How To Pronounce "Duck"

Post by milku3459 »

During the 2nd Chance Tournament, the casters called Duololoolockarad "Duck" because they couldn't pronounce his name. How do you think it should be pronounced now?

I'd say Ducky.

Why can't ppl pronounce 'ruyter' btw? Even most Dutchies can't/don't

Why is Ducklord not an option?

I wouldn't pronounce stuff in my head either if my language was French. Waste of brain power.

"duolckrad" doesn't represent any word and so you can really pronounce it however you want, although style guidelines do suggest that you pronounce it with a lowercase "d". I tend to use two pronunciations:

"duck" - here, the o, l, r, a, and d are silent.

DU - rhymes with "coup"
ol - like a big ol' pupper
krad - rhymes with bad

The real challenge will be for people to figure out how to pronounce Vinyanyérë.

You know you did a pretty good job of making up a new word when google only gives 5 hits for it, all of which are related to your forum accounts.

@pecelot Pretty close, but not quite.
@sircallen Before I was the best trashcan in North America I was the best Valla in North America (check out that hotslogs link /brag). The name is only partially made up though.
@iNcog Google Chrome saves me the pain, fortunately.

Pecelot's last "e" is wrong. It's pronounced more like an "ä" - or something in between those two.

„ä" is generally pronounced more like „e", right

I had to go look this up. I'm pretty sure the é should be pronounced as "ay" (rhymes with "ray"). The ë should be similar to "bed", though I often pronounce it somewhere between that and a schwa.

Is it a native word, then? Where does it derive from?
