Does anybody know how you're supposed to pronounce "Abandonia"

ReamusLQ

08-05-2005 09:41 PM

I pronounce it <uh-BAND-own-ee-ya> I've heard it <abandon-ia> as well though

Yobor

08-05-2005 09:51 PM

I pronounce it the same way as Reamus.

Sweet, thanks fellas :D

I do not pronounce it. :crazy: I am just thinking of the word as an object than a word. Heh. Strange.

I pronounce it abandonya. :D

DeathDude

Yeah I'd say it like ReamusLQ does, or something close to that at least.

LOL Is that really Tom

ReamusLQ

09-05-2005 06:51 AM

he pronounces it like I do, but with the accent on the A part, and not the BAND part

Isn't the main stress on the 'do' rather than on the 'a'?

Edit: I really have to stop making typos...:rolleyes:

Like Tom - exactly the way it's written, with the accent on the 'O'.

BeefontheBone

09-05-2005 08:44 AM

me too - a-band-O-nya

A. J. Raffles

09-05-2005 09:19 AM

Yes, but is it an 'o' as in 'dough' or an 'o' as in 'Tom'?

Maikel

09-05-2005 09:22 AM

a-ban-dow-nja

or so :D

Iron_Scarecrow

09-05-2005 10:22 AM

Well I say it differently to Tom. I say a-ban-done(as in cone but with a d)-knee-ah

Yep, the accent is on the O.

BeefontheBone

09-05-2005 11:46 AM

Yeah, me too - the first bit doesn't sound like "abandon" anymore, it's like "abandone" in the same way as IS.

I pronounce it AH-BAND-OH-NIYA. And boy, Tom sure do sound like a real norwegian... He has the same sloppy background dialect as everyone I know and myself has :D.

ever since tom made the rip-off way back, when we still had the phpbb forum I pronounce it as Smurfonia :D

I don't think many people remember it but it had a pretty cool layout too...
