Okay, I thought it would be intresting to see how each of us purnounces different words in Bionicle. For example, I say Lewa Lay-Wah. Now, you can pick as many as you like, and there's no list that you have to answer, I just want to see how different we purnounce things! P.s, I had no idea where to put this, but this seemed pretty good... So if I'm wrong, please move! So, let's see!

FH

one thing that I practically know is wrong is I pronounce mukau as "moo-cow".

gali:gal-ee kopaka:koh-paca tahu:tah-hoo onua:on-yooa pohatu:poh-hattoo lewa:lay-wa onepu:onn-apoo maku:mack-oo huki:hoo-kee jala-jall-ah kongu-kong-oo matoro-ma-torroh and thats all i can think of.

Lol... Moo-Cow? This is probably only one of the ridicules ways we purnounce Bionicle... No offence, of course.

FH

actually the correct way to pronounce lehvak and lewa is Lee-wuh and lee-vahk it says so on the lehvahk kal cd and did anyone get nuhvok-kal because i'm wondering how you say onua & onewa?

You say Muaka as Moo - aw - kuh. You say Kane - Ra as Kah - nee - Rah. You say Tarakava as Tah - rah - kah - vah. You say Nui Rama as Noo - ee - Rah - mah. You say Nui Jaga as Noo - ee - Jah - gah. You say Manas as Mah - nas. There goes the Rahi.

Bionicle: Bion cyle, Gali: Gale, thats all I can remember.

One puzzling one to me is Rahkshi:

Rock-shi or

Rack-shi? I prefer Rack-shi, it sounds cooler.

Koh-Pah-Ka, Gah-Lee, Ta-Hoo, O-Nu-Hah, Lay-wah (transpiring into Lee-Wah), Po-Hat-oo, Oh-Na-Wah.

um... yeah

Um, KalMixEater, I only wanted to know how we purnounced things, not a corrections Topic...
Let me see:
Rack-She,
Bean-ah-cle
Bow-Rock,
Bow-Rock-Cal,
Um... Koh-Peek-E, for Kopeke.

What about Onewa? How do you say it with out sonding like Onua

I purnounce it One-e-wah... What about you? Probably some strange way... Otherwise, you wouldn't ask!

FH

I pronounce it

"o" nay wah

I pronounce "Onewa" "Oh-nay-wah".

Here's a few of mine:
Onua: On-ua
Onewa: Own-ewa
Lewa: Lee-wa

(That's all I can think of that aren't absolutely obvious)

Tahu = Ta-hoo
Gali = Ga-lee
Lewa = Lay-wah (said so on the Toa CD)
Onua = On-oo-wah
Kopaka = Koe-pak-ah
Pohatu = Poe-art-oo (Toa CD)

Vakama = Vak-arm-ah
Nokama = Nock-arm-ah
Matau = Mat-ow/Mat-or (dependind on how I feel)
Whenua = Wen-oo-ah
Nuju = Noo-you
Onewa = Own-oo-wah-as-in-too-rah-gah-own-oo-wah
Those are my Toa/Turaga.

Lewa: Loo (as in moon) uh
Tahu: Tae Hoo " "
Gali: Ga li
Pohatu: (2 ways) either Poe Hatoo (Moo) or Po Hatoo (moo)
Kopaka Co Pack a
Onua On Ua (Ew)

Vakama = Vak-am-ah
Nokama = No-kam-a
Matau = Mat-a-u
Whenua = Wen-u-ah
Nuju = Noo-ju
Onewa = On-e-wah

I pronounce Lewa Lay-wah and Lehvak-Kal Lay-vak-Kal. It doesn't really matter to me what the Kal CD says, especially since the old Toa CD pronounced it Lay-wah.

P.S. I'm now a Toa! All right!!

Big List

Bionicle: By-on-ik-ol Toa: Toe-a Turaga: Ter-ag-a Tohunga: Toe-hung-a Matoroan: Ma-tore-o-an Rahi:Ra-he Tahu: Ta-who Pohatu: Poe-hot-two Onua: O-new-a Lewa: Lay-wuh Kopaka: Co-pah-ka Gali: Ga-lee Nuva: New-vah Takanuva: Tah-kah-new-vah Makuta: Ma-coo-tah

I pronounce Lewa Lew-a just how it sounds- thunderYAY! I'm a Tohunga!

QUOTE (thunder @ May 4 2003, 10:20 AM)

That's how I used to purnounce it... sort of.
I used to say:

Lou-ah,
Coop-Ah-Kah,
T-ah-who, (The letter T)
Gal-E (Letter E)
Pow-as-Two,
On-O-Ah.

Some are probaby right, but most are wrong, obviously...

FH

I've always pronouced Lewa "Lay-wa", just like it says on my 4 Toa CDs and Lehvak-Kal CD(Lay-vahk-cal Cee-Dee).

I think Mukau is supposed to be pronounced Moo-Cow. I think it's a pun.
I call the Toa of Earth O-Noo-Ah and the Turaga of Po-Koro O-Nee-Wah.

Is the Toa of Light's name pronounced Tah-Ka-Noo-Vah (short O sound), or Ta-Ka-Noo-Vah (short A sound)? (I asked this in another topic, nobody answered me. )
And is his mask pronoounced A-Voh-Kee (long O), or A-Vo-Kee (short O)?

Well, the narrator pronounces things the way Lego made them to be pronounced on the Bohrok-Kal CDs. You should check'em out.

Although I don't agree with Lehvak being "LEE-vack." There's an "H" there! It SHOULD be "LAY-vack."

This is the way I think you pernounce it. bi-on-i-cle.
T-KC

Um, he means words in Bionicle. Like here's one, Guurahk:

Guh-oo-rack
Goo-rack
Guh-oo-rock
Goo-rock
Goo-uh-rack
Goo-uh-rock

-Hmmm... quite a few possibilities....

Ohh! Umm! Well! Okay! I thought he was talking about how to pernounce the word bionicle.

Heheh... well we all know we pronounce it Bee-Oan-Aye-Clay. lol. But what about Onewa? I say Oan-Ay-Wa. Some say Oan-u-a. My friend says Won-wa. very funny name.
