I started thinking today about how Aegina's name is pronounced. Welll, that's it.

So here's the question, LCN. How do I pronounce "Aegina"?

"Ee-jee-na". Topic over.

I did a doubletake because I thought I was in the raidex.
Then I realized I was.

Isn't more easy to say "Ae-jeena",I mean, the pronunciation is almost different, this happens with Yggdra's name too

The island's name is generally pronounced /eʝina/, so, since we pronounce Yggdra based on the pronunciation of Yggdrasil, that's what I've been going with.

Err...... characters in the game say " I-gee-na" ( Long 'I' tough 'g') That's what I say...... up too you guys though.

It is I-GEE-NAH!
The katakana spells, Ai-Gi-Na which pronounced- I-GEE-NAH.
Also in the PSP voice acting, they pronounce it that way.

Okay, you're being misleading. Before i/e, g is generally pronounced /ʤ/ in English, as in "generous." Are you saying that? Because if you are then you're reading the katakana wrong. It would be a voiced k as in "get" or "gain." Also, considering the katakana has Yggdra's name as YU-GU-DO-RA, we can't go off of that for pronunciation.

I meant that the "g" is being pronounced like gh... like in "get" as you said. Sometimes the japanese have no way of pronouncing the real word so they have to like somehow say it with their own alphabet such as for example the name Christine, it would be KU-RI-SU-TI-N

Nah, they're crazy. If they always went by that then Yggdra would be "I-GU-DO-RA." And Ishiene sure wouldn't have a "nu" as the last syllable in her name.

That was my exact point. The Japanese pronunciations (when they're not Japanese names) are meaningless and should be ignored.

It is pronounced I-GU-DO-RA. The 2nd 'e' in Ishiene is silent no?

Yeah, but in katakana it's "YU-GU-DO-RA." And as for Ishiene, it still wouldn't be "nu." They'd use "n" if they weren't crazy.

I read the katakana and I thought it said Yu-ge-do-ra. Haha.

When they say Ishiene in japanese they say Ishieney.
In english they remove the ney part

No, they don't. :( I've played through YUPSP in Japanese twice, and I've heard no such thing. Not that it would make sense either way since her name is written イシーヌ (ishiinu).

I must have really bad ears then!
I am going to check it right now!

The kanji is "YU-GU-DO-RA". But is pronounced as I-GU-DO-RA.

I thought it was in katakana.

Uh, yeah. Oopsie?

Katakana is pronounced like it's read. Therefore, if the katakana read "yugudora", then it's pronounced "yugudora."

By the Japanese.

Yes. So stop telling me that the Japanese pronounce "yugudora" as "igudora"

I DON'T KNOW JAPANESE BUT I LIKE TO PRETEND I DO

I-GU-DO-RA.

You're wrong. See above.

You're deaf.

How so? Do you care to enlighten me as to why I'm apparently deaf?

Or are you too cowardly to back up your claims?

Or you're trying to argue about a language you don't actually know anything about.

The facts:
1. In Japanese, her name is both spelled and pronounced "yugudora" (oh here's a link too, you'll probably have to copy/paste it into your browser for it to work but she says her name near the end: http://www.sting.co.jp/yggdra/psp/voice/vic_yggd.mp3 )
2. In English, her name is spelled "Yggdra" and pronounced "igg-druh."
3. Rai pronounces Aegina "ee-jee-na."
4. I find you unpleasant to be around.

If you deny any of these points (except for 3, I didn't bother to check if I was remembering that one right) I will no longer consider you worth arguing with, as you're obviously incapable of listening (and I don't just mean with your ears) in such a case.

Say all you want. It will never matter.

My god, Rhia, we really DO have Feral on our hands again. :<

Okay, fine. Let's just leave it to our own beliefs.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? All you've shown us is that you can't listen to actual audio files and that you're just completely arrogant and refuse to admit that you're wrong. You're making yourself look disagreeable and unwanted. Call it beliefs, but all of the "facts" that you've given us, which we've been proving wrong left and right, are just making you look foolish.

I mean to stop arguing now. Fine. It's YU-GU-DO-RA. Let's leave it at that.

Do you also accept that the English pronunciation is "igg-druh"?

That's what it says in the PSP. I'm sorry then.

Do you also accept that the Japanese pronunciation of Ishiene is "ishiinu"?

Right.

Do you also accept that you're just accepting these because you're sick and tired of arguing with people who know better than you instead of you actually believing that what these people are saying is correct?

I guess? I'm agreeing because I'm sick of this, but also because I don't want to get on anyone's nerves anymore. I apologize everyone.

Then you're still wrong.

Alright. I agree w/ everything you said.

"Yugudora" is something like "Ygdora" to us, because the "u" is really quiet in Japanese, remember?

I mean, "kusanagi" is kind of weird for me to pronounce, because of the near-silent "u".

YUU AA FOORU
