Pronunciation Q&A

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I still wanna know how to pronounce suikoden

"sue weak o den?"

:embarrassed:

I always say "Soo-wee-ko-den" for Suikoden

Zebes I say "Zeb-ees" (Zeb as in Zebra (English version, not American "Zee-bra"), and the rest as in short for ecstacy's)

Ehrgeiz ~ "Err-geez" (Geez as in geezer)
Einhander ~ "Ine-hander" (Ine as in the latter part of the number nine)
Keio ~ "Kee-Oh" (Kee as in Keel, O as in the letter) ~ (Also heard this as "Kay-Oh")
Otogi ~ "Oh-tog-ee"
Ristar ~ "Rye-star"
Klonoa ~ "Clon-Oh-arr" ~ (Heard this said as "Colonia")
Gradius ~ "Grey-dee-us" ~ (Always said it this way without a second thought)
Gaiden ~ "Guy-den"
Raichu ~ "Rye-choo" ~ (Similar to gaiden that one)
Ocarina ~ "Ok-ah-ree-na" ~ (Also heard it as "Oh-car-ree-na"

Always said "Rye-oo" as well, opposed to "Ree-oo"

I remember my dad's fellow employee coming over once to play our new mame cabinet. First thing he asked was, "does this thing have "Gu-log-uh" on it?"

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread but I don't feel confident enough in the intelligence of my question to devote an entire new thread to it.

How exactly do you pronounce the "Do" in Mr. Do!?

For the past 20+ years I've pronounced it 'doo' as in doo-wop but my life was turned upside down this morning while playing it and listening to the notes the cherry's make. Should "Do" be pronounced like "Doh" as in do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do?

Ehrgeiz ~ "Err-geez" (Geez as in geezer)

Hmm, I always pronounce that 'air-gites' (given it's a German word and all).

I usually get the pronunciations down with little problem, though when I was younger, there where plenty of odd pronunciations:

Nintendo: Intend-oh
Pokémon: Polka-mon
Gran Turismo: Gran Too-rise-mow
Guile: Gooey-ll
Typlosion: [Gibberish]
Zebes: Zee-bus

By far the worst was:
Aero Gage: Audio Garage (Don't ask...)
