Court Records :: Pronunciation on Names (SPOILERS!) : The Hydeout (GS4)

Oh yeah, forgot one. In my head, Valant = VAH-lahnt usually, or sometimes Vah-LANT. (As in a French pronounciation. Valant would roughly translate to something like "worth", am I right?)

I'm actually not a fluent speaker of French...

But as far as I know 'valant' isn't a French word (though it sounds like it should be). You're probably thinking of 'valeur' (value) or 'valoir' (to be worth...). You do bring up a good point, though. Even if it isn't a word in French it probably is a similar-meaning word in another language. Could be useful for his bio page on the main CR site.

(I've been in french immersion for about 8.5 years...plus the online translator translates it as "being worth" =P)

...and I'm curious. How do you guys pronounce the German words Klavier says? Like Herr and Fraulein.

Some people in AJ have pretty strange names. How do YOU pronounce them? KRIS-tahf GAY-vin KLAY-vee-ur EM-ah (It looks kinda like EE-mah...) Stage name: lah-mee-WAH (French way of saying it) Real name: thah-LAH-sah GRAM-ah-ry dah-RY-en MAH-chee toh-BAY VEE-rah MISH-um Meraktis: mur-AHK-tis Magnifi: MAG-nif-ee LeTouse: leh-TOOS

for the characters you listed... kris-TOF her japanese name is in katakana that says "ra-mi-ro-a", so I pronounce it lah-mee-ROY-ar. seems to make sense. DAH-ry-en is definitely MAH-kee, as suggested by his japanese name in katakana. his lastname in japanese is to-baa-yu, I have no idea how that should go in english.. i always thought was VER-ah... Magnifi - i seem to pronounce it "Magnify" (as in the verb).... but maybe i'm just weird LeTouse - leh-TOW-ss (as in car towing)

Hm... looking at this makes me feel like I'm pronouncing all of their names wrong. When in doubt, I automatically use French phonetics, so yeah... Kristoph Gavin - Krist-off Gahv-en Klavier - Klahv-ee-yay (My Canadian logic: Klavier = Clavier, which is French for keyboard) Ema - Ehm-uh (the same way you'd pronounce Emma) Olga Orly - Oll-guh Or-lee (her name is a reference to ORLY, but since it's Orly I pronounce it normally. Plus it fits better with her first name) Romein LeTouse - Rohm-mayn Luh-tooss (Romaine Lettuce, but I pronounce his last name the French way) Lamiroir - Lah Meer-rwar (in my head, at least. When I try to say it out loud it comes out as 'lammy wahr') Machi Tobaye - Mah-shee Toh-by-yay Daryan Crescend - Dahr-yan Kres-shend Valant Gramarye - Vah-lant Grah-mahr-yee or Grah-mahr-yay Vera Misham - Vee-ruh Mish-um And because I have time to waste, let's see how Microsoft Sam pronounces them: Kristoph Gavin - Kris-toff Gah-vune ('une' like the French word) Klavier - Klah-vaye-er (rhymes with 'fire') Ema - Ay-muh Olga Orly - All-guh Or-lee Romein LeTouse - Rom-in Lee-towse Lamiroir - Lah Meer-wahr Machi Tobaye - Mack-aye Toh-bay (um...) Daryan Crescend - Dayr-ee-yen Kreh-send Valant Gramarye - Vahl-int Grah-mahr-ee Vera Misham - Vee-ruh May-son (... wot?)

Lamiroir was from northern Europe, was she not? And if I recall correctly, some picture had something looking like Cyrillic letters, so I thought some French-like pronounciation was out, and I went with the simplest, just splitting up the written syllabels: La-mi-ro-ir Spartan-142 wrote: ...and I'm curious. How do you guys pronounce the German words Klavier says? Like Herr and Fraulein. In German, äu is is prnounced like "oy" I believe, so that's Froylin (With the R like in German, not like in English). Ja is simpel, "ya". The "ch" in Achtung is prnounced like J is in Spanish, if that helps. "tung" is something like "toong".

Post subject:	Re: Pronunciation on Names (SPOILERS!)
Well, I'm only up to 4-3, but I do think that Vera would be pronounced "VAIR-uh". Like "very", but with an "a" instead of a "y". As for Klavier, I always thought it'd be "KLAY-vee-ur". But apparently it's a German word or something, and I know jack about German pronunciation, so I'm probably wrong. I'm conflicted on Lamiroir, but I'd say "LAM-ih-roar" or "LAM-ee-roar".
