Welcome to Winter! The Daily Chit-Chat

While we're posting about how we have no idea how to pronounce things, how in hell do you say Kyurem?! Ki-u-rem?

I pronounce it as Q-Rem, not sure if it's right though. :/

 

[Snivy063]

Isn't Kii-you just the same with the pronouncation of Q? XD

 

[Mew~]

^ I'd suppose so. I've said the Kyu bit like when you say Kyuubi. I guess it does have a sort of Qu sound in it.

 

[blue]

Q and Ki-you sound similar but it's more emphasis on the Ki.. that's how I say it anyway.

 

[Snivy063]

I can hear more sound of Ki in Ki-you than in Q where you just said it as Kyu without forcing much of the sound. :p

 

[Esper]

It should be pronounced with the 'cu' from 'cute' or 'cure' and then the 'rem'. Two syllables only. All other pronunciations are wrong until someone objects.

 

[Yoshikkko]

Well, things like that are pretty obvious imo. Kyuurem and Zekrom and Reshiram and all that, but things like Escavalier are kind of .. undetermined? I mean is it pronounced French, or what?

 

[Oryx]

I pronounce it french just by default, lol. Because "chevalier" is a french word for french knights, and it looks like a knight. :3;

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

And any opportunity to speak in French should be seized upon and taken forthwith! Bien sur. C'est très vrai.

 

[Zelda]

I've always pronounced Kyurem as "cure 'em". Until the anime proves me wrong, is how I'll continue to say it haha. I love the name Escavalier too and I've been pronouncing it "Esca-veil-ee-ar". It just sounds so right to me!

 

[Oryx]

Mr. Dog, your accent is wrong on the "trés"!

Bulbapedia says it comes from escargot and chevalier but I don't see the escargot...he's not a snail!

 

[Esper]

I do believe that "très" is correct, but it's been a few years since I took French. Quel dommage.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Mon 'accent' est correcte, Toujours. Si vous ne me croyez pas, vérifiez par vous-même sur Google Translate ... dont je n'ai pas utilisé par écrit ma phrase précédente.

 

[Oryx]

Hm, maybe you're right. I don't remember ever writing it like that though...I was terrible at accents to begin with. xD

 

[Gabri]

Eww, French. I can't understand a thing. Always sucked at it in school.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Ugh, I sucked in my language class. I couldn't do anything right.

I can't remember what language I took, it's been so long...

 

[Esper]

Mon 'accent' est correcte, Toujours.

I see what you did there, Mr Dog. Well played.

 

[Oryx]

Well....remembering the name of the language is step 1 to doing well in the class. :x

 

[Gabri]

I took French classes from 7th to 9th grade, but always sucked at it. Took Spanish classes in the 10th and 11th grade, and actually went good due to its similarity to Portuguese (my mother language). And of course English. I'm good at it, but I don't master it either.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Well....remembering the name of the language is step 1 to doing well in the class. :x

Then you could say I sucked in the class. I couldn't do anything right. All I remember now are a few basic phrases ("Hello" and "Goodbye" in the language), and the numbers (from 1-10).
