How do you prounounce Hippeux?

[beaver]

Hippeux is one of my favourite villagers (I think he's hilarious), but my sister and I are having a debate about how you pronounce his name.

Hip-pooh or Hippo?

It's a serious, but silly question.

Anyone have any other villagers whose names you pronounce differently?

 

[Shimmer]

I say Hippo.

 

[Greggy]

Hee-pooks, heh. I say it "hī-pooh".

 

[heartdrops]

I would say Hippo.

 

[MillySoSilly]

I'm pretty sure it's Hippo. Try calling him Hippo on the microphone and see what happens.

 

[Annika.]

I pronounce it like in french with the '-eux', not sure how I can demonstrate it in english. In my language it'd be just ?, in english like euh? oe? Kinda like Hippo but with a weird o I guess. xD

 

[Rabirin]

Hip-pooh omg, that's hilarious. I would imagine it's pronounced hyip-pooux
Hippeux was actually the first smug I ever had, and he grew on me quite a bit although I don't think i'd get him again if I had the chance.

 

[MTPockets]

I think its pronounced "hippo" (or hip-poe because I feel like the ending is supposed to be stressed) and meant to be a pun on his species name.

 

[inkling]

hippo i think

 

[mintellect]

I actually pronounce it like hip-youks, or hip-youx.

 

[Blueskyy]

I say hippo

 

[Belle of Pripyat]

"Hippo."

I know that -aux sounds like "oh." I'm guessing the same is true for -eux (at least in this case, since Hippeux is a hippo).

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

Hip-pooh

 

[Lumira]

it's french, so it's pronounced "hippo."

 

[ArtsyDreamer]

Hippo

 

[Dorian]

I believe he pronounces it, 'Joe', lol.

 

[Quill]

It's a French spelling that translates to the short O, so it's pronounced Hippo. If you're saying it any other way, you're wrong.

 

[Capeet]

I pronounce the -eux part like it's pronounced in French. If I had to describe the pronunciation for someone who doesn't speak French I'd say it's pronounced like Hipp? or Hippeuh where the vowel ? and the -euh sound sound much like -eux.

 

[Mothership]

I'd call him Hip-ewww, because I think he's ugly

 

[Bam]

I say hip-POE, with stress on the second syllable rather than the first.
