SELL-ess

Did you know that Celes spelled backward with a t at the endmakes the word 'select'? I noticed that when I was reading my FFVI strat guide upside down (I was bored as usual.)

Serisu -> Seris-> Selis-> Seh Lees. Ta Da! So I guess I was right :cat:
(Hack off the "u", turn the r to an l, insert pronunciation! :P)

Or not. Who knows. But like I read in FF Conpendium's name origins, if you combine Celes and Tina's names, it makes "Celestina", which I thought was pretty interesting :choc2:

When I was little I said it Sell-Ease

But now, after knowing someone with the name Seles, I pronounce it Suh-less

At first, we said "SELL-eez", but now, I say "sel-ESS". I believe that's how it's said. I think it may be a variation on the european female name "Celeste" (pronounced "SELL-est")

I used to say se LESS, but I can read katakana since the last time I played the game and found out the Japanese is serisu. So, I say se LEASE.

I always say 'Sah-less' because the actuall name 'Celeste' is prounced like that except with the 't' sound at the end, and since the only difference between the two is the 'te' at the end of 'Celeste' I say 'Celes' as Sah-Less.

Nah, but since I'm from Sweden, I go with some typical Swedish pronounciation: "ze-les". :cool:

same same, I studied Nihongo and since katakana is the direct translation of the sound from english to japanese:

serisu = se "lease"

Say it like you would the beginning of the words celestial. Her name is to heaven, while Terra's is to earth.
That's a good analogy.

But yeah, I've always said it seh-LESS. I know it probably isn't the proper translation from Japanese, but then again, I'm not in Japan :P
