U-Nova as in U = You and Nova as in the actual word Nova, which is... pretty much the same as You-No-Va to me. XD; |
Oh I thought you were pronouncing the U as Ooohh instead of You.

Well we american's are weird like that with are U's being You's... |
I seem to switch between oo-no-va and you-no-va. My mind says it you-no-va, but more often than not it comes out oo-no-va. XD
|
I don't exactly pronounce it like either of those:
"You-no-va" I guess I'll vote the first option though. Not exactly right though. |
You-No-Va for me as well. |
"You-no-va", definitely. I just said it like that when I first saw it. XD
It seems the most American for some reason~ Still like the name Isshu better, though. :c |
Well the new trailers pronounce it You-nah-vuh but I hope it is actually pronounced You-no-vuh. I guess we'll find out for sure this weekend when the anime airs.
|
Anyone who doesn't pronounce the 'nova' part as 'no'-'vah' is wrong, anyway - seriously, that's just failing at English right there.
|
In my head, I pronounce it as 'oo-no-vah' xDD. I never even considered saying it like 'you-no-vah' strangely enough =/
|
You-No-Va for me... It sounds funny saying it differently XD
|
Yuu-noh-baa is what my friends pronounce it but I prefer U-no-va because it gives the mysterious vibe...
|
Oo-No-Vuh, Albeit, the correct pronunciation is probably Yoo-No-Vuh
The other way doesn't sound English, it sounds and follows similar pronunciation rules as Slavic languages (Russian, Bulgarian, etc.) The point of changing it from Isshu to Unova was to make it sound English. :3 |
For me, it's neither, though it's closer to the first one. You-no-va, anyone?
|
I've pronounced it as "You-No-Vah" ever since the first time I heard the region name. Of course pronouncing it like that all the time I am adjusted to saying it that way, and if it isn't pronounce as so, it'll be pretty weird for me. :( Also keep in mind it just might be that the narrator who pronounced Unova in a different way, their way of pronouncing it. Like I've mentioned somewhere around before, I guess we'll get the official confirmation on how to say it when the anime Black and White is released this week. 'Best Wishes' for "You-No-Vah!" D:

I always pronounce it You-Nova or You-No-Va, same thing really but that's how it sounds when you say it.
|
After seeing it for myself in the the first B&W episode that aired in the US, Unova is pronounced: "You-Nih-Va". I guess I can work with that, but I was so used to pronouncing the "Nih" as "No". u_u It's like saying the first part of Universe with an A at the end, "Univa".
|
You-nuh-va = gross
You-no-va = win. Still, after watching B&W I don't understand why they decided to pronounce it that way. Gonna bug me for a bit, but I'll get over it. |
Um, I always thought is was 'Uhn'-'o'-'vah'. But I guess I could change to say it another way; I've never really been happy with that pronounciation anyway. =/
'Univa'? That kinda sounds like part of 'universe' is you say it really fast. xD |
I always thought it was pronounced Uu-no-va. ;;
Quite a shick to hear it pronounced You-no-va, which kinda makes sense. |
on the commerical it says Uni-va
|
Well apparently it is now offical that it is "Una-va (You-na-va)" in the US. Gosh, I wanted to be pronounced "You-nova". I guess we cant always get what we want :[ and this proves it. Now I'm sad.
But Im still going to say "You-nova" just because it sounds cooler. I dont care if people give me that crazy look :D |
