General Zelda How Do You Pronounce Nayru?

[Starblast16]

I've been pronouncing Nayru a certain way all my life and U was wondering if I was saying it right.

 

[Ventus]

Nay-roo; how it's spelt.

 

[Azure Sage]

"Nay-roo", with the emphasis/accent/whatever on the "Nay" part.

 

[Violet Link]

Nai-ryu. Yeah.

 

[Big Octo]

NAY-roo.

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

NAY-roo

You could also say it like seck-see-moe-foe

 

[Ventus]

You could also say it like seck-see-moe-foe

I didn't know anyone else pronounced it like that! D: I'm not one of a kind anymore :clap:

 

[Starblast16]

To me it sounds weird when it's pronounced Nay-Roo. I've always pronounced it Nai-roo. I guess it doesn't really matter how you say it as long as you know what it means.

 

[ihateghirahim]

yeah, but it makes conversations difficult and confusing.

 

[Ventus]

yeah, but it makes conversations difficult and confusing.

Hardly at all. It would be like someone calling an "apartment" a "flat". As long as you two come to an understanding, it's nothing hard.

But "Nai-roo" is new to me; I never thought of pronouncing it like that.

 

[Wolf Sage]

I pronounce it exactly the way that it's spelled: "nay-roo" (Jap. nei-ru).

 

[ihateghirahim]

wait, aren't nayru and nairu the same? Is Nairu pronounced like Ni-ru?

 

[Mangachick14]

I've always said it like Nay-roo

 

[Mudora]

I've always pronounced it as "Nay-roo."

 

[videogamenerd10]

I actually pronounce it both ways
