Gungnir is pronounced...

GUN-YIR, as in gun, like in hand'gun', the 'yir', as in a shortened form of the word 'year' Don't believe me? Google it. Then use Google translate to do an English to English translation and use the voice pronunciation feature to hear it for yourself

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kiwi kake Why would an English-English Google Translate work? The word is not English. It would be like asking it to say "chat" from a french post or how to pronounce "Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme" which is also not english. The word is nordic origin, not english.[/quote] yeah but it still does it in english for some reason :p if you put it in on auto-detect language, it thinks it's a dutch word

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chromification No idea why you tried to say you were wrong, way to contradict yourself. I said that your full of yourself because you keep stating your right even though, well... no one gives a damn.[/quote] if someone posts a thread saying 'how do you pronounce this', and a bunch of people reply with different answers, and everyone thinks there's is 'the right one', are they full of themselves? if no one gave a damn, why do people keep asking? why are there six threads in this forum that i've counted so far devoted to this question? i just thought i'd post the actual answer, and once again, i don't care if you don't care, and choose not to pronounce it that way, i'm still right. and if being right makes me full of myself, than so be it. and i wasn't trying to say i was wrong, why would i do that? how exactly did i contradict myself? i stated i wasn't trying to correct anyone, i posted this merely to answer a question that gets asked repeatedly, and because i wanted to share the new information i found. people do that all the time, too. are they full of themselves? i suppose you'd have to be full of yourself to feel the need to make your presence felt with accusative posts like yours. what, exactly, have i done wrong? and whatever you say, it doesn't change the fact that i'm right :)

GUN-GEAR Do one, Odin.[/quote] The second G is silent... like i said, don't care how you WANT to pronounce it, but I've noticed people asking how, so I thought I'd find out for myself... and 'gun-yir' is the proper pronunciation for the word
