Just like how Deficio always pronounces item 3004 Mana-moo-nay as Mana-myoon

FaieFeb 22, 201614 votes

I absolutely also pronounce it Mana-myoon, I think that's correct!

macromiteFeb 22, 201619 votes

its based on a famous asian sword. saying manamune like mana-myoon is like calling excalibur ek-saa-laad-bahr

FaieFeb 22, 201617 votes

Oh I didn't know that! Thanks! I'm gonna pronounce it right then.

"Egg-salad-bar" lol. I don't know where that D came from.

No but seriously, by standard English pronunciation rules, it would be mana-myoon.

macromiteFeb 22, 20167 votes

it does not follow English conventions. its not English to begin with.

It's important to remember that not everyone knows (or cares) about romanticized Japanese weaponry and mythology like Masamune and Muramasa, I think is what he means pretty much.

So we might as well start pronouncing island is-land right? Standard English pronunciation rules after all.. ;)

Point being that word origin is actually extremely important in English because our language is an amalgamation of various other languages with different pronunciations :)

B1naryB0tFeb 23, 20162 votes

Yes, word of origin is extremely important, in standard English. But this is a video game. Simply put, the word isn't used often enough to warrant even caring about pronunciation.

But if you wanna care about it, I recommend that you don't, considering that it's completely common and understandable for people to pronounce words by rules of their native language.

Ex-Salad bar

Used to serve salad, but now it's for desserts and whatnot

Manamune and Muramana are named after the Japanese swordsmiths Masamune and Muramasa. It shouldn't follow English rules.

Now I want to know how you pronounce Freljord.

I love messing with people and saying frej - ord. Makes sense because its cold and that kind of sounds like frigid.

I pronounce it Mana-myoon, pretty sure thats how you say it O.O I could be wrong tho

WestonbirtFeb 22, 20165 votes

I've never been able to remember its name. I tend to call it Manamura or Mana-stick.

MaratsuneFeb 22, 20162 votes

Ugh. That pronunciation makes me want to cry inside.

I always thought it was mana-Moon.

AVL PrinceFeb 22, 20161 votes

It's actually manu-maan-nay, tbh.

FoggyPawsFeb 22, 20164 votes

But, it's pronounced mana-moo-nay. It's japanese themed, so that's why

It's "Ho-dor"

This led me to search Udyr up on Google. Turns out that Udyr is the Norwegian word for "beast". And it is in fact pronounced Oo-deer or in some pronunciations oo-dyeer

SvartfiskFeb 22, 20162 votes

I am Norwegian and I can confirm this, that is probably as close as you'll get without phonetic spelling.

What's the phonetic spelling?

SvartfiskFeb 22, 20161 votes

I am no master of the phonetic alphabet (I looked it up, and realized how little I know), but my best guess would be something as straightforward as "u:dyr"; I have found the phonetic alphabet's characters are very similar in pronunciation to their visually corresponding characters in Norwegian. As I said, no master, so this comment tastes best with a pinch of salt.

Quantum WeebFeb 22, 20162 votes

Maybe he should ask some Udyr caster to help him.

OrangesilkFeb 22, 20162 votes

There's only one solution to this predicament, and although it might seem extreme, it's for the best, for the very future of esports as a whole: We have to ban Udyr from the LCS.

SpreekFeb 22, 20161 votes

Funny cuz Jatt was famous for his udyr way back in the day.

MilfHuntUnitM1TFeb 22, 20161 votes

Looking at you criticizing pronunciations for a noun that doesn't even have any defined, let alone required, pronunciation is cringeworthy.

Death by KaynFeb 22, 20162 votes

Actually it does. Its the Norwegian word for monster. It's literal translation is "not animal"/"not beast"

Good point.

Death by KaynFeb 22, 20161 votes

Actually in the proper Norwegian pronunciation it'd pronounced more like o-dea
