee-vell-tall. It's based on norse mythos so I figure it's the same as Ysmir or Ysgramor.
