Title: How do you pronounce this game? Post by: Cirdain on February 06, 2010, 11:02:26 pm You help is much appreciated
I've been pronouncing it Ma-shin-air-(hard)E-Um Title: Re: How do you pronounce this game? Post by: divit on February 07, 2010, 12:26:27 am I've been saying Ma-kin-ar-ee-um, but I don't speak Czech.
I think there is a video interview somewhere where JD or Floez(x? I can't remember and the website is so far away...) say it. I haven't seen that either. Edit: Bah, it was x...

(probably sooner if you pay attetnion) ;D It's very much like what Cirdain thought it was (but smoother without any accented syllables) @divit that TV interview with our boys was mentioned here (http://forum.amanita-design.net/index.php?topic=525.msg2576#msg2576). ;D Title: Re: How do you pronounce this game?

Title: Re: How do you pronounce this game? Post by: divit on May 02, 2010, 12:54:31 pm the 'ch' is pronounced as in loch or Ernst Mach.
I'm not sure if english has any widespread word that uses that sound. Title: Re: How do you pronounce this game? Post by: jst65 on May 02, 2010, 07:45:56 pm I don't think it is an English word anyway. Or Czech.
Then I guess you can pronounce it the way you like it Title: Re: How do you pronounce this game?

(probably sooner if you pay attetnion) ;D It's very much like what Cirdain thought it was (but smoother without any accented syllables) @divit that TV interview with our boys was mentioned here (http://forum.amanita-design.net/index.php?topic=525.msg2576#msg2576). ;D Lol, that moment when you realize that you've been pronouncing a word wrong for years and never knew. |
