Hmm...

See the poll.

I always pronounced Mako
May-ko
but I saw the DoC opening, and I heard
Mah-ko

what do you normally say?

may-ko, i heard that too, i laughed

I pronounce it May-Ko, I really don't care if it's wrong.

Mah-ko. But I've never had to say it.

mah-ko. Same as what mobiletype said, ive read it enough but never really had to say it:D

I really don't pronounce it, but if you held a gun to my head I would pronounce it Mah-ko.

It is a Japanese game, so I automatically assumed it was Mah-ko.

Yes, it's Mah-ko. It's even said aloud in DoC, isn't it?

魔光

"Ma" meaning magic, "kou" meaning light. Ma-ko.

mah-ko.

i'd imagine most americans would say may-ko and also some japanese would because they seem to make long sounds in words instead of short sounds.

E.G

i used to always pronounce yuffie, yuff-e instead of you-fie.

same with tifa.

Mah-ko because I cant read it may-ko only if I read it in English

I was thinking of the Japanese pronounciation.

So I pronounced it Mah-ko.

I usually think of the Finnish pronouncing, so I pronounce it Mah-koh myself.

Amen, brother. Except I kinda stick with the whole "May-ko", "Yuff-ee" and "Tee-fah" thing. It was my original pronounciation and I've grown to accept it regardless of which way it's actually pronounced.

Also, I'd like to point out, it's actually more of an opinion topic, not a "who is right" topic. If it's not opinion-based, someone would tell us the actual pronounciation instead of opening up this debate.

Okay, I guess that last paragraph was meaningless, but I just wanted to type, in case.
