How do you pronounce avatar?

I always say "av-a-ta" (with the stress on the a) but Lindz says it's "aver-tar" (which sounds like "abbatoir") =(

I wanna be right! =D

You both suck, edit the right "av-a-tar" onto the poll.

I say "AV-a-tar." But I guess that's closer to the second one.

Why would Lindz call it avertar?

Mikztsu
03-21-2004, 06:53 PM
Because Lindz is a fish.

Yeah you guys are both wrong.

Xander

No, no, I think av-a-tar is what I mean but I'm just writing the pronounciation wrong. Will someone with a mic please post a sound file saying it and I can see if it's my way or not ^_^

How the f are you sposed to pronounce av-a-tar? Av pause atar?

I say it a-va-tar. Sheesh. If I'm thinking Finnish, in English I'd guess it'd go.. A-va-tá, sans r.

I'd say the second is closer to correct, since the stress is on the first and last syllables, not the middle.

Lindy
03-21-2004, 07:12 PM
OI! I DO NOT say it Aver-tar.

I say A-vah-tarr.

You misheard me.

Here Xander.

Xander
03-21-2004, 07:13 PM
Noo, that's what I mean.

Okay *changes poll*

It's A-vah-tar or Av-a-tar!

Edit- And RSL said it Lindz's way. =(

Now someone say it the other way =D

Lindy

RSL is correct, except for the fact that it sounds like a text to speech voice.

Av-a-tar.

Xander

Okei, I fixed the poll to be somewhat right *stops being a cheat*, and I think Lindz is winning, it obviously seems to be generally said a-vah-tar but that still reminds me of killing cows, so my way's better =(

Lindy

Avatars kill cows, in the human embodiment of a god kinda of avatar sense.
