5th Gen Unova Pronunciation: You-Na-va? or Un-No-Vah?

[Llennoccm8]

What do you Think it is?

On the new TV spots, they said You-No-Va.

But they can pronounce it wrong.

I noticed that on the recent trailer, I pronounce it differently to the narrator, (Un-No-Vah)

 

[Nateon]

I've always called it Un-o-va but i've been wrong before, i guess we'll find out in the english anime maybe?

 

[El Diabeetus]

I pronounce it Uno-vuh personally. You-no-vuh sounds wrong to me.

 

[Perriechu]

I pronounce it ; Is-Shu, because I use that name although I've have to break into Unova.

According to Alternative and one of his blogs Unova will be pronounced Yew-Ne-Vah.

I hope to god someone messed it up on the commercial .___. Cause' if thats true Idk what I'll do ;__;

 

[Venomoth Z]

Well l personally pronounce it You-No-Va, that way sounds correct to me.

 

[marcc5m]

Un-No-Va
Any other way just sounds weird IMO.

 

[TJgamer]

You-no-vah sounds good.

You-na-vu? That doesn't make sense. :cer_confused:

 

[Backup]

I've been pronouncing it "You-No-Vah". It sounds right that way but I'm not really sure if it's the right way...

Unova: "Uno-vah" ? Um... That doesn't sound right....

"Youn-oh-vah"? Still odd...

You-Nova.. is how it sounds and should sound.

 

[Virtual Headache]

You-no-vah sounds good.

That's exactly how I would pronounce it. I never thought of it to be pronounced a different way.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I pronounce it You-na-va myself so for me it's correct :)

 

[GlitchCity]

Is there really another way to say it? I heard people criticizing the english commercials because they pronnounced Unova wrong. But yes, I perfer You-No-Vah. I think the "Nova" part is what makes Unova epic.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

You-Nova.. is how it sounds and should sound.

I agree...I never pronounced it any other way...the other way people are pronouncing it sounds weird...

American people will find You sound better because of their English language
i'm from Europe and i pronounce it U-No-Va and find it best for me

 

[Dillon_68]

Neither one of the choices are how I pronounce it. You-No-Vah, as in U Nova.

 

[Boarbeque]

It is Latin so they pronounced it correctly. People are going to complain about it for about a month and then get over it like they did with the designs of the pokemon, and all other changes.

 

[Speed]

I pronounce it You-no-vah. I guess we can just wait until they say it on the English anime to see the correct pronunciation.

 

[Ho-Oh]

American people will find You sound better because of their English language
i'm from Europe and i pronounce it U-No-Va and find it best for me

That's what I was thinking, that people from diffferent languages will pronounce it differently because of their accent, and generally most of the public from that language would be accepting of that pronounciation because that's how they speak. Except in this case, where Americans seem to disagree with the pronouncation.

Either way, You-No-Va for me. As in U-Nova. I think the narrator pronounces it how most of us say it, just says it really quickly. :(

 

[PlatinumDude]

I've been pronouncing Unova as "You-No-Va" ever since it was first revealed.
