Pronounciations

Yeah its pretty out there to make that kind of statement, I agree.

The accents, for the most part in Spanish, break up the "phonetic" by giving the vowels each of their own syllable ie my last name García..which is pronounced "Gar-see-uh", but without the accent it would be "gar-seeyuh". Phonetics are fun!

I took two spanish classes


(I'm by no means fluent in either Japanese or Spanish.. I'm not even being humble.. lol)


Its really amazing how interlinked the Indo-European set is (I mean.. its called that because it is interlinked) but its still very cool, just going to a warning label in multiple languages and if your life depended on it you'd probably still get a general idea of what not to do lol.


My wife (Taiwanese - speaks Chinese Mandarin) is always amazed how when I have to I can pick up small meanings in other languages like German and I'm like look.. it really looks like this english word.. or if I tried to say it- it sounds like this and I know what that means. (Of course she can get away with understanding a lot of Japanese meanings from all the Kanji).


(My prouncations, which I take no academic responbility in.. lol - spur of the moment in my head)


Ya-sh-oat-o-la


Neel-efress-ne the ef at least to me is like Ifrit (E-Frit) efress


Your-ian-jer


Louisoix Leveilleur -> Louis (and I gave up :P) if I had to Lu-e-soh Le-vil-yur


Corguevais - Corg (like cork but with a g)-ue (statue)-vice ... I just wanted to call him Corvas lol

[mikoto_qc]

Haha nice tries though! This is the beauty of FFXIV naming schemes..Roegadyns seem to follow a Dutch pronunciation system, while Elezens follow French naming/sounds. Urianger seemed to be the exception tho >.>

Yeah it's been pointed out before, my pronunciation of that and paladin seems to be amusing to some people.

It think the correct one is Choke-A-Bow, but that just seems wierd to me

I also ask for "hulls" instead of heals in a party, it took awhile for the US players on FF11 to understand wth I was asking for

I go with Cho Ko Bo, like a screwed up hot coco (Ko Ko).


Cho like in choke, ko as in coexist, bo in bow the weapon not the movement (movement is like ba-ow... or something lol).

But I'd love to see what others have said because honestly I was always sure something better was out there lol (I more or less dont care about the accurate pronunciation as much as the one I think sounds the coolest XD)
