A question about pronouciation.

[Palin2222]

My friend and I got into a small argument on how to pronounce the word Jeuno.

Is it prounounced like "June-o"

or is Prounced like "Way-no"

I can see how both COULD be accururate... but which is right?

Personally I cast my vote for "Way-no"

I gotta go with "June-oh" like the town in Alaska. "way-no" es no bueno.

I too prefer "June-o", but I can't help, but overhear my brother's LS mates on ventrilo saying "Way-no" all day. Headset ftw...

If you listen to the voice over in the cutscene at the begining of the game it says June-oh.

That's right. I used to watch that when I got bored. I used all those pronunciations except "Bass-toook" because it sounded bizarre. I sitll say "Bass-tock." Dangit, bass like the fish, and not the guitar.

Hehe, ya I caught that as well, but I actually started using Bast-oo-k and almost 2 years later it's still a little funny to say.

Re: A question about pronouciation.

I just checked the Japanese Square-Enix site, and they use Jiyuno as the katakana for Jeuno. That means June-o is the winner.

[fallenintoshadows]

Re: A question about pronouciation.

Yeah Bas-toook annoyed me too so I say Bas-tock.

Re: A question about pronouciation.

Jesus christ, Way-no? Seriously folks.

Re: A question about pronouciation.

Luckily for us, the Japanese version has these spellt out phonetically.


Jeuno = ジュノ (jyu no)
