The Japanese do a really good job of pronouncing Einar. As a Scandinavian myself. It is pronounced “Ey-nar”, not ”I-nar”. The ”nar” part is a bit harder for English speakers who don’t roll their r’s. What usually happens is that they pronounce it like “are”, since they have to compensate by making the “a” longer. It should be a sharp and short “a” similar to the a’s in “haha” or a fast “ah”. But I probably confused you more by this essay so just say what you will. x)

Most reactors speaking English pronounce the k sound while in the anime and manga, it's more of sh sound like a-she-, not k, which is from Old Norse. Another example is Jean in AOT. A lot of English speakers pronounce it like 'gene' because that's how it's pronounced in English. But in the manga and anime, it's more like Jan because it's from French. Not all European names in anime are from English.

2023-05-05 23:32:14 +0000 UTCyeah exactly. i only figured out via google that "i-nar" is the proper way according to where the name originated from.

2023-05-05 20:52:00 +0000 UTCyeah going by the Japanese pronunciation of non-Japanese names is always a gamble

2023-05-05 20:33:41 +0000 UTCFor Einar's name pronunciation, I usually go with "aye-nar", but I believe the proper way to say it is "i-nar".
