Forums - Sony - How do you pronounce Ico?

I spent quite a few years in germany, including when the game came out, so I've always pronounced it Ee-ko (though ee makes me think of a long sound, which isn't the case, I pronounce both syllables short).
So pretty much the way it sounds in Japanese.

I say Eye-ko. ryhmes with Micro .




The same way as it should be. Both of my native languages has little or no diphthongs, so "i" = "ee".

I've always used the right pronounciation, because in Sweden we pronounce vowels the same way they do in Japan. So "i" is "ee" here too, rather than "eye".

So, you guys say "EE-pod"?

In France, most people do

Eye - ko

But I was always well aware that was incorrect. I just got used to saying Eye - ko

Well, the whole Project Trico thing convinced me it was pronounced like 'eye.' Why would it be project Treeco?

I thought "Trico" was actually "Toriko" or "Trikko".

So, Eye-ko, Nee-co, Trikko?

we pronounce i like ee in portugues, but I always said eye-co, as if it was in english.

and btw, I have always wanted to know the IPA (phonetic alphabet), one day I'll take my time to "study" it :P



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

The way it's spelled.

EE-ko, because I know a bit of japanese that one always felt more natural to me
