how do you all say Quistis?

[*__*)]

I say it like Kwistis

a friend of mine says it like Keystis

what do you pronounce it as?

[TheAbominatrix]

Keystis. I believe that's the right one (I used to say Kwistis too), because it's French. Or so I read once. Plus Keystis sounds waaaay prettier.

[lionhearted]

I say "Kwistis" - its now so ingrained in me - I wont change it.

[Druggelz]

Kwistis sounds way better than keystis, that doesn't make any sense to me.....

the Qui is spoken as [kwi] in many languages (look at quiz for example)

[*__*)]

ah yes, French. Keystis is better sounding, it just comes out easily. I will say it like that from now on.

[TheAbominatrix]

Druggelz, what languages other than English pronounce it like that?

[Druggelz]

Dutch
also German
Italian,
And others to, I've heard it a lot

French is a special one though

Qui in French means Who? of What? (depending on how you use it in a sentence) and you pronounce it like the word key in English. So you are correct
But the word Quiz in French is pronounced the way English people do (It's a word they took over from English, I don't know the correct English term for that word)

[TheAbominatrix]

According to what I've looked up:

qu
is pronounced as k

Examples: quart /kar/, pique /peek/

(The above is French pronunciation)

Also, for everyone, some basics on Quistis' name. http://kalyka.net/quistis/name.html

Whow, nice looking up

in the last site it is actually explained how her name should be said.
Her name comes from Kisuteisu. So it should be logical to think her name should be pronounced like kistis

[Sefie1999AD]

I pronounce her name like "Kiss this!"

[*__*)]

kiss this?

(SPOILER)does she not pucker her lips at the camera at the ending?

[Jess]

Kwi-s-tis.

[Acid Raine]

I say Kwistis, even though I know it's wrong. Its kind of stuck in my head, so I cant get it out. Kind of like the Tie-dus Tee-dus issue.

[Twilight Edge]

Kwistis.It's implanted in brain for good.

[Ballistix Man]

Kwistis it sounds alot better.
