Just for fun! I know there exist "the correct" pronunciations, but how do you pronounce the words in your inner monologue? :)

Nauvis:

  1. "Now-vis"
  2. Closer to "Novice"

Vulcanus:

  1. "Vulk Anus"
  2. Like "Tetanus"

Gleba:

  1. "Gleeba"
  2. "Glebbah"
  3. "Glay Bar"

Fulgora:

  1. "Ful-gore-ah"
  2. "Ful-guu-rah"
  3. "Fulger-ah"

Aquilo:

  1. "Ack-eelo"
  2. "A qui loh"
  3. "Ack-willow"

And lastly:

  1. "Space Age"
  2. "Spaceage" like "Mileage"

I feel like if you picked 2 for Spaceage, your the type to pronounce females like tamales, or tomatoes like tomatoes.

joe_archer@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

C'mon nobody pronounces tomatoes like tomatoes, that's ridiculous.

What kind of female do you like? Hot female every day and every night!

12112 and from now on I will be calling it spaceage.
Slaps roof of factorio. This bad boy has so much spaceage for all the time I'm putting into it.

I might actually be pronouncing fulgora 2 despite thinking 1, at least when speaking fast.

Gleba:

“Gleeba”
“Glebbah”
“Glay Bar”

Immediately in my head, this song started playing.
🎵GIRL... I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GLAY BAR.

LET'S START A WAR, START A NUCLEAR WAR
AT THE GLAY BAR, GLAY BAR, GLAY BAR 🎵

Oh man, I just got to Gleba. That song is going to loop constantly in my head for my entire time there now.

112111, although it used to be 111111 until the trailer. I started saying Glebbah because it sounded so weird, and now it stuck with me.

Not good at IPA, but the letter swapping is common in Finland, Sweden and eastern Norway?

3 3 1|2 1|3 2 1

Nauvis is "NAW - vis", like gnawing and aravice.

Vulcanus is "Vul - CAN - us", like Vulcan or Vulcanize

Gleba is more fun like "Glee - ba", but usually ends up being "glebbah".

Fulgora is "Full - GORE - ah" but I originally misread the name and said "Full - GROW - ah".

Aquilo is usually "A - QUILL - oh" but I accept arguments to pronounce it like Aquilae.

The DLC is two words: "Space - Age". Spaceage is whatever is dumped off a platform.

For sure 222121

SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 1y

Nauvis: Definitely 2

Vulcanus: Definitely 2, never even crossed my mind on 1. It's like Venus but it's a Vulcan.

Gleba: 2

Fulgora: 1

Aquilo: Well I've been pronouncing it as a-QUILL-ee-oh this whole time, probably due to the motorcycle brand "Aprilia," which looks similar to "Aquilo". I guess I can just drop the 3rd syllable. That makes it option 3 I believe.

Space Age: Of course 1. 2 is just wrong.

TL;DR: 222131
