[let’s hope this one isn’t as big of a disaster as the awoofy port.]

in ipa: do you say /əwufi/ (/u/ as in “goose”) or /əwʊfi/ (/ʊ/ as in “foot”)?

yet another way to put it: do you say awoofy or awoofy?

or maybe you say it a secret third way?

    [also repost, was actually originally two separate comments]
    [sorry for the mess i’m making on lemmy.world, both kbin.social and lemm.ee only have the new instance of each post]
    [i love juggling three instances at the same time (:]

    for the record, i say it the first way (/u/ as in “goose”). hearing kirbyvolt (other comment) say it the other way in their kirby and the forgotten land let’s play is what inspired me to post this.


    i wasn’t able to find an official english pronunciation from the nintendo of america youtube channel, but here’s how various youtubers pronounce it:

    /u/ as in “goose” / awoofy:
    AntDude
    pengyd769
    Miketendo
    The Completionist
    Quasimofo
    BornLosersGaming
    StephenPlays
    The D-Pad

    /ʊ/ as in “foot” / awoofy:
    Etce
    Daily Doodles for You
    KirbyVolt
    ZackScottGames

    based on this list, it seems like the first pronunciation (/u/ as in “goose”) is more common. but this isn’t a big sample size so who really knows. feel free to bring up how other youtubers / notable people say it.
