Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

you pronounce natal the same way you say fatal, like tom was in a fatal accident. they couldn't call it fatol or faytol, fatoe etc cuz those aren't real words, Natal is actually an adjective that refers to birth.



Nay-tal

There's a correct way and an incorrect way to pronounce "natal."

Unfortunately, most people have figured a way to bastardize the queen's English. I blame the internet ... and Peter Molyneux for believing he's a slick-shit innovator.

for the love of god, learn phonetics. It's not that hard.

it's actually: n(ei)'tal

In pronunciation respelling, it's nay-TAHL

and to simplify even more, it's

Neigh, as the horse vocalization, or nay as in "I said, 'nay', good sir"

and then tall, as in, "Yao Ming is tall"

furthermore, the emphasis is on "tall", not "nay". In your OP selections, capitalized sections means that is where the emphasis is. Like EM-pha-sis, not em-PHA-sis

 



I go with na tall or nah tall or what the guy above me said. the whole neigh sound.

But how is it the correct way? Microsoft pronounce it NahTAHL so it's NahTAHL.
