About Merengue

[Knopekin]

Right, so sorry if this has already been discussed. But Merengue. She's made of meringue. As in the pudding. Pronounced muh-rang. But her name is merengue. As in the dance. Pronounced mer-ren-gay.

How do you say her name? Did the translators just spell her name wrong? Is it a pun I'm just not getting? I need answers, please!

She is a strawberry shortcake rhino, That is facts, she has nothing to do with the dance in my opinion.

I'm not too sure why her name is spelt like that though. I looked up what Mere means and this is what i think they were hinting at maybe?


late Middle English (in the senses ?pure? and ?sheer, downright?): from Latin merus ?undiluted.?


Which sounds right she is of the normal personality so she is pure and downright which just means straight forward, to the point.

Mer-rang

I pronounce it mer-rang. I just thought that's how it's pronounced, seeing as she's made of strawberry shortcake. I guess it's just an error in translation, sort of like how normal Hazel became Sally, Sally became Cally, and uchi Hazel is new.

[Blythetastic]

I thought it was mer-rang.

Interesting thread! I didn't know it was a dance with a difference pronunciation, to be honest.

 

[santoyo.bay]

[Overseer]

She'll respond to megaphone when you pronounce it "Mer-rang", so I pronounce it that way.
