Jimmy Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Sascha Dikiciyan Someone who is good at non-English names please help me pronounce this. My family is dying. Spoiler Okay not really but I'm giving a presentation tomorrow on Mick Gordon, with whom Sascha has worked (if you saw the D44M performance at the Game Awards, that's him on the synths). So I will probably have to say his name. And I kind of don't wanna look like a dickhead like that time I put the stress on the wrong syllable of "Aristophanes" back in high school. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Unregistered account Posted May 30, 2017 Roses bring sun, Violets bring rain How the devil do you pronounce Sonic Mayhem's real name ...Apologies, Jimmy. 0 Share this post Link to post
UglyStru Posted May 30, 2017 Sah-shuh Dick-is-see-yon? Emphasis wherever you like, I suppose. I don't really see it being pronounced any other way. 0 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted May 30, 2017 have you tried running the name through Google Translate? i don't know how accurate this pronounciation is, but i guess it's as good as any place to start. https://translate.google.com/#de/en/Sascha Dikiciyan 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted May 30, 2017 If it's pronounced "Germanly", then it's actually pretty simple. All the 'a' are pronounced like the 'a' in "father", all the 'i' are pronounced like the 'i' in "fish". Sah-shah dick-iss-iyann 2 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks, all - that all helps. This probably should've been a status update, huh. Oh, well. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted June 2, 2017 He's German, but is surname is definitely not German. Maybe Armenian? I am not sure if the c in Dikiciyan is pronounced like "ts" or like "ch". 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted June 2, 2017 Yeah, no way I'm using status updates for any sort of serious discussion. That stuff disappears from the page in like a day never to be seen again, who's even going to notice that? 0 Share this post Link to post
