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

[Zeph.]

I was under the impression that it was pronounced You-no-vah because there was an O in it. You know:

UnOva

Or have the basics of the english language just been ignored?

 

[cookie_lovr]

You-No-Vuh is correct. always will be

 

[GardevoirNess]

Not int he poll, I thought it was pronoounce You-No-Vah

 

[Buttetsu Batou]

Unova

You know Va? Makes sense right?

 

[ManhattanTheStarr]

I'm starting to get used to the You-Nuh-Va pronunciation of Unova. It almost sounds like United States of America all squeezed up. :B

 

[Don Daddio]

i pronounce it you-no-va....just sounds right to me

 

[Kevin]

Wow I always thought it was You-No-Va...
It sounds better in my opinion, so that's how I'll pronounce it.

 

[Adam.]

I pronounce it as You-No-Vah based on how I pronounce the acronym, USA. Although, now I'm getting used to pronouncing it to how it is said in TV adverts and the Anime.
On the other hand, everyone pronounces everything in their own way based on how they interpret the word themselves so I wouldn't go screaming at someone if they didn't say Unova properly...

You-No-vah is how I pronounce it. Un-No-Vah is just kinda weird, but it depends on preference. It's like that tomato tomata thing :)

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Lol it's Tomato, Tomatoe not Tomata xD
Anyways I still think that it's pronounced You-no-va like the commercial narrator says...

 

[soϲks]

I usually pronounce everything wrong, but I'm fairly confident that you-no-va is the way to go with this. It just feels more right than the other pronunciations.

 

[MrGriszell]

i usesd to say it isshu lol no but really i thought it was youuuuuunnnoooooova. but i guess the correct way of saying is alright

 

[lamby101]

You-no-vah doesn't sound right. I think it should be Un-no-va but to be honest I'm not too bothered, it won't affect my enjoyment of the game :)

 

[Andrew McKenzie]

I highly doubt something spelt as UNOVA would be pronounced as "un-oh-va"

"You-no-va" just seems right in my mind.

And usually words like these don't pronounce the "u" and "n" together unless it's words like: "unless" and "unforetunate".

"You-no-va" sounds better to me so I'll call it that.

 

[travisjb1990]

I pronounce it You-Na-Va. That is how they say it on the show and in commercials so that is how I pronounce it.

 

[MeerFall]

I always called it U-nov-ee-ah

so i have no idea :S

 

[Aimseed]

I've always thought it was you-no-va.

 

[Mujahid]

It's from UNited states OV America right ?..So it should we You-no-va.."U" should be pronounced as in "United"

 

[Binary]

I don't know. Un-No-Vah sounded right to me all this time.
Well I guess I'm going to start saying You-Nee-Vah or something. :/

 

[Bluerang1]

They actually say U-no-va in the Anime. They say it the same as most of us but we stretch out the "no" where as they say it quickly.

We say: U-know-va
Anime: U-no-va

See the difference? xD
