AC Pronuncing Challenge!

[Batossi]

Dierdre, I pronounce Deer-dra... seems fitting; and that's how my rl friend of the same name pronounces her's. ^^

How does everyone pronounce Soleil? I say Sol-i-el. Its probably wrong because I mix up the I with the E because it sounds better.

 

[Yuuto]

Wow, This is so interesting! That makes me wonder about my villager's names too. But mine are very different considering my game is Japanese. Right now, I'm best friends with a deer named "Takeru", that is "Bam" in English.（≧▽≦）

I say So-lay because I know a girl who named her child that, and says it that way. I can only imagine that she researched how to say it before picking the name ;u; so I trust her hahaha

And thanks you two for recording your attempts! It's fun hearing us stumble over words together!

Soleil is "So-lay" in French and means the Sun

I say it like Pe-ko but I really have no idea. It could be pe-ko-eh...

 

[gingerbread]

I tried it but it didn't work out on half of them lol xD I don't think I can say Beau properly c; Hippeux was pronounced like Hipp-ux and I couldn't be bothered to say most of the fossil's and catchable's names. (the overly complicated ones)

I'm not posting a video though :x Too embarrassing .-.

Also I like your tumblr c; It's cute ^^'

I pronounce Merengue as "muh-RANG" because of the dessert, meringue. I know that it's spelled to look like the dance, but honestly, I think they really were just using an e instead of an i as a cute spelling choice; as someone who has a name that is spelled different than normal, that was the conclusion I came to.

I pronounce Pekoe as "peh-ko-eh" because that's how it would be pronounced in Japanese; to be honest, though, I don't really know what language the name comes from, so I'm not sure if that's correct. Generally, whenever I see a foreign word, I always try to pronounce it the Japanese way, because that's really the only language I know anything about other than English.

I pronounce Deirdre as "deer-dra" because I actually knew a girl who had that name spelled that way, and that's how it was pronounced, haha.

And finally, I pronounce Hippeaux as "hippo" because... I honestly can't think of any other way to say it. XD

 

[Konekoneko]

I'm pretty sure Meringue is mer-en-gay.
Especially being a Spanish speaker.
As most of you guys know Meringue is a Spanish dance. But it seems a lot if you guys don't know that the dessert Meringue (pronounced marang in English ) IS pronounced mer-en-gay in Spanish. So she can still be named after the dessert.

 

[KarlaKGB]

Hippeaux is basically Hippo. the "-eaux" is 'oh' when said in French: http://www.howdoyousaythatword.com/word/eau-eaux/

Oh wow, I didn't know that! I guess it is pronounced that way, then.
