I don't know if this has come up already but with all these names I always wonder... how do you SAY that?

Seeing how it's manga-style (and that my mother-language is German, which has similar pronounciation of the letters) I always went for a japanese approach.
Like, I always say it like this:

Keidran : Key- (like hey) -drahn (like Khan)
Basitin : Buh-See-tin
Natani: Nuh-Tuh-Nee

Can't think of others that aren't painfully obvious... Euchre is like You-Kreh right?

How about you?
We can quarrel all day long how it's right! ^,,^
Well, until Tom sheds light on the matters, that is...
<.<

This has (to some extent; as there was no debate over the pronunciations of Basitin or Natani) been dealt with on the FAQ Board.

As for those, <shrug> I pronounce them as written. Being as I have a French last name which has been Americanized, I'm pretty used to simply applying English pronunciation rules whenever there's doubt.

Basitin : Ba-sit-in
Natani : Na-ta-ni
But maybe that's because Natani's name reminds me vaguely of my mother's (Talana); having a simple spelling but a pronunciation that, while easy, elegant, and seemingly obvious, most people will be incapable of figuring out.

Let's see, I'd trascribe my pronunciation of the names as

Keidran: KEEd-rin (i=open front unrounded vowel aproxomation)

Basitin: BAss(i)-tin/teen [(i)=schwa, or, as I think of it, shva]

Natani: Na-tAh-nee

Euchre: eOO-kray

Euchre's an actual word. It's "You-Curr"

Wow, you-kurr.

And to think I said it You-reach-ey

Heh... same thing here, everything else im sure i got right

Mine is worst :))) I read Euchre as "oo-sh-reh"

Yall are late.

Ok... What's about Euchre?..

Euchre is based on the word Euchre- which means it is pronounced as Yoo-kor or Yoo-ker

Hello all,

Either way I think that the wording and the way the words are said are elgeant as avwolf said ... honestly I think however Tom and any of his friends who help with his comic want to say the wording is fine ... either way I have no say in it and if i can understand it then they have done the job they set themselfs to ^^

thank you very much, Belzeber
(walks to another thread)

Were the words thought of as vocal combonations, or did they originate as spellings?

So we know Keidran and Euchre (by the way, that last e in "Euchre" is only minimally pronounced, being a schwa [at least in the word]), but can't we discuss the other words in the comic?

Euchre is a card game? Does anyone here play it?

?????
(wondered a lot) :shock:

I know how its said 'Yoo-kur', but im already having a hard time adjusting to say that, its just too easy to say it how i see it..., anyone else got this ?
