Thread: How do you pronounce 'Aaveraiskaaja'?

  1. #1

    Default How do you pronounce 'Aaveraiskaaja'?

    I started to wonder this when someone mentioned his name in my welcome thread. As a Finn, I know how to pronounce it, but I wonder how would you say?
    By the way, you'll be pretty close if you say 'Uh-weh-rye-skuh-ya' or something.
    Damnit.

    I say that we all just share our fondest Mik memories.

    One afternoon, in our first FFXI linkshell, Mik shared in graphic detail which area of his body he liked to wax. Waxed, not shaven.

    Mik was the best. He was the one who made me my LJ when you needed invite tokens. And oh man, remember Angry Daddy? I miss it! DADDY, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY NIPPLES?

    Since you've told us that's pretty close, I'll just go with that until I learn what's correct.

    Same as Resha, except replace kaah with kaw, making an å sound out of those two a's.

    Mik was my favorite bitch ever. We used to call eachother that.
