How do you pronounce 'Mario'?

[Bcat]

With a long A or a short A?
I.e
Mah-rio
May-rio

I'm curious

 

[Ghost Soda]

It's definitely Mah-rio. I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced May-rio. lel

 

[easpa]

Mah-rio, any other pronounciation doesn't really work with an Irish accent lol

 

[D i a]

Definitely mah-rio. I was in a store the other day though and this older woman pronounced it may-rio.
...It did not sound right.

 

[Zireael]

Don't think I've ever heard anyone say "May-rio", I've always said "Mah-rio". "Wah-rio" or "Woh-rio" though, that's another question lol.

"Wah-rio" or "Woh-rio" though, that's another question lol.

Wah.

*derails thread*

I think anyone who says "Mayrio" does it as a joke, similar to Luigi's many nicknames (Loogie, Weegee, plus some other ones that I forgot).

 

[Corrie]

Mah-rio. People can argue but he himself even says it like Mah-rio.

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

I've never heard someone say May-rio

 

[Mink777]

Jesse Ridgway pronounces it as mare-io. I pronounce it as mah-rio.

 

[s i r e n t i c]

I pronounce it as Mah-rio.
The only time I've ever heard it pronounced as May-rio is when someone is joking

 

[MayorJudyOfZootopia]

Mar-io

 

[mintellect]

Mar(as in Mars)-io

My mother pronounces it as Mah-rio and it annoys the hell out of me

 

[Loriii]

I say it like it's-a me Ma-riyo! lol nah it's more like Mar-yoh or yow.

 

[ali.di.magix]

My mum is the only person I know who pronounces it may-rio, and I cringe everytime she says it lmao. I'm glad everyone agrees on the pronunciation haha

Does she also do other mum stuff like going to www.google.com and typing in "You Tube"?

I say it the first way, Ma-ri-yo. I usually say people's names the way they do in real life (as much as possible with accents lol), I guess that carries over to video game characters!

 

[visibleghost]

long a but not in the english way lol, i don't say may-rio lmao
tbh the google translate voice in swedish is kinda accurate tho obviously i dont say it like a robot https://translate.google.com/#en/sv/Mario
