Indeed. It's "Kisutisu" in Japanese, not "Kuisutisu" or "Kyusutisu" or whatever it would've been. Quite different. Also the "qu = kw" thing is mostly English. Lots of Latin-based languages don't say it like that. Um, I think.

I'm still proud of the fact that I've been pronouncing Cecil's name correctly (Se:sil) cause See:sil sounds stupid and I would never name a child that unless I wanted them to be beaten every day of their life.

I never had an issue with Teedus pronunciation, if it sounds stupid, it's simple because he is stupid. :p

I think Mako was a bigger deal for me, and it's just another reason not to play the Compilation so I don't have to hear that awful pronunciation.

How IS it pronounced in the compilation? I'd rather swallow glass than experience any of that again.

This will give you the details.

Oh right. I have always pronounced it the supposedly "right" way because of "mako" sounding like a play on "mahou" meaning magic.

That makes a sh-load of sense!

tbf, the word library probably comes from the same root that libro came from.


Anyways, that is interesting, and I will forever be amused by Japanese pronunciation of words. :p
