Nyn

[OptimusPrime]

How do you say it?

 

Nin?

 

Neen?

 

9?

 

Its 9 isnt it?

[Nynaeve]

It is indeed 9. Even though most of the people I met in Dragoncon have been quite successful in mispronouncing it. So well done for the observation.

 

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[OptimusPrime]

If you posted 9 instead of Nyn you could save yourself 67% of the effort it takes to sign off, you know.

[Nynaeve]

Well, technically I could save 100% time if I stopped doing it all together. But it's an old habit from the RP days pre-split that sort of stuck. I don't realize I'm doing it most of the times lol

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[OptimusPrime]

You were conscious of it that time though werent you

[Nynaeve]

Yep, I was.

Well, if someone wants to know how to pronounce Nynaeve, then all that person has to do is look up that name in the glossary of the EoTW.

Well, if someone wants to know how to pronounce Nynaeve, then all that person has to do is look up that name in the glossary of the EoTW.

 

 

Well... except I've always thought that the pronunciation guides in the back of the books are kinda vague.

 

For example, Myrddraal is pronounced MUHRD-draal.

Do both a's get pronounced?

 

what about saidar and saidin?

 

they are sah-ih-DAHR and sah-ih-DEEN.

I don't see three syllables in the spellings, yet they are there.

[cosmicpanda]

sa - i - dar.

 

sa - i - din.

[Moon Sedai]

I see sai-dar and sai-din.

but that might just be me.

[cosmicpanda]

Say it like you're speaking Italian!

[Nynaeve]

Hey, no hijacking my thread for WoT pronunciation.

 

This is all about ME! me me me!

 

 

Now, how do you pronounce Nurit? DO YOU KNOW THAT? :P I didn't think so.

 

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[OptimusPrime]

Well, if someone wants to know how to pronounce Nynaeve, then all that person has to do is look up that name in the glossary of the EoTW.

 

Ive not looked it up but Ive always assumed that I was correct on it being Nina Eve in one word.

 

Say dar and say din is how I say em. I can understand Taim being Ta-eem but Im not going out of my way to pronounce every single i as its own syllable.

[Aust]

If you have trouble saying 'Nyn', you could just call her your 'Naughty Bunny' - a bit longer to remember, but so full of possibilities.

[Nynaeve]

I don't remember inviting you to my thread, Aust. We already talked about this. Give me some air or I'll sic cindy on you :P

 

 

 

Nyn

[Aust]

Hey, I was just bringing the focus back to you :)

[Nynaeve]

And I'm just trying to find a reason to sic cindy on you >.>

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[OptimusPrime]

The desire to do it is reason enough!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[Nynaeve]

I'm right there with ya. I get the whole run pussycat, kill kill concept....

 

And I think you did get it right. 99% of people call me New-reet. And the remaining 1% avoids saying my name so they wouldn't say it that way lol

 

Oh well. I don't really care. As long as you have sweets, I'll answer to any name.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i went to school with more than one Nurit, and they never corrected me, but they could have just been being nice about it.

 

but i got olga nachimovsky's name right first time out, so i think we were all on the same page.

[bad company]

Worst I had was Keshvardoust

[Nynaeve]

*blinks* hey, badco!
