FF10 Tidus  How do you say...

[color=navy blue]I have debated this with my friends at school...how do you say

Tidus.

I say it is pronounced like T[ee]dus (where i is pronounced with a long e), while others say the "i" is pronounced as "i". I say it's e because in japanese, the "i's" are pronounced as "e's"...and my friend who is in Japanese will back me on that one...

Ether

[Ee]ther: where the "e" is drawn out. or Ether, as it's spelled: short "e". I say it's option 2.

Gil

Either the name Jill, or like a fish gill. i'll take the fish...

anyways, tell me what you think![/color]

The tides will part,
love shall leave the heart,
hell will swell the shores,

Hope a dream,
a crystal's gleam,
the end will near,
we'll know no fear.


An empty room,
an early tomb,
a mournful eye,
and our hollow cry.

Hmm, I think since it's a Japanese name, it should be pronounced the Japanese way.

Teedus.

Yup. If we're going by the Japanese syllabic pronunciations, then Tidus is indeed [Tee-dus]. Gil would be with a [guh] sound, instead of a [j] sound. And ether...I think the roomaji is [eeteru], which would mean using a short "e." So there ya go... :bored:

If you have Kingdom Hearts, Tidus the name is pronounced in it near the very beginning of the game (Within about 10-15 minutes depending on how you play) when Wakka says he and Tidus are going to explore the dark cave later.

In this vocalization, Tidus is indeed pronounced as T[ee]dus.

Its supposed to be Teedus like the Japanese way, but I find it easier to say Tie dus considering my friends always say thats the way to say it.
