Nice profile pic 😆

I just have one question: why Clorinde is pronounced with "i" instead of the "in" nasal sound?

@@Claushanga I'm not sure about that one to be fair, it might be one or the other the name is really old and I couldn't find any reliable source for the pronunciation. But it just sounds more logic as a french speaker to use the one closer to the English pronunciation in this case but I might be wrong

You should pin this, friend!

you deserve it bro! congrats!

I'm not french and I laughed so hard

They literally named a town "Fish" 😂

Y a une personne qui s'appelle Véléda et Semaine ça me foudroie

i know mathematician called possion

Thats accurate tho

Yeah 😂😂

Then you might want to know that baguette also means wand. If you read Harry Potter in French, they say baguette magique to mean wand.

@@Shijaru64 MAGIC BAGUETTE 🤩

Same lol perfect greeting for fontaine

Fontaine is a multi culture region , i saw many Italian backgrounds than french

meeting a random guy named Schubert was funny

Fischl lollll

Prinzessin der Verurteilung lol

So true

Haven't seen that yet 😭

Not the same, but a few days ago I watched the Spy x Family and they literally named a dessert MomMom cake (Meremere)

If someone got twin daughters should named them Navia and Chlorinde then the family have blast.😊

It's honestly such a pretty name. But maybe it isn't really an appropriate name for a person, since apparently people were using it for boats

I didn’t even know how to pronounce it even if I’m french- I was confused if it was "Clo-ree-nd" like English or "Clo-rINd" read literally with french "in" 😭

@@solarpanda3401 you know there is some weird parents that are super into naval history and just call their child after some cruiser or battleship

Fontaine is Europe based not French, they talked about it on stream, so pronounciation is correct as this is Fontanian term, not French term. You prounounce it how Genshin developers decide as it's alternate universe language

bros tryna claim all the terms are a made up language

Ou « monsieur Neuvillette » 😂 mes deux pnj préférés « gravier » et « luzerne » 😭

But mondstadt is germany, liyue is china, Inazuma is japanese or smth., Sumeru i don’t remember and the dessert egypt/arab i think. It wouldn’t make sence to say whole europe in my opinion bc it definitely is not whole of europe mainly french and a little bit of italien with dishes like the lasagna (and in the world quests there is also german but it has smth. to do with the abyss so thats why) But yeah they have their own pronunciation but inspired by actual words and names from the region they are inspired by and in Fontaine it is mainly french (even if that wasn’t their intention)

UNDERRATED COMMENT TY

Where is Chevreuse?

Ying is awesome!

I hope we also got Sumeru by someone. But I guess Sumeru names aren't that hard to pronounce

still waiting for inazuma one

​@@turjamajumder7053It's hard to do sumeru because it's a mix of Indian and middle eastern names and some of the names or made up or derived from some other names. I don't think anyone will do correct pronunciation guide for all those names.

someone also did a mondstadt one in german

Like in one piece with katakuri that means dog thooth or in french "dent de chien" sadly with this one in the french version of the manga he is called dent-de-chien so the badass name isn't there

Pickle from Baki comes to mind tbh

As someone who understands arabic and persian,i had a blast going through sumeru and the best moment of it was when i found the dog in the village who was named "sag"(sag literally means dog in persian),or the blacksmith being named "ahangar"(which also means blacksmith in persian)

The Palace of Palace Palace (but from 3 languages with similar cultural roots lol) comes to mind which, to be fair, is a lot like how some scientific names for stuff work the same way irl 🤣😭

​@@craftearieewait I'm curious which palacewas named that in the game?lmfaooo

How do fok do you know this? I need you in my bookshelf to replace my encyclopedia

Gracias por la información se agradece❤

so awesome...

@@leclanche7127 I wanna put them in my bookshelf too

They did this with other names too. Wriothesley’s name is a surname from history also.

There’s actually a place called poisson in France, so it’s not that surprising

wait until you learn about distribution and statistics in advance math. We have Poisson distribution (the fish distribution)

Je comprends pas, pourquoi est-ce drôle ? Ou tu veux dire la prononciation des anglophones ?

@@Shijaru64 Non je ne me moque pas de la prononciation des anglophones, mais c’est un extrêmement long nom et il est complètement en français de plus, j’entends toutes les blagues de “oui oui baguette” partout et je trouve drôle en général que comparé aux autres régions, ils ont mis un très fort emphase à mettre des trucs en français tels que les titres de travail comme “Gestionnaire”

I'm not even fluent in French and still learning and that had me BALLING it was so fucking funny! 😂

MOI AUSSI- Genre ça m'a tellement surprise d'entendre toute une phrase en Français alors que je je voulais parlé à un PNG ça m'a bien fait rire 😭✨

French is not my first language but ORATRICE MÉCHANIQUE D’ANALYSE CARDINALE is freaking hilarious I just can’t. It reminds me of my shitty OCs named smth like Anna Lodovica Martina Crévan I created when I was 12

I remember a npc in sumeru named Nabati, that's my favourite waffle biscuit brand😂😂

All I could say is all the region of some of the NPC name is weird

not to mention we had knights named after the three musketeers from the very beginning in Mondstadt (Athos, Porthos and Aramis, one of them partolling tht big Barbatos statue, the other two guarding a building)

In Mondstsdt, I remember when I first saw the name Nimrod, I cackled 😂

There are 2 npcs in HSR that are named “Back N’” and “Forth”

Ok it's the same word but without the "é" -> "dénouement", interesting thanks 😊

Hope you enjoyed it!

@@KomemosGI yes, I enjoyed it a lot! 🎉 Thanks a lot for awesome content 👍🏻👍🏻

if only the en dub did its job right and we could just trust the official source

@@colorbar.sthey say they like to stick to one way of pronouncing everything, as in the most western way possible, so stuff like Tighnari gets pronounced like “Tie-nari” to go with “sigh” or “nigh” instead of “tigg-nari” (or the nearest equivalent to the original) but then i hear stuff like Focalors pronounced kinda similiar to the french pronounciation with them going “fo-sal-ors” which breaks their own rule bc if they were gonna pronounce it how they said they were gonna it wouldve definitely been “fo-cal-ors” with the hard ‘c’ so uhhhhh yeah they kinda shit it’s so inconsistent that back when there was that drama about the dub company that genshin uses for the english dub went under fire people straight up made a theory that if the company was rlly so shitty then maybe they were the reason all the sumeru names were so badly pronounced (cause maybe they have some hand in how they director directs the pronounciations). also localization in general i mean raiden’s signature’s name was supposed to be a reference to a famous sword in japan (Kusanagi no Tsurugi) but then got changed from Kusanagi no Inabikari to Engulfing Lightning which sounds cool but i miss the old version which couldve also been called Grasscutter’s Light in english or something and is IMO even cooler. Idk its been 2 years and i’m still a bit salty.

Out of every Fontaine update, this is what I'm most excited about: That French content creator who's going to teach us how to correctly pronounce the names.

Since foçalors is based on the demon name from Solomon's lesser key Focalor Have your asked any historians if french and spanish countries in the past pronounced the name "Focalor" with the "S" sound. Both language are latin rooted so i'm curious what was the process to having from the "K" sound to be transformed into "S" sound.

​@@user-wj2ov8kq1oIn the case of the words "garçon" and "façade", they ultimately derive their cedillas from the Ecclesiastical (as opposed to the older Classical) Latin pronunciations of garciō and facia (where C before i is a "ch" sound, similar to modern Italian). The name Focalors is similar to the Latin "fōcāles", which refers to a kind of neckcloth. The Ecclesiastical pronunciation of this uses a hard "k" sound like the Classical, which makes this more confusing lol Another example of the soft C in French is, well, "France" (demonym français). This comes from Latin "Francia", with the soft sound seemingly coming from the Ecclesiastical pronunciation again. A person from Francia is Francus (Frank), and the pronunciation seemingly uses a hard K in both Classical and Ecclesiastical. So the only way I think the cedilla in Foçalors can be explained is if her name was at one point spelled with a "CI", "CAE", "COE" or "CE". My guess is her name might have previously been something like "Focialōra" in Latin, I honestly dk lmao

thanks guys for this informative responses

Thanks for the info! I didn't research much about foçalors 🙏🙏

@@Syiepherze Exactly. Since the Lesser Key of Salomon (the book in which daemons were listed and described taking content from older files back even to Hebrew) as an ecclesiastical tome it's written in Latin, what you said applies: therefore Focalor is pronounced "fokalor". Furthermore, thank you for explaining all of it in a better way than I could.

Consigliere in the video is definitely italian

Yeah I didn't remember Manet tbh, only Monet

You mean Monet?

@@KomemosGI From the Modernist Era. Manet is the one that started (?) the Modernist Era. He painted Olympia, one of the most controversial pieces of its time, as it depicted a prostitute. His works are actually an inspiration to Monet.

​@@user-yg7qd4bo9fManet and Monet were friends. Manet even painted Monet painting. It's called Monet in his Studio Boat, in English.

​@@user-yg7qd4bo9fno, there's both Manet and Monet

No UK. UK was in Mondstadt. Though there is a lot of Italian in Fontaine (Spina di Rosula) and also some Belgian (ex Vaneigem)

​@@trrt2719Mondstadt is based on Germany wtf 😭

@@trrt2719the dog is also very english btw. I don't think you have that kind of dog in france.

​@@QopaThe dogs look like poodles to me, which is the national dog of France, and is indeed quite a popular breed in France.

Yes totally! Didn't want to make it sound like everything should be french, it's 100% a mix of cultures

Not me also😅

as a french I agree

That's what I was thinking too, especially when I first started playing the game, I wanted to switch to French actually to help me with my French lol, even before Fontaine was released 😅

I saw fanmade one on youtube ages ago, hoyo should hire them if they ever do french dub..

Hey funny you say that, there's a community doing a french dub for the game right now. Apparently they're trying to mod the game so we can play in french, it'd be so interesting to be honest! The channel where they post everything is "dubia french dubbing" if I'm not wrong. Their dubs are really nice, well in my opinion, but you should go see if you're interested in a feench dub like me. I hope they can do a mod.

​@@randomistoportunistfr? They need to make it official

God what I would give to hear correct pronunciation of names and words

​@@ach6308Zio lo sappiamo non c'è bisogno che lo dici a ogni commento

Why? If I can ask

@@dreamer_tako9061 in frensh, when double L is put between two voyels , it is prounounced as Y , when I first read Neuvillette I thought they would prounounce it Neuviyette.(Also it's the name of an actual place in France). same thing applies to words like "Feuille", "paille", "bouillir" (I am not french but I'm fluent enough to know these stuff) If they're trying to say his name with a french accent might as well apply the rules.

They said Europe in Livestream so yes

@@haroonafridi231but france, britain and italy are not the only countries in europe💀 and other regions also only had 1/2 countries they were inspired by and germany for example is already taken by mondstadt. They mainly used french words and names (or took inspiration from that) so it could be that they wanted whole of europe but it ended up mainly being france tbh

Its got a bunch of European influences sprinkled here and there. Fonta was invented in Germany, Lasagna is something you can get in the game too. Some names are from other languages like Virgil being Latin.

@@anschandarxd i didn't say it's only these too What i mean was, that Britain comes in Europe too so yes they must have took some inspection from that too And yes the main inspection point was France i think

Main inspiration was France, yes but they did say europe. But they do have some English names like Wriothesely's name. But yeah. I think its interesting but also difficult cause it takes names from different languages pfft

Freck The French

gross

Also Euphrasie is the real name of Cosette in Les Misérables
