How do you pronounce Manakete?

It's *probably* strictly supposed to be pronounced manakeet, but thanks to the silly lack of limitations on our silly language I get to pick and choose what sounds best rather than what's logical!

This is true.

This is how i pronounce it. (sorry for the bad quality, my mic is old as hell.)

I might also pronounce it that way if English was not my first language, where -ete doesn't end in "tay."

That's how I say it but if it's supposed to be pronounced like parakeet I'm gonna flip something.

LOL!

I was commenting on how -ete is pronounced differently in other languages and if I had learned one of those first I would pronounce it different. I'm just stating my own habit of pronouncing non-dictionary words how they would be pronounced if they were actually English words.

Am I the only one who pronounces it as Ma-na-kee tee?

Don't worry. I do that to, like how I pronounce Grado (FE8) Gr-AY-doh.
