Thread: Pronunciation!?

  1. #31

    Default

    Lucrecia - "loo-cree-shee-uh"

    Yuffie - "yuh-fee" Although "u" is normally pronounced "oo" in Japanese, it can take the form of "uh" when preceeding certain sounds. I think this case would be "yuh-fee."

    Mako - "mah-ko" This is how it is pronounced in Japanese.

    Shera - This should probably be Sheila, not Shera. "r" and "l" are very ambiguous in Japanese, being that they come from the same sound. Because of this, "r" and "l" are often mixed up when translating words into English.

    Tifa - "tee-fuh" This is how it is pronounced in Japanese.

    This is an Old Norse word. It's actually supposed to be spelled Niflheim. (you also misspelled the misspelled version of it!) It is roughly pronounced "niffle-hayme."

    Lucrecia - I pronouced it Loo-cre-shi-a like, I would pronounce the cia in artificial
    Yuffie - I got yoo-fee because of the magic e at the end making the U=oo
    Mako - I say mac-o or mah-co
    Shera - I say share-a
    Tifa - I said Ti-fa as well

    off topic but if you lived in NZ i believe the pronunciations would be
    Luh-kr-uh-chuh-eh
    Yoo-fuh
    Meh-koe
    Shee-rii
    Tuh-feh

    edit: didnt realise this thread was necro'd...
