Re: Pronounciation Key
I've never thought that arrow would be pronounced differently in British English, but then again, I never knew pasta was pronounced differently either until I met my friend from England. In American English, the "a" in arrow would be pronounced like the "ea" in heaven.dragon-girl wrote:Isn't that how you pronounce an arrow anyway, with the sound like in father? (Or is this just my British accent?)jenni_elyse wrote: The only name that I had a problem pronouncing was Aro. I always pronounce it like an arrow, but then I have to remember that it's Italian, so the "a" would be pronounced like the "a" in father.

Oh, I totally said it like that too. I heard the MuggleCast interview and I'm like who the niflheim is she talking about?Miss Vengeance wrote:Haha, you're definitely not the only one.
I kept pronouncing it See-oh-bon. Talk about embarrassing. It's such a misleading name!

Yeah, I just listened to the audio books. She pronounces Aro like arrow. And Esme and S-may.

Yeah, that's how I say Uley.Alphie wrote:I say You-lee for Uley.
And I say Nah-HUE-el for Nahuel. When in doubt, I go with the obvious.
However, I hope I'm not the only person this totally clueless out there. Siobahn is pronounced Sha-Vaun. Pel had a good laugh at me over this one, so please speak up if you didn't know that was how it was pronounced!
But for Nahuel, I always pronounce it like Nah-OUL (tight on the ou part.. and I say it like between an o and a u.) Haha, I think that's my french doing that...

Re: Pronounciation Key
Yeah the Irish language does have some pretty weird pronunciations.There's meant to be a line above the a in Siobhán like that but it only makes a difference if you understand the basics of Irish so...yeah.just a bit of useless information.lol. i thought siobhan was pronounce see-oh-bon too. who would though it had such a weird pronounciation? i feel so dumb now.

Re: Pronounciation Key
I'm still confused.
Is it pronounced as Lay-Push?
or La Push, as in la la la, as it is spelled?
thanks
i thought Siobahn was see-oh-bon too. now its Shiv-awn.
i thought Aro was like arrow when you're talking in english. when you're speaking in italian, i don't think they have the "arrow" sound, so they say ahro.
am i right?
