Oo-No-Va is the way I've been pronouncing it thus far :)
|
Lol I just say U-no-va. :q
Yay for being lazy Finnish person. |
The name Unova likely comes from the Spanish "uno" and "nova". So it should be Oo-no-va with the stress on the second syllable.

I pronounce it You-No-Vah, for some reason.

It's weird, because I've never had to say it out loud I haven't thought about how I'd pronounce it. After watching the anime I'm going with you-no-vah though.
|
I just call it Isshu~ It's easier~~
|
U - No - Vah.
I can't think of it any other way really... |
I always pronounce it "You-No-Vah".
Mostly because there's a street where I live called Nova Vista so I'm used to the sound "No-vah". |

Even after the pronounciation was confirmed official by the anime, I still am going to call it U-no-va. I don't care if the other way is official, it just does not sound right to me. :x /rebel |
Oo-No-Va for me.
I say it with the second syllable stressed like Oo-Nova though, not like Oo-nuh-va |

I really dislike this name... the "ova" part jumps out at me every time. D: |
Un-No-Vah, thats how I say it~
|
You-no-va. Always have pronounced it that way, always will.
|
U-no-vah is how I've been saying it, never really thought about how it was actually pronounced until I saw this thread...

It's pronounced UN-NO-VAH. You-na-va sounds wrong. Un-no-vah sounds like Universe the other one doesn't.
|
Unum(one)+Novus(new)=Unova, Uno comes from Unum thus it's pronounced Oo-Nova.

For others, it may just depend on their accent. |
If you pronounce it based on its name origin (Latin, if I recall?), you would pronounce it "Oo-noh-vah", which is how I've been pronouncing it, being the language geek I am ^_^
|
Ever since the debut of Unova, I've been saying it as "You-NO-Vuh" all this time. But when I saw the first episode of B/W, it's been said "You-Nah-Vuh". So, it's been quite confusing to say which pronunciation is the correct one.

I remember the day it was revealed as Unova. U nited (states) ov (of) a(merica) and thought it was pretty clever. United begins with "You" so I pronounce it "You-No-Va". tl;dr You-No-Va seems correct to me. |

I hate the actual pronunciation, I really do. ;-; You-nih-va just defies the English language. |
Quote:
I've even just checked BW01 (I have it downloaded on my PC, shhhh), you can hear the "nuh" in the pronunciation when all the characters say it. I hear no "niv". |
I've been pronouncing it Yew-No-Vah for some reason. Every time I see it written out, that's just the way my head reads it. ._.
