How do you pronounce...

Post by 3mptylord on Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:48 pm

How do you pronounce "Gielinor"?

I always used to pronounce it guy-lee-nor (emphasis on the lee), but that doesn't sound very fluent. I then, accidentally, when I was thinking about it, said gay-li-nor and that sounds a bit smoother in my head lol (the most emphasis is on the nor, but otherwise it's quite a flat word). And... I've started saying it with the "li" sound instead of the "lee" sound. I experimented with it and got guy-li-ner, and loads of variations with gay/gay and ner/nor/nar. I was just curious how you pronounced it. Tongue

Hmm...never actually thought about how to pronounce. If I were to say it, I'd say gih-li-nor, probably. Or maybe gee-li-nor. Both are hard g's by the way.

Yeah, I think I'm saying them right lol. Mine are quite soft g's. I don't know what I prefer. I don't like the gee sound though. Tongue

Is that hard g or soft g, Dark? Like the letter G or gee (rhyming with bee)

Lol... that doesn't make sense. Both rhyme with bee. Urgh... gee, how does it sound... I can think G in Georgraphy or G in... urgh... lol, I'm failing xD

Lol - I can't think of how to describe it. Geee-ography, and take the guh sounds from gill/gear and stick ee on the end - it sorta sounds like something a Scot might say lol.

I like Gih-lih-nor... almost Gill-i-nor. I'm not ditching the guy/gay sound at the beginning. Smile

PS. I just thought lol. The other gee sound... you know when you melt butter and let it go hard again? That's called gee. It's pronounced with the soft G. It's used a lot in Indian cooking because it tastes nicer than oil and was first used because it was cheaper. Tongue

I'd pronounce it gee-LEE-nor or perhaps gih-LEE-nor? I'm not so sure now...
