How do you pronounce Praetorium?

[Gemina]

Most players just after tomes doing this roulette, 'prae' they don't get this instance.

That outta clear it up for ya!

[MelodyCrystel]

As a German, I am familiar to the old way of writing ä as ae, so I pronounce it: Prä - to - ri - um
[prae - toh - reeh - oom]

As a medieval scholar, I took Latin (it was a requirement back in the old days when I did my Masters). I'm presuming I learned church Latin pronunciation as opposed to Classical (soft c as in a ch sound, not hard c, for example). But I was taught that 'praetorium' is pronounced 'PRY-tor-e-um' (emphasis on first syllable)

[Rasikko]

I pronounce the first part as PREY(basically the ei sound in Finnish), which is probably incorrect.

I say it the way Russell Crowe says praetorian in Gladiator, pruh-TORE-EE-um

Well... I mean... that's a native New Zealander who lived in Australia most of his life, trying to sound Roman. So there's that. Crikey and so on. Heh!

I always pronounced it as Pray-torium only because I used google translate one time, and english to english was pronounced as such. XD

[Kaiserdrache]

English

Prey - to (loud o, not o as like two, more like oh, but dont pronounce the y in it too long) - ree - uhm ( the uhm like boom but just without b) if you pronounce it like this, you should sound like the German version, or at least very similarly ^^

German

Prä (our umlaut for ae) - to- ri - um

So actually the way you pronounce Praetorium is: "AFK for 45 minutes"
