Pronouncing names

[Inazuma]

While we're on the pronunciation topic, how do you say "Techer"? Is is Te-ch-er, Tekker, or something else?

you really wanna know the correct pronunciation? its techter (written as tekutaa). they took the eng word techer (based off the word technique) and modified it slightly, like many pso/psu terms are.

btw, did you know that dimate is actually pronounced dee mate and trimate is actually toh ree mate. ST likes to take english words and tweek em a bit. unfortunatly this stuff doesnt show up on eng ver. it would prob look like mass misspellings -_-;

Anybody who's taken chemistry knows that's not how you pronounce those prefixes... mono representing 1, di (die) representing 2, tri (try) representing 3 for compounds (heck, the symbols for these when on your palette have the same number of dots). If anything, it's likely that the JP named made the names shorter for simplicity's sake for an "ee" sound, since you'd need two characters to mimic the "eye" sound. Choose whichever pronunciation you wish, though one makes much more sense to me than the other...

im no language scholar and i know very very very little japanese...but from what I understand there is no equivalent for the letter "G" in japanese. When they try to pronounce g its sounds like zhi or zi. AKA, a-gi-to= a-zhi-to. I do not promote the use of the other pronunciation. Keep in mind I could be utterly completely wrong!

Completely wrong. It's the same sound (give, geezer, geist).

Geez, what's weird is English pronunciation, Japanese has one of the easiest pronunciations of all the languages!!

What I didn't know is that dimate was pronounced "dimeito" I always said di-ma-te lol

for the record, im tired of ppl using the english pronunciation of "Sange"

it is pronounced 'Sah-n-gay' not 'Say-n-j..' (dont know how to extend j sound without making it juh :P)

i know the correct english way to say mono, di (die) and tri (try) but since the japanese devs purposely altered the pronunciation, that becomes the correct way within psu. there are items w/ much longer names such as star atomizer, so i doubt they did em this way to save space.

モノメイト (mono)
ディメイト (di) sounds like the "de" in delicious
トリメイト (tori) toh ree

its your choice if you wanna use the correct names or not.

Now that you mention atomizers... when I first played PSU (jp version) I read in katakana what I though was "Cosmo atomizer" but it is the moon atomizer x, so it provably said "cross moon atomizer", or they just changed the name in English xd
