ColecoDan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Gul cave I assume most people from the US would pronounce it this way as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebulon Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 As far as I can tell, this is a Japanese title. However, I really don't think it's a Japanese word. It doesn't follow any of the conventions of Japanese characters written with English characters. If it was to be said in Japanese form it would likely be Goo Du Kah Veh However, no self-respecting Japanese person would set themselves up for disaster by using an "L" like that. In my case, I've just been calling it Gull Cave, with the expectation that someday someone from Japan will correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 To my knowledge it's some body part between the uterus and ovaries. Thus, I've never had to pronounce it in polite company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulkave is written ガルケーブ in katakana, which is the alphabet used to denote foreign (non-native) words. First character = Ga Second = Ru Third = Ke (dash after means make the vowel sound long, and the "e" is pronounced as a hard "a", so this sounds like "kay") Fourth = Bu "Garukebu" - I'm guessing that this is just a made up word since it is done in katakana, even though "garu" and "kebu" both having meaning when written with hiragana and kanji (respectively). In English, it is probably closer to say "Gul-kah-vay", but I'd bet most people say "gull-cave". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK version is even shorter. They got it down to two syllables. Over there they say "Wurst-chur". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
