Dave messing with his phone for someone

Where exactly did it say that? I thought the pronunciation you said was just from the fantroll name she had, where she wanted to make it fit the 6/6 lettering. I was definitely thinking it was the same as the greek goddess.

i was pretty sure that was hussie’s way of being like HEY GUYS LOOK

but whatever guys, do whatever the fuck you want

Actually the name of the greek muse is closer to cah-LYE-oh-pee and the musical instrument is cal-lee-OHP

bramblepatch

actually it was said in the comic itself that it’s pronounced cal-ee-OH-pee

checkmate

I've been pronouncing them all correctly then!? I've had people constantly telling me I said them wrong! So how about Calliope? Does that have more than one pronunciation?

paledstarlight

gayirkens

PAY-shees! it’s spanish/portuguese!!!!

trust me you guys i am HUGE on languages

I've been saying it LEE-jon since I first heard about the trolls god I feel dumb

pyrrha-sexual

ehehe no don’t worry! most people don’t pronounce it right and don’t realize or care that they’re not. it’s kind of a personal pet peeve of mine because i’m finnish myself so sjkdlfj pet peeve yeah

don’t worry about it though! something like 99% of the fandom pronounces SOMETHING incorrectly

but its it canon that leijon is spanish and thus would be pronounced "lei-hawn"? i mught be mistaken but i seem to remember that

turpentinemedusa-deactivated201

NNOOOOOOPE

it’s nordic, i absolutely PROMISE you

in any case, if it was spanish it would be lay-EE-hohn, which sounds rly weird

So about you guys just yelling about Leijon's pronunciation, I've been pronouncing it LIE-ON... is that correct, then?

martiniprincess-blog

nearly! the pronunciation in both swedish and finnish are LAY-ohn and LAY-oh-nah, but certain dialects will make it sound sort of like lion/liona uwu
