Author Topic: How do you pronounce Mario? (Read 18728 times)

Is the "r" part of the 1st or 2nd syllable? For me, it's part of the 2nd. Saying the first syllable is "Mar" is ambiguous, it doesn't say how you pronounce the "a".

A in Mario: long vowel. Like, "Ah, now I see" or something. Or like something is marred. (Like scratched) No matter what you say, it will always be pronounced that way.

It sure gets boring having the same signature all the time. See what I mean?

Well, everyone who talks about it here in England says it with the short vowel.

Ma-ree-oh.

It seems to be an England / America difference in pronunciation, and I don't understand why this should be.

Cheers,

Hello? It's because you have English accents! We talk differently than you! Of course it would be different!

I was just about to get around to that myself. And then, I was thinking, wouldn't British people pronounce "cat" more like the way American people pronounce "cot"? If that holds true, then we both pronounce it pretty much the same... still, man, I mean listen to Charlie! He says it correctly in every newer game featuring Mario!!

No, the problem here is that you're all americans. You see, the rest of the world (including the country the developed english [england]) dont use 'mah' because its stupid, and only yanky doodle dandy's say crap like that. It's Mario. Just like it looks. Not mahhhhhhrio, like I'm so sure you all say. Christ, speak properly.

"speak properly"

You're an idiot. If one speaks in one's own accent, one is speaking properly.

Exactly. And I was just thinking, a lot more people in America use English than in England. Ever think of that? the UK is like only as big as Texas! (OK, maybe it's not that small...) And plus, in this case, the way Charles Martinet pronounces Mario is correct for how you say Mario the video game character's name.

It's obvious that it looks like it's pronounced differently to each of us. To English people, spelled normally, it looks like maar, but to me, and a ton of other american people (at least), it looks like marr. So there. It's all what you're used to. What's the point in getting angry or anything?

Oh, and "Prop", the Japanese DEVELOPERS of the games say it the same way as Americans, and so do more people than you think. Either you live in a different world, or you don't know much about the rest of it. I think I'll quit this topic now.

Okay, Okay. So we know how to pronounce Mario's name. But the REAL question is: How do you pronounce "Wario"?

Umm... I agree? Sometimes I pronounce it like Mario, and sometimes I pronounce it like "War"-ee-o. As in a war. So I guess this post is useless.
Oh, wait, I know! The key is always Charles Martinet.
