It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY": Difference between revisions

Line 281:

** "Furiae" is "furry-eye", which is the actual Latin pronunciation, but most English-speakers are probably inclined to think "Fury, eh?".

** The name of the protagonist of [[Drakengard]] 2 (Nowe) is pronounced "No-Way".

* ''[[~~Nie R~~]]'' has Kainé, whose name is pronounced Kai-Nay, not Kain. There's a reason why there's an accent above the E.

* ''[[NieR]]'' has Kainé, whose name is pronounced Kai-Nay, not Kain. There's a reason why there's an accent above the E.

* In the ''[[Monkey Island]]'' series there's a running joke about the pronunciation of Guybrush Threepwood's name.

** Also, in ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'' the Marquis De Singe (and Joaquin D'Oro) pronounces his own name as "''deh SANJ''" (with the short "a" sound in "apple"), and the Voodoo Lady and Hemlock McGee pronounce the name as "''day SAHNJ''" (with the "a" pronunciation in "father"). Guybrush and Morgan LeFlay, on the other hand, pronounce De Singe's name poorly, coming out only as "''deh SIHNJ''", like the word "''SIHN-jee''" without the "ee", or like the English word "singe". It's possible this may have been them pulling a [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] with him, though. The correct pronunciation, incidentally, is how he says it himself, and it means "of Monkey" (not "of the Monkey", that would be "du Singe") in French.
