Imagine Loki trying to seduce you by pronouncing “Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch” absolutely perfectly, without hesitating or stumbling, in the sexiest voice he can muster

*MOD for those who don’t know what the ever-loving Loki this is, this is a town in North Wales which translates to  "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fierce whirlpool of St Tysilio of the red cave" I have been here, it’s dainty and lovely.

How come some people say the word "greasy" like breezy with a G instead of a B? I thought it was like saying Greece-y ??

Sometimes I want to reference schrodinger's cat but the problem is that I have trouble pronouncing schrodinger and so I have given up entirely

and say schwarzenegger's cat instead

Mystery of a name

I noticed that most people pronounced Jaal`s name like “Jal” - only with one letter “a”

It`s bothered me (not sooo much but anyway) `cause I pronounce every letter “a” separately and it looks like “Ja-al”

Idk is it a real mistake? In russian language every letter is pronounced and if I hadn`t seen the spelling  of his name before I would write it like “Jal” - as I hear it

and Vetra:

I love her name soooo much, it`s so poetic...

Her name is very similar to the russian word “wind” - ”veter” (pronounce every letter and ringing “r”)

I hope her nature and personality are the same as the wind - lightweight but strong at the same time ;)
