Poll: How do you pronounce Terraria

[SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP]

This has been gnawing at my mind for some time now.

I'm not very good at spelling out words phonetically, hopefully you will understand what I mean.

Yes, people do seriously pronouce it like the second option. I didn't know it until my friend tried to correct me one day.

Also, someone told me that Redigit pronounces it "air" in an interview.

Personally, I think it's the first, because it only has one "r" after the second "a". If it had two, then it would be pronounced the second way.

EDIT: My mind is made up. It is definitly Terrarium but with an a at the end http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terraria

Ter-AIR-ia is how I have always said it. Never heard it the other way.

 

[Wickatricka]

^ Yeah I have no idea where op got the idea that people pronounce it differently.

 

[Easton Dark]

Tear- Air- E- Ah

Tear as in, rip a piece of paper, not crying.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

Teh-rar-ri-ah

But that may be a little aussie coming through.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Honestly, I have no idea how to pronounce it, so I usually say it like Te-rair-arr-ar-ira. Yes, I know I'm lame. Most of the time I try to avoid saying it in general.

 

[lacktheknack]

Like a pirate.

My brother and I have been having this argument. He takes it completely seriously. I don't see how anyone could see it spelled any other way.

Terraria

Terr - arr - eee - uhh

Terraria

Where the hell do you get "air" from? There's no spelling to suggest that...

I get "terr - air - ee - uh" because the word looks like "terrarium", which is pronounced similarly.

 

[Galaxy Roll]

I don't, but I will go with Terrarrria if I ever need to.

 

[Windexglow]

Ter-R-E-ah

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Terr-aria

Starting out kinda like you'd say Terra, but cut off before the A and then keep going with ARIA as in how some people would say "air" (Presumably latin people, but i'm not sure)

EDIT: If you're wondering about the perhaps curious way of placing emphasis i'll justify it by being norwegian.

 

[Telumektar]

I pronounce it Terr-a-ria

-Terr like in "terror", a like in "ah?" and ria like in "malaria"

But then Spanish is my first language so I tend to go for the Latin-languages approach when reading this kind of stuff.
Slightly OT: videogame devs/publishers have a tendency for using names that sound cool in English but sometimes they sound mundane for those who speak romance-languages.

EDIT - Windexglow's version sounds the most accurate to me: Ter-R-E-ah

 

[emeraldrafael]

when you first look at it, you want to pronounce it with Air, cause it looks like Terrarium and it starts to feel more natural rolling off the tongue.

But when I start to say it, I want to say it more with the ARR sound, cause it just looks more... right (to me at least). and sounds more right.

...

though I've never played.

 

[Furioso]

I'm pretty sure Terraria comes from the word "terrain" so ter-AIR-ia is how it should be pronounced

 

[busters]

Ter-ARR-ria is how I've always pronounced it.

 

[Laser Priest]

I mostly just devolve into a low growl with it.

Ter-rrr-ee-rrrrr

 

[Scrimshaw13]

its just the word terrarium with an "a" on the end. You say it just like that.

 

[War Penguin]

TerrARRRia. That's the way I kept hearing it and that's the way I pronounce it.

 

[Rodrigo Girao]

As a Brazilian, I have to pronounce it "Te-HA-rya."

 

[F4LL3N]

Sometimes I say 'Terr ee ree ah' or 'Terra ree ah', but I've heard it pronounced 'Terr RAH ree ah', or 'Terr ARR ia'.

If I'm not thinking about it, I'll say Terra Ree Ah. But I don't think that's right.

Teh-rar-ri-ah

But that may be a little aussie coming through.

I'm Aussie too and that's how I pronounced it until I heard someone actually say it.
