Exalted: Pronounciation?
Is sidereal pronounced side-real, or is it closer to ethereal, like si-dee-re-al?

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Wiktionary has it as sai-deer-ial or si-deer-ial.

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
In fact, I'm pretty sure the Spanish word for outer space is "espacio sideral."

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Speaking of Exalted pronunciations, I actually found out I'd been pronouncing Anathema wrong all this time only a little while ago.
Dictionary.com says its pronounced "uh-nath-uh-muh" and I'd been pronouncing it "an-na-thee-mah".
Also, my group insists on pronouncing the 'c' in Autocthon like an 's'. I keep telling them that it's based on the word 'cthonic' which has a silent 'c', but they won't listen.Last edited by Xefas; 2010-07-10 at 10:34 AM.

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Speaking of which, anyone know how to pronounce Aasimar? I figure that it's one of the following:
- AZ-ee-mar
- AHZ-ee-mar
- ah-SEE-mar
- ah-see-MAR

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Generally, I just read words as if they were german or latin.
So...
AH-see-mar

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
See, this is the problem I always run into with pronunciation guides. I don't speak IPA, I speak english, using the bog standard english alphabet.

Ah, good old Woostsher.
Anyway. Whenever I hear someone pronounce "Acheron" as "Esheron", I get a desire to punch them.Resident Vancian Apologist

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Speaking of which, I've always been a bit confused on you pronounce most of the Yozi names. Is it mal-fee-is? A-door-jan? Swill-in? Hee-grah? Etc., etc.

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Not quite. "Sideral" is indeed an adjective used for space, with the same "pertaining to the stars" meaning as Sidereal, but "Outer Space" would be, appropiately, "espacio exterior". "Espacio sideral" is generally a more florid way of saying it, like "the sea of stars" might be in English, perhaps...

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
Well, the thing is, the "auto" in "automobile" is pronounced differently in greek, where both words come from. "A" is pronouced like the "u" in "duck", the "u" like in "glue".
So a-u-to-kthon.
Edit: And the word has a connection to primal creatures, at least: Wiktionary.
"Rock formation" isn't that bad either.Last edited by Eldan; 2010-07-10 at 05:23 PM.

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
I'm afraid that the "wooster" pronounciation is quite widespread, at least when we're talking about the sauce. When it's a place, it's closer to the actual spelling (but still slightly "off").

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
If I creep into your house in the dead of night and strangle you while you sleep, you probably messed up your grammar.
I'm always extremely careful to hedge myself against absolute statements.

Re: Exalted: Pronounciation?
I have never and will never be able to pronounce Worchestershire. I pronounce it as it looks, with the exception of the 'shire' sounding more like 'shur'. No amount of coaching has, thus far, been able to force me to change my pronunciation.
Also, I don't even like that stuff.
As for Aasimar, I say Ah-zee-mar.
