How is Zariche actually pronounced?

is it Zair-RICH
or Zair-Rochee (my friend thinks it's that)
Or some other type of pronunciation =.=.

Well....depending on exactly what language is used as the base it is probably either:

ZA-REACH (How I first thought on how it sounded.)
ZA-REESH (My alternate thought on what it is)
ZA-RISH (The final possibility)

Everything depends on what 'source' they are borrowing the 'riche' part of the word from. It shouldn't be 'RICH' because of the trailing 'E", and it sure as hell better not be the "ROCHEE' because there is no 'O' or soundalike in it much less a trailing 'EE'. For some reason my brain wants to qualify one pronunciation as 'German' (Or at least east european) and the others as 'French'. But thats my completely amateur (reasonably educated) and partly fantasy guesstimation.

I doubt anyone would nab the German 'ch'. It's incredibly difficult to pronounce for foreigners after all, and the then-not-mute E would just sound awkward.

IMHO. :p

Orvieta Oct 31, 2006, 12:54 AM #7

Za-Reach-Ee is the way I name it.

Madders Oct 31, 2006, 1:17 AM #8

Or the really lazy way - Z :p

FireDragon101 Oct 31, 2006, 1:28 AM #9

:)

Leyanire Oct 31, 2006, 2:19 AM #10

I always go for Za-Ri-Chee but to make it easy (or lazy :p) I say THE sword or Z is in the world LOL

Crawlerin Oct 31, 2006, 3:35 AM #11

Our language is based on "pronounce as it is written" rule, zo I read it zariche.
Or just call it "that little sword" or something :)

id say zarishe but us australians have a habit of pronounceing things as they are written

Nope, I'm Scottish and that sound is easy for me to reproduce as it is for all Gaelic speakers (Scots, Irish, Manx)

Think of "LoCH Ness Monster"
Under no circumstances is it pronounced "LOCK Ness" ;)

EllieBelly Oct 31, 2006, 5:45 AM #14

tempt Oct 31, 2006, 5:58 AM #15

Mistryl Oct 31, 2006, 7:44 AM #17

The "correct" pronunciation is Zah-ree-che. (Che as in "chess".)

Although I tend to say "Zah-ree-cheee" personally. :)

EcronyteIDC Oct 31, 2006, 9:52 AM #19

Orvieta Oct 31, 2006, 9:53 AM #20

EcronyteIDC Oct 31, 2006, 10:37 AM #22

Never once it was localized. But when info was first comming out about it and Korean patch notes were floating around it was called Zardiche. I still have to correct myself cuz I always put the D in.
