It's Tie-dus. :rolleyes2
NOW it's when katakana trasliterations come in some use, since they try to be strictly phonetic (with mostly creepy results).
It doesn't help that they change around the phoenetics for the English releases. Heck, Rikku's name was spelled Ryukku in Japanese, and it was clearly pronounced "REE-koo" in the game, which completely defies any and all rules of English. By all logic it SHOULD be pronounced "Rick-koo". But beyond that names do change from Japanese to English. Sabin, Amarant, Edward, Terra, Gareth, do any of these names sound familiar? They wouldn't to the Japanese. It's a frustrating affair trying to figure out what the names are actually supposed to be.
However, Tidus's name is properly pronounced "Tee-dus"
excuse me... where did you get the t sound...? im sorry but ur mistaken.. i know quite a bit of japanese and i know what it would be... *sigh*Originally Posted by Alice:
but if pronounced japanese its zee dah nay... :P
No, it's zee-tahn.
Feel free to look. (Disc 1, Track 31) It's zi-ta-n.
looks more like jitan to me.
ask Microsoft Sam how things are pronounced!
there's no I in team, but there is in pie, as in meat pie, and meat is an anogram of team
I spell Tai-dus.
The name's origin is in an Okinawan Japanese dialect and is pronounced Tee-dah in japan...It's meant to be a play on the okinawan word for sun...as Yuna is a play on the word for moon. Seifer is a play on the word cypher, meaning zero, nothing, empty.
Veni, veni, venias, Ne me mori facias, Gloriosa, Generosa (Come come oh, come, Don't let me die, Glorious, Noble).
Ive always pronounce it Tie-dus, even tho i know its more like Tee-dus. the latter just sounds wrong. and while were on the subject of other characters. i pronounce them like this: Tee-fa, Sigh-fur, Zi-dane, Sell-es, Cho-co-bo, Ree-koo, Yoo-fee.
nonononono,,, only half are right..Tidus is Tee-dus,,, Tifa is Tee-fa, Siefer is sigh-fer, Zidane is Zah-dan-nay, Celes is Sal-las, Chocobo is cho- ko-bow, Rikku is Ree-Kuu, Yuffie is Yoo-fee. And u can't say I'm wrong cuz I'm Japanese and I moved to the U.S. 4 years ago.
i wasnt saying that the way i pronounced them is right. just thats the way i pronounce them. i dont care if i pronounce them right or not. i pronounce them the way that sounds right to me, as a English speaking person

*growls* I did not degrade you in anyway, so don't sound like you have an attitude. The topic is pronouncation and I put how they are prononced. I'm soooo sorry, that I gave you the correct ways.
