Posted 24 Oct 2007 I pronounce it like the Spanish word for coffee! Coff-eh Um. . . Well I learned somethings. A lot of Zelda's words have latin roots. Like Termina means to Finish or End. Fitting. Dominion is to Control or Rule. Ciella pretty much means The Sky. Well, the closest thing to Termina (I believe) is the word termino, which I believe is an adjective, so it may just be termina in a certain context. Dominion is actually a word in English, but it does have a Latin root. And sky in Latin is caelum. Nice try, though. (PH Spoiler-ish thing): Bellum is the Latin word for war. So now you know where they got the name from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 25 Oct 2007 The first time I experienced Zelda, I couldn't read the words. So my mom pronunciations became mine Deku - Due-Koo Kokiri - Ku-Kor-Ee (I'm kinda curious how that came around to be said like that) Sheik - She-k What about Cucoo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
