Thread: Pronunciation

  1. #46

    Default Phonetic

    Here are a few names that i ponder over how to pronounce

    Quetzacotl = Kwetz-a-cottle

    Shiva= The Indians say She-vah, but i say Shy-va (makes more sense)

    Aeris = I say Air-is but my friends say Air-ith

    Auron= ? Dote no how i say it, i keep changing

    Edea = All of my friends and I say E-dee-a but one kid keeps saying
    E-da. What a fool, I mean why put another E if it wasn't used!! answer me that!!

    Steiner= I say Sty-ner but some say Stee-ner

    Also another little anecdote, in the original translation of FFV the main character was refered to as "Butz".....some time later when Square realized what it meant in english, they changed it.

    I think Ed-ayy-ah sounds really cool, emphasis on the ayy. But I always say Eee-dee-ah. (Emphasis on the Eee.)

    Laguna-Lagg-oooooo-na
    Quistis-Kwiss-tiss
    Rinoa-Ri-noah i for igloo
    Seifer-hmmm. I wondered if it was Sea-fer for a bit, but I usually say safer.
    Fujin- Foo-gin the drink
    Rajin Raaa-gin

    Aeris- Air-issss. Why do some peeps say Aerith?
    Tifa-Tea-fah I used to have arguments with a friend over how to say this. He said Tiff-ah.
    Yuffie- Yoo-fee
    Sephiroth-Seph-ir-oth

    Tidus-Tide-uss
    Auron- Awe-ron
    Wakka-Wack-a.

    Zidane-Zid-dane We used to argue about that, too. He said Zi-dan. Like the footballer.

    And I've always said Chock-o-bow!

    "Seifer" is a real name, and it's pronounced "sigh-fur". Just like "cypher"...
    "Sefier" is adding an extra vowel sound where there wasn't one before, so in reality your dad's pretty right

    But to be fair... it's a fictional name, and it's never spoken in the game, so it's hard to say that anyone's absolutely right or wrong.
