Ar-DUUUUUUUUH

Well, in my song: (Rune) Scape Oddity, I pronounce it Ar-Doon, to rhyme with do and...err...poo :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before then, however, I had pronounced it Ar-dohne, but I wanted to rhyme it. I really have no idea how it should be said.

ARE-DEEEEEE :lol:

CANE

 

Just to be different.

 

Think about it. A freaking Dragon Cane with a Dragonstone gem.

The spec will simply your character equiping a glove and beachslapping the enemy, who will break down and do the Cry emote for 10 seconds straight.

Anyone here speak french? :lol: It's "Ar doo nyah"

 

 

 

R-doe-n j (sounds almost french, the E is "silent")

 

 

 

Congratulations to both of you, your prononciation is quiet close to the French way! :)

 

 

 

But, because it has a a few sounds that actually doesn't exist in English, I'm afraid you can't prononce that name in the exact way a French man would prononce it... Unless you've been taught french of course! :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being French myself, I'll try to give you some hints:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AR is similar to the German "Ach", with a strong R coming from the back of your throat like in "Paris".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DOU is similar to "doo" but much shorter (speak it fast or just say "doe").

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GNE has no equivalent in English. It's a kind of mix of the begining of "new" and and the end of "nya-huh" (the "e" at the end of a french word is almost silent).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the way I prononce it is something like "ARH-DOE-NYA-HUH"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Yanille is simply prononced "YA-NEEL" in French.

at first i just glanced at the name on the map, and when i glanced i thought it was spelled ardenouge or something of that sort, so of course i always pronounced it ard-en-ooge (like saying ooze, only with a g)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

like other people have said, once you pronounce it wrong, you neevr change, so its still ard-en-ooge to me.
