Randoman Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Are there any FE related mispronunciations that stuck with you or any fellow FE players you know of? Bolognon I always have a tendency to mentally call baloney (as in, the meat that's stuck in sandwiches). It'd be pretty awesome if IS one day made a joke tome (in the same vein as the Ladle and Log) that flung flaming baloney towards the enemy. Also, my younger siblings pronounced Eliwood as Eelwood (eel-wud) for whatever reason. I don't actually know the proper pronunciation of Eliwood (I personally pronounce it ehl-ee-wud), but I definitely know it's not eel-wud.

Loki Laufeyson Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I called Bolganone "Bolga-no-neh" for so long, its still hard to stop doing it. I still cant pronounce Renais correctly. Send help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatsuoki Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) I joke about using the baloney tome all the time. TBH I never bothered to try to pronounce it correctly. I mean it's just the baloney tome to me. To the point where baloney is associated with FE now. Edited December 28, 2015 by Hatsuoki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Kjelle's name. I know it is pronounced like 'shell' but I still say it like K-L. For some some reason I replaced the o's in Formortis with a's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I always pronouce Lycia as Lie-c-a, and I'm certain I mispronouce Renais and Deghehinsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLeafeon Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Wait, how is Renais even pronounced? O_o Ephraim. It's supposed to be E-FRAME. Yeah, I don't pronounce it like that. :( Also Shiida. Because what is sense in spelling. EDIT: Also, how is Bolganone pronounced, exactly?

Gradivus. Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) radiant dawn is dumb Oh yeah that voice acting trolled me too Begnion I always pronounced Bolganone Boll-ga-no-un but I don't know if it's right, although I think there's no confirmed pronunciation so it's not like I care really Edited December 28, 2015 by Gradivus.

Renais is pronounced like the beginning/bold part of Renaissance,I think.Or at least that's how I say it. I pronounce Bolganone like Bolganon and Fimbulveter as Flimbultver.Both of those are probably wrong especially Fimbulveter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatsuoki Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Oh yeah! Fimbulveter = film buster. I really never tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethakitty Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) panne- pain i actually pronounced most things in FE right. I never had trouble with bolganone and the only reason i know fimbulveter is because of a mystic arte in tales of symphonia 2 also i pronounce aegis E jiss because of a spell chant in tales of the abyss which i am 90% sure has aegis in it and i think E jiss is the right pronunciation Edited December 28, 2015 by Knight of Ratatosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowess Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I pronounce Kjelle like "K-jelly" by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoman Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Well, I suppose I'll throw in my personal pronunciations for words that people brought up in this thread. Renais: reh-nay Kjelle: kjel Fomortiis: foe-mor-tih-ihs Geoffrey: jee-off-ree Lycia: lih-see-uh Ephraim: eff-rai-ahm Shiida: shee-duh (seeing how Japan pronounced it that way in the anime and you can't really pronounce Sheeda any other way, which is the European version's spelling, that's what I stick with since it's shee-duh in the other two regions) Bolganone: bowl-gah-nown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamanoir Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Bolognon I always have a tendency to mentally call baloney (as in, the meat that's stuck in sandwiches). It'd be pretty awesome if IS one day made a joke tome (in the same vein as the Ladle and Log) that flung flaming baloney towards the enemy. Looks closer to Bolognese to me. Which would be great as well. I'm never sure if it's Ostia or Ositia. Guy, I'm not quite sure, but I probably called him guee at some point, because it's... evident. I pronounce Ephraim Eh-Frah/Fruh-Him. I call Zephiel Zeh-Fih-Ehl, which apparently isn't right... For, the pronounciation of "th", it depends... In FE7, i pronounced it "ss", for everyone, except matthew, which is "tt". Seth is still Set, and Thany is Tany. I pronounce Gilliam with a hard G like Garcia. Same with Gerik. I pronounce the K in Knoll (and I pronoune Kjelle, well.. Kjelle. It's really hard to say.) Caellach is either Kah(or Kuh? Same thing, basically)-Ellak, or Kah-ell(like Superman father, no?)-ash I pronounce the K in Knoll. Ismaire ends like, well "Albert" or "mousquetaire". Lyon... well, like the French town. For, the pronounciation of "th", it depends... In FE7, i pronounced it "ss", for everyone, except matthew, which is "tt". Seth is still Set, and Thany is Tany. I pronounce Gilliam with a hard G like Garcia. Same with Gerik. Duessell, I separe each letter. There's also some names I confuse with other : I also always calls Celica, Cecilia. I also already had some problem with Briggid that I call Brigitte, or Bridget. Guinevere/Guenievre is pretty obvious, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diaqxolite Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I prononce Cherche as Share-sh, or Sh-air-sh and Nowi as Now-ee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazd Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Tbh, it'd probably be easier to count the names that I do pronounce correctly. It's not like I talk with native English speakers irl often (and even less so about FE), so I can't really be assed to. Cherche is the worst, in whose case I usually just give up and go with "Kerkke". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyea Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Physic - I read it as Psychic for the longest time before I realized it wasn't. Honestly, I still read it as Psychic instead of Physic. There's probably a number of other things as well--like most territories/countries. I don't really try to pronounce crazy words when I'm simply reading them in my head; I just learn to recognize them. Anecdote time: I recently replayed FE7 to show my fiance the game/story/characters. That meant I sometimes read aloud as they were in another room or such. Anyway, I realized that I never really payed attention to how half the countries were pronounced and had simply come up with similar cool-sounding words in my head. In conclusion, my brain is quite lazy and must take a lot of shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really try to pronounce crazy words when I'm simply reading them in my head; I just learn to recognize them. I do this too. Don't care that it's not correct, it is too stuck in my brain now. I used to misremember the Gleipnir tome with a ph, as Glephnir. I have no idea how I came up with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
