How do you pronounce Merengue?

[Titi]

To be honest I pronounce it like the dessert meringue... It just makes much more sense to me and the pronounciation isn't that different. XD

 

[mikanmilk]

I say meh-reng. Pretty sure she's named after a dessert and not a dance. Is the dessert pronounced meh-ren-gay in Spanish too?

No it is a french dessert. Pronounced murang.

 

[Jake]

i say it the english way

 

[bellafez]

Whilst I recognise that it's supposed to be pronounced murr-ang, I still always say in my head 'mair-en-gyew'

 

[Syndra]

i usually pronounce it as 'murr-ang', but i occasionally add more emphasis to the 'ng' by saying 'g(u)hh' (haha i'm not so sure myself)

 

[Stacie]

Mer-ang. I feel like it was supposed to be Meringue, like lemon meringue pie, and they accidentally used the wrong one. Anyway, she responds to that pronunciation with the megaphone.

I feel the same way about them mixing up meringue and merengue but I pronounce it Spanish since that's the word they ended up using. People don't call tortillas tortil-las, r-right?

I call her "Rocksteady".....I doubt ANYONE will get that reference....

So, do you call Rasher Bebop too?

 

[Doll]

I say Murr-rang.

 

[Waluigi]

Just say cake rhino.

 

[requiem]

i pronounce it the english way because it's how i've always said it u w u but it doesn't bother me if people say it the spanish way

 

[mikanmilk]

No it is a french dessert. Pronounced murang.

I know lol, I was just curious what the pronunciation of the dessert name is in Spanish.

 

[Mira]

Pronouncing it the Spanish way before knowing it's Spanish. Geez xD In case anyone's wondering how it sounds; just click here and press the listen button!

 

[estypest]

Like meringue but with an e.. Mer-eng..

 

[620]

I say murr-ang. Like lemon meringue pie. Mer-en-gay is such a mouthful for me, lololol.

 

[Noofle]

I speak Spanish and since it is a Spanish word it is " Me-ren-gey" for me ^^

I also say murr-ang, like the pie. I figured because she was dessert decorated, that was what it's supposed to be.

I too agree with this thought. ^^

 

[Stitched]

Merr-ang since that's how you say the dessert, I think.

Actually yes!

 

[crystalmilktea]

I say mur-ang as well, except when I'm randomly calling out her name while looking for her then I call her Merengoo LOL

 

[Ettienne]

I pronounce it the English way as in a lemon meringue pie. If she was dressed as a tropical dancer, then I would say merengue. Since she's a dessert, I pronounce it that way. I think the spelling was a translation flub.

 

[SolarInferno]

I pronounce it muh-rang like it's used when it's part of a dessert.
