Crendowing Posted February 22, 2002 "Chao". Sorry, I'm not a Sonic fan, but it's just been on my mind for a while. These "anime" freaks at my school keep bringing their GBA's to school with Sonic Advance on them, and then they go into a Sonic mantra. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted February 22, 2002 Depends on your accent I suppose, but proper English would be "Chay-o". If it's a Chinese name or something, they may it differently out that way. Or, you could be one of those annoying people who generally speaks proper English but occasionally pronounces things with a foreign accent if they were originally foreign words. 0 Share this post Link to post

IMJack Posted February 22, 2002 Japanese pronunciation: chya-o 'chya' is in "'Chya, right, and monkeys will fly outta my butt!" And a hard 'O' sound. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted February 22, 2002 Quote yup, swedish accent all the way. Expand Odd, I'm not Swedish. Oh yeah, and it's German accent too (Germans actually say 'chao' when they say goodbye. It's spelled differently though) Quote rnnertr Expand And that means? 0 Share this post Link to post
dr_st Posted February 22, 2002 Quote I don't give a shit, sonic games are even more boring than Unreal. Expand I actually like some of the platform Sonic games. And do you really like Daikatana? Cause I'm thinking about liking it too. I'm tired of everyone hating on it. Anyway, I voted "kay-o", because I once heard that the "Chao" is supposed to be the artificial non-existing singular form of "Chaos", and the pronunciation accordingly. BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before? 0 Share this post Link to post
Liam Posted February 22, 2002 Quote And do you really like Daikatana? Cause I'm thinking about liking it too. I'm tired of everyone hating on it. Expand I have fallen deeply in love with Daikatana, and I've only played the demo. It's been the first game since Hexen that I actually smiled whilst playing. I'm hunting out the full version, I'm going to try to grab a copy this weekend. It's a damn shame that ION died, too. Quote BTW, does anybody know the singular of "dice"? Have I asked it before?

IMJack Posted February 24, 2002 It's "die," but some people just call it a single "dice." And some of us call 'em "d6." 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted February 24, 2002 Quote And some of us call 'em "d6." Expand We, the freaks. But you know, that's not as bad as having a mantra/pose/chant everytime you're supposed to roll them. All my players do some stupid shit. 0 Share this post Link to post

Expand Heh, that can almost be interpreted as Liam responding to a stupid post. Expand Are you suggesting that my question was stupid? At least I didn't ask how to pronounce Chao. At least I didn't answer it wrong. In fact I'm the only one who answered it right. 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted February 25, 2002 Quote dr_st's post Expand 1)No, but Liam might have thought so 2)Uhhhh.....didn't I just say I wasn't a Sonic fan? 3)As Lüt said, it all depends on how you WANT to pronounce it...there's no right or wrong 4)Loosen up dude, you're becoming worse than me :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Crendowing Posted February 26, 2002 Thanks for clearing that up Dan. Actually, that's the slang way of saying it. The proper way is arividirce, however it's spelled. 0 Share this post Link to post
