MY pronunciation poll (not about a DW member though)

Recommended Posts

"Chao".

Sorry, I'm not a Sonic fan, but it's just been on my mind for a while. These "anime" freaks at my school keep bringing their GBA's to school with Sonic Advance on them, and then they go into a Sonic mantra.

Depends on your accent I suppose, but proper English would be "Chay-o". If it's a Chinese name or something, they may it differently out that way. Or, you could be one of those annoying people who generally speaks proper English but occasionally pronounces things with a foreign accent if they were originally foreign words.

Japanese pronunciation: chya-o

'chya' is in "'Chya, right, and monkeys will fly outta my butt!"

And a hard 'O' sound.

yup, swedish accent all the way.

Odd, I'm not Swedish. Oh yeah, and it's German accent too (Germans actually say 'chao' when they say goodbye. It's spelled differently though)

And that means?

I actually like some of the platform Sonic games.

And do you really like Daikatana? Cause I'm thinking about liking it too. I'm tired of everyone hating on it.

Anyway, I voted "kay-o", because I once heard that the "Chao" is supposed to be the artificial non-existing singular form of "Chaos", and the pronunciation accordingly.

BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

I have fallen deeply in love with Daikatana, and I've only played the demo. It's been the first game since Hexen that I actually smiled whilst playing. I'm hunting out the full version, I'm going to try to grab a copy this weekend.

It's a damn shame that ION died, too.

And some of us call 'em "d6."

We, the freaks. But you know, that's not as bad as having a mantra/pose/chant everytime you're supposed to roll them. All my players do some stupid shit.

Are you suggesting that my question was stupid?

At least I didn't ask how to pronounce Chao.

At least I didn't answer it wrong. In fact I'm the only one who answered it right.

1)No, but Liam might have thought so
2)Uhhhh.....didn't I just say I wasn't a Sonic fan?
3)As Lüt said, it all depends on how you WANT to pronounce it...there's no right or wrong

4)Loosen up dude, you're becoming worse than me :)

Thanks for clearing that up Dan. Actually, that's the slang way of saying it. The proper way is arividirce, however it's spelled.
