The Pronunciation Thread.

I say Shev


But I sometimes say shev-ray just because

 

[beemayor]

Today I have seen Drago and Beau. I have seen Pietro and Merengue ones in the past.

I don't know, I guess your first post seemed a little rude, was all.

If it did. I apologize.

I pronounce "Ch?vre" as "shev" with the funny little "re" at the end that the French do, and Jambette as "zhahm-beht".

 

[Panduhh]

Jambette as "zhahm-beht".

Now that is interesting. I could see that. I've never thought of her name as anything other than JAM-BET

Klaus is pronounced Klouss
Wolfgang is pronounced Volf-gahng
Zucker is pronounced Tsoo-kerr

Though I totally agree with you. Clowns are not scary

Well Jambette is a play on words from the French word "jambe" meaning leg (as in frog legs), and jambe is pronounced "zhamb"! (For those who don't know, zh is pronounced like a soft j) that's my reasoning behind it, anyways!

 

[DarkOnyx]

I call him Pe-ate-tro.

 

[Panduhh]

No. No goo. Lol Just MER-ANG

Good to know. I've always called her "Jam-bet-uh".

 

[FraudulentDimetrodon]

No "-goo" at the end. It's literally just "muh-rang." Period.

I butcher her name terribly as well. When I first saw her name, I thought, "muh-reng-gey." My excuse is that even though her name should be Meringue like the food, it's spelled improperly (Merengue), thus I can get away with odd pronunciations since it technically isn't a word.

Edit: Surprise, surprise. "Merengue" is actually a style of dance which, funnily enough, is pronounced "muh-reng-gey," which is exactly how I mispronounced her name even though her name should be Meringue/"muh-rang." So I still have justification.

Klaus is pronounced Klouss

TY for making me feel like I'm not the only one to do that to Zucker and Wolfgang.

Really. It makes me feel better. ; ;

I've been studying German.

German is my second language. c:

Also, it helps that Zucker is literally "Sugar". So it makes more sense that way.

 

[PaperCat]

I pronounce Pietro as "pee-eh-troh". Merengue I pronounce as "mer-ang" like Lemon meringue pie. I pronounce Chevre as "Sche-ve-rrah" though I have heard it as "chev" and "cher".

 

[Syndra]

erm, pardon the intrusion but i've always wanted to know how others pronounced the villager names with -oe?
e.g., moe & pekoe :B

- - - Post Merge - - -

and 'julian' as well! (i say joo-lyan, but i think it should be hoo-lyan or something along the lines of that :>)

I say Julian with a hard J sound like you

 

[PaperCat]

I pronounce Jambette as "jam-bet".

Moe as "Mow" like mow the lawn. (also The Three Stooges-Larry, Moe and Curly.)

Pekoe as "pee-ko". Like, a silent 'e'.

Julian I pronounce as Joo-lee-ehn"

 

[Chiffu]

I used to pronounce Chevre as shev-ree, but I looked it up and I think it's actually shev-err or shev (trill) hruh . With the re like a "guttural trill" as the site said.
