How Do You Pronounce "Bokoblin?"

[Shroom]

So, I've been wondering about this for a little while now, as I've heard various different ways people pronounce it. I've always called them "bo-cob-lins," sort of like how one would say "goblin" or how "moblin" is pronounced (at least I hope that is how moblin is pronounced), but recently, I've heard a few people called them "bo-co-blins," so the "co" in this case would be pronounced like it is in the word "cocoa" or "coke."

Anyway, how do you pronounce the name of these boko baka boys?

Boh-cah-blen is the way I've always pronounced it.

 

[YIGAhim]

Bow-Cah-Blin.

Bo-ko-blin is how I’ve always read it. I do read Moblin like goblin, but not for bokos. That’s because it sounds better to me and rolls off the tongue better. Plus, shortenening it as “Boko” leads me to pronounce it like that as well.

 

[YIGAhim]

I say boko as Bow-co. However like I said before, I pronounce bokoblin bah cah blin or bow cah blin

As I've gotten to see more and more of them throughout the series, I've found that I stress the syllables differently now than I used to. You'd think that wouldn't happen, but I think aloud while gaming sometimes, so saying bokoblin enough eventually made boh-koh-blin change into bo'kah'blin. It's technically not a different pronunciation, though. It's a matter of stress and speed on the syllables. The way I say it now, the first two syllables are very short and the last one is stressed, whereas before, they were all stressed about equally.

Bok-cob-lin

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

I've always said "Bow-coh-blin", just because of things like Boko Babas and Boko Seeds being pronounced the same way.

Beat em, Kill em, Stick em in an elixir

bow-cob-lin.

 

[Mipha]

I use the second one, but I visualize it more as Bo-Ko-Blin

I used to say it the wrong way until I found the PROPER (tm) pronunciation.
