If you can't pronounce Synl correctly, you're a moron.

I dunno, it could go either sign-ll or sin-ll. And that's (hopefully accurately) assuming your "L is silent" thing is a joke. tongue.gif

I don't think it is. It's supposed to be pronounced the same as sin.
Shiri2008-08-02 03:35:38
Which would be retarded, and make people who pronounced it "incorrectly" -not- morons. tongue.gif

THE L IS SILENT! pullhair.gif

Nimaet is pronounced pretty obviously, too. Nim is in "Serious nimmage, man!", -a as in "Ah, very well, my child," and -ate as in "Nomnom."

News to me, I always assumed we were pronouncing it Nigh-Mate.

It's pronounced 'Nub-eeh'. I assume you all know how to pronounce 'Princess'


I always wondered how to say that right

What about me?
Shiri2008-08-02 03:42:41
I was gonna go with "nimm-aet." Three syllables would make it more like nimm-ah-ett, not nimm-ah-aet.
Hazar2008-08-02 03:43:20
Yeah, I thought nih-mate. Whatev.

However you want. I can't hear you when I'm reading. I change it at random, so you can, too!

gey-luh-feery (rhymes with weary)
gah-luh-fa-ray
gey-luh-fa-ray
gah-luh-feery
ga-laugh-ah-ray

Fun game!


I thought it was "gah-luh-feer-ray"

I think my pronunciation is broken. blink.gif

Evette Mersalius

Eve-ett, I would think that obvious.. Though Mersalius.. Mer-sal-e-us
Elostian2008-08-02 09:00:38
Elostian is pronounced 'bob'.

You know how that works with foreign names and all.

It's always just been Elo to me >.>

That's funny because I've always pronounced it 'john' where the 'h' is silent.

I pronounce it Gala-fie-ray.

Also, I pronounce Maylea depending on my mood, because I never know whether it's May-lee or May-lee-uh.

I go with gala-fie-rie (gala-fie-ray for 2nd I guess.) And May-lee.
