Bovineform Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi. I know Sanderson has said that the pronunciations of names are whatever we want them to be but I still wanted to know how most of you pronounce Marasi. I pronounce it Marsi with the Mars as in the red planet. My friend pronounces it as Ma-raa-see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljósmóður she/her Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ma [with the 'a' as in apple]-RA-sigh for me. But then I don't do the French flick for Kelsier or Vin either so willing to admit my pronunciations are probably different from most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Funny you should mention this, since someone corrected my pronunciation at the Bands of Mourning midnight release... I say her name "muh-RAW-see." Also, I think we should totally expand this thread to include pronunciations of other names. For example, MeLaan. I say her name in my head as "may-lawn" (equal emphasis on each syllable, with the first one halfway between a monophthong and a diphthong), but I'm curious how the rest of the fandom says it. Same for Sazed. Where do you guys put the emphasis? "SAW-zedd"? Or "suh-ZEDD"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bovineform Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) I pronounce Sazed as - Saa-zedd. MeLaan - Meh-Laan Edited March 5, 2016 by Bovineform 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landis963 he/him Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Marasi is always mare-uh-see for me. MeLaan is meh-lawn, TenSoon is ten-zoon. When I first read Mistborn, Sazed was suh-zedd, but nowadays he's sah-zed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khyrindor he/him Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I pronounce Sazed as SAY-zed, mostly because his nickname is "Saze" so it only makes sense as SAY-zed or SAYZD. But then SAYZD takes just as long to say as "Saze," so my logic takes the first option. Also, I say may-LAWN.

vividox Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 MAR-a-see. I've always said SAYZD, one syllable, but now I'm questioning it. me-LAWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird she/her Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I pronounce Sazed as SAY-zed, mostly because his nickname is "Saze" so it only makes sense as SAY-zed or SAYZD. But then SAYZD takes just as long to say as "Saze," so my logic takes the first option. Also, I say may-LAWN. I realized this too as I was reading Secret History. Doesn't make sense to call him "SAYZ" if his full name is said "SAW-zedd." So I think you are right--it is most likely "SAY-zedd." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bovineform Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 When it comes to Sazed's nickname, I have an entirely different problem. I know how the common pronunciation of Sayz goes. But my brain always, and I mean ALWAYS reads it as Say Z. Like, Jay Z. And then I have to go back a bit to read it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashan’Elin he/him Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) For Sazed, I say SAY-zed, MeLaan is May-Lawn, and Marasi, because my brain is weird and reads thing like a mush of letters, somehow came out as mar-say-i Edited March 11, 2016 by Nashan'Elin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landis963 he/him Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I always thought Sazed's nickname was "sah-zay," but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistborn16 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) I've always pronunced the names like this: Sazed: Sah-Zedd MeLaan: Mee-Lawn Marasi- Maa-raa-si By the way, how do you guys pronounce Demoux? I've always pronounced it De-Mooh But is that right? Also there's Cett. How do you pronounce his name? I pronounce it "Set", but my brother pronounces it "Chett". How do you guys say it?
