    Ava-tar vs. Av-a-ta

    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

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

    Why would Lindz call it avertar?

    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.
