Bodhi Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 With "Pteri", ya need to remember the "p" is silent. For me, Elephante is just "elephant". Heehee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Here is how I would pronounce a few of the names: Aisha - eye-shaa Draik - draw-k Elephante - ella-fan-tay Eyrie - ear-eee Gelert - gell-ert Gnorbu - nor-boo Grarrl - graw-all Grundo - groon-dough Ixi - ick-see Kau - cow Lupe - loop Mynci - min-see Peophin - po-fin Tonu - toe-new Xweetok - ex-wee-talk For me, it's: Aisha - eye-sha Draik - drake Elephante - elephant Eyrie - ear-eee Gelert - gell-ert (hard "g" like in "glue") Gnorbu - nor-boo Grarrl - as it's seen. Grundo - grun-dough Ixi - ick-see Kau - cow (this is hard to put down) Lupe - loo-pay Mynci - min-see Peophin - pea-o-fin Tonu - tawn-oo Xweetok - zwee-talk Heehee!

jade4 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Here were my incorrect pronounciations: Mynci as "meen-ki" Blumaroo as "bluhm-ah-roo" (not bloom-ah-roo) Eyrie as "eye-ree" Kyrii as "k-eye-ree" Peophin as "pey-o-phin" Usul with the same "s" sound as "usual" Kadoatie as "Ka-doh-ah-tee" Oh, and until last year I always read "Esophagor" as "Esphagor". I don't know how I subconsciously skipped that "o". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainymittens Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm ashamed to say that for the longest time I completely missed the "a" in Blumaroo, so I just called them Blum-roos, haha. Also, Grarrl is pronounced "grahl"?? What the heck is that about? What happened to those poor, innocent "r"s?! I was always torn on how to say "Usul", but I guess that's settled now...

Pikky126 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Aisha, Elephante, Gelert, Grarrl, there are so many things I've been pronouncing wrong for so lont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmeraldDestiny2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I've always pronounced it, EYE-EE-SHA ... |: haha Same here. I don't think I could ever stop saying loop-ay for it. And YAY, other people say Aisha the way I do! :P Hrm, tuskaninny? I think I just do that the way it looks? Tusk- ah -ninny? :D I think I pronounce Tuskaninny the same way as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapjack9 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I used to pronounce pteri as per-tee, found out it's pronounced like pterodactyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsu Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Okay, just gonna jot down the ones that I've been saying soooo wrong apparently I've been pronouncing like follows; Aisha - {Asia} Blumaroo - {Bluhm-Ah-Roo} Elephante - {Ella-Fahnt-Eh} I still think my way is better, plain ol' elephant sounds boring. Meerca - {Mer-Suh} Mynci - {Men-See} Pteri - {Pee-Tree} This one blows my mind how it's really pronounced Usul - {You-Zul} As for the rest, I think I got them all right!

teeniem55 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You know, I never really even took the time to think about how the names are pronounced. I'll just keep pronouncing them the way I always have in my head. I doubt I'd really remember with the correct way was anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I purposely mispronounce Peophin. I too, started off pronouncing it incorrectly. Peh/pay O-fin. But when I saw it's "PROPER" pronunciation, Pee-o-fin. Well, I'm not a big fan of "potty humor", so I still prefer to pronounce it Peh-o-Fin. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerian Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Heh, I think it's funny to see how people would say it differently. Especially because we have different accents and different main laguages. I don't think I will ever talk about it to someone though, so I don't need to say the words. But they are pronounced in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just stumbled onto this old topic and had to bring it back... I was googling how to pronounce Pteri and found this, but then when I went to the OP's original link there was no pronunciation for Xweetok's and now I'm interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat_nightingale Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think it might be pronounced: Zwee-tock. Or at least that's how I'm pronouncing it. I think I pronounce Minci wrong, too. Min-see is how I say it but I think it might be Min-key? Like monkey?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
