Yeah, it pronounces Reh-na-tah. It's a Latin name, so it's pronounces how you read it.Lucyth wrote:I was curious on Renata too. I always imagined it to be "Rhe-na-ta" but my friend says "Ren-et-ter" Which is right/closest?Rosmelie wrote:One that I'm kind of curious on is Renata. Is it supposed to just be like "Reh-nahh-ta" or is there something I'm missing there?
And I always say Leah as Lee-uh, and now that I've heard the lovely Lexicon ladies say Lay-uh, I'm curious how it's supposed to be.
I've always pronounced Leah "Lee-uh" I've never met anybody called Leah when you pronouce it as "Lay-uh." Just that paticular persons decision to have their name said like, that prehaps? I would imagine SM would want it pronounced "Lee-uh"

Re: Pronounciation Key
I am annoyed at my friend for the pronounciation of Renesmee.
She got me mixed up when she said ' Hey, that sounds like resumee'
Arghhh...
By the way , I say Nahuel.
Na-hue-ell

Re: Pronounciation Key
I say Es-may, but I've seen somewhere else it's like a cross between me and may, which is confusing...topazeyes2 wrote:That's my story also do you pronounce Esme like May or me cause I say Me but all my friends say may so which one is it?
How do you pronounce Volturi? I've always assumed it's Vol-choo-ree, but I've heard some people say Voltaree, with a 't' instead of a 'ch,' and it all sort of mashed together.

Re: Pronounciation Key
When they say it's a cross they kinda mean it makes an 'eh' sound,
i.e: "Canadian, eh"?
If they had written "Es-meh" in the pronunciation key, it could be misinterpreted as the sound of indifference,
i.e: Do you want to go to the mall?
"Meh, I don't have any plans"
As for Volturi, I pronounced it with a longish 'o', a 'chur' like 'churning butter', 'ee' at the end, and emphasis on the 'chur' sound.

Re: Pronounciation Key
Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm not that bad with Italian pronounciation cos I took it for a year at intermediatewho_needs_fangs? wrote: As for Volturi, I pronounced it with a longish 'o', a 'chur' like 'churning butter', 'ee' at the end, and emphasis on the 'chur' sound.
