Title: Pronunciation..
Post by: R.a.B.B.i.T on June 09, 2004, 09:37 PM
A few people in DK and SBs and I are just wondering how Yoni is pronounced.  I didn't post this in the Trash-Can because I figured Yoni would probably see it here.

Is it "Yawn-ee", "Yann-ee", "Yann-eye", "Yawn-eye", or something else?  I'm very curious..well..not really..

[edit]
Just so it's math:
What's 2+i^(10^33)?
Eh...whatever...

I've always assumed it's Yo Knee, but I've also heard it said Yawn-ee.  ButI like Yo Knee

I've always pronounced it as yawn-ee (Like it matters though).

iago: hehe and while we're on the topic, I pronouce yours as i-go (even though I know it's not correct :p Silent A!).

"Yo Knee" is what I've always though as well, I don't see where the Ya* sound would come from.

I thought it was Yo-Knee as well.

Rabbit: iagos name IS pronounced yah-go. I pronounced it eye-a-go on TeamSpeak and he corrected me. Ever since then I've called him yago and people (Hitmen) are copying me.  >:(

I always pronounced it "Awww-dren." I probably did that wrong too making me 0 for 3. :(

Post by: j0k3r on June 16, 2004, 06:41 AM
I've always gone with "ay-drohn"

I'm not that good at phonetics. Someone who's heard me say Adron could probably write it down.

Id say it a bit like Add-On sounds. but with an r.

Add- ron

Post by: Adron on June 16, 2004, 04:04 PM
Hmm. The way I say it in Swedish isn't really like add-on, unless add-on doesn't sound the way I say it :P

I'm having trouble finding anything in English that sounds the same actually.

I pronounce it a-drone.

I take it your swedish. Is it a proper name Adron, or made up?

I believe it's a combination of his first and last name.

I haven't had a reason to pronounce Adron yet, so this should be fun, let me give it a try... I can't really tell you what I said without using phonetic characters, but it was along the lines of ade-r-on.

Find me on MSN/AIM, and use your mic to say it, I can type it out.
