How do u say Mario (Poll)

Is say it Mare-e-o unlike all the Ninty people.

i say it like you do as well. Mary o.

most other people say it MAR e-o, but i grew up saying it the other way, and im sticking with it.

I say Mar-e-oh

Mary-o sounds really weird to me -_-

I want to meet someone who pronounces it Marai-oh (like Mariah Carey) lol

Mar-e-o, like a pirate.

I say it the way he has always said it. "Itsa Me! MAR-E-OH!"

Mah-ree-oh

The way it was meant to be. :P

I sometimes say it like both. But I say MAR eo because he is Italian not French.

ma-ray-o

a better question would be: do you say "ninja gaiden" correctly? the correct would be ninja "guy-den", but many people say ninja "gay-den" >.>BrunoBRS

Another common mispronunciation is Ryu from Street Fighter.

A lot of people say Rye-you when it is actually Ree-you. (I say it both ways lol)

I think the only people who can legitimately say Mary-oh have to be from Brooklyn. And the slightly chubby kid in this commercial.

I say it like :Mario.

Mary=Girl Mar-E-Oh is the correct way, Mary-Oh is incorrect.randomwiiplayer

We're not talking about right or wrong here just how u it say

MAR-e-o

Mary-o as well as any other variation sounds weird to me.

In the correct Japanese pronunciation, the "R" makes a half-R, half-L sound (mixed together), and then the ri and yu sounds are also mixed together to form one syllable.

We can't type the proper way to speak it, because we don't have the L/R sound in English, but the closest we could get would be Lyu, with very little emphasis on the Y (making the word one syllable).

Actually, the best way to hear how it sounds is to listen to Ken or Ryu say "Shoryuken" in the game (just like your username, what a coincidence!). Split it up and the 3 parts are "sho-ryu-ken", when they say the "ryu" part, that's how to say it. Look it up on Google.

But only geeks and otaku say it like that. :o I just say "rye-you" because otherwise my friends won't know who I'm talking about.

i've always said ryu correctly (or an accented version of it, that sounds sorta like hee-u, with a short "ee" and the "u" sounding like the "pull" "u"), but apparently the japanese and the portuguese pronunciations are really close to each other, so chances of screwing up when reading japanese words with ocidental characters are smaller for me :P

but the winning prize goes to people who read everybody's favorite console wrong:

"hey, i got a new console!"

"really? which one?"

"why"

"why what?"

"it's the name of the videogame, idiot"

"uuuh... *leaves*"

I say Mar-e-o, the way it's supposed to be.

a better question would be: do you say "ninja gaiden" correctly? the correct would be ninja "guy-den", but many people say ninja "gay-den" >.>BrunoBRS

Ninja Guy-den, again, the way it's supposed to be

and Ree-you, but for me its always to talk about Ryu Hayabusa. I don't like SF :P

Ma-ri-jo

Mar-e-o, like a pirate.

zeldaluff

Yeah. :P

I say it that way, too.

I say it the same way the announcer on Super Smash Bros Brawl says Mario

i mean just listen to MAR-e-o say his name on the game

"MAW-E-O!" would translate to MAR-E-O without the itanlian accent. definately not MARY-o

I say M-dfyejhaerhjsntjjaejgfehr-e-o in my own mixed up language.

"Mare-e-o".

This guy hates it when people mispronounce Samus or Mario...

Mar-E-O PRIDE

That video is so messed up.

I say it as Mar-e-oh and there is no i or e in mario so how could anyone pronounce it as mair-ee-oh?

Actually some people say it marry-oh so that could another option. Anyway, I say it like the majority, Mar-e-oh.

Mar-e-o

Well, technically, there's no contest here. It is supposed to be pronounced Mar-e-o, as is done by all the games, TV shows and *shudder* movies.

I say mar-e-o.
